    If Tyson had a semi competent management team he wouldn't have had to go through this nonsense. Whatever offence, if any, would have been dealt with by now.

    UKAD need to take responsibility for this, if it was just an elevated test and not a failure as the world was led to believe then they need to take accountability.

    Mental illness is not caused by being suspended for testing positive for banned substances or for refusing a test.

    I’d love to see a lawyer try to argue that in court ... “Expert Psychiatrist Testifies Things Not Going One’s Way Causes Bi-Polar Disorder.” LOL.

    Honestly they need to stop testing until they actually work out.

    a. What actually improves performance. May, could, should needs to be definitive..
    b. How to actually test for actual performance enhancing drugs.

    There is too many "may improve" and "possible masking" to have any real confidence in the system, look at Povetkin, career ruined (at least a WBC belt) because of a system which is no good at catching real cheats..

    Lucas Browne is another one and poor old Ortiz lost his chance for a payday because he like to live without worrying about a heart attack..

    These guys have all suffered because the system isn't up to the task to do the job its mean't to do..

    Mean time the real cheats (like Lance Armstrong who never got busted once) go on a flaunt the system because they are always one step ahead..

    Otiz was not banned by the WBC. Blood pressure medicine is not a PED! He did nothing wrong! Povetkin was also framed, this as to protect Wilder!

    Known medical fact that such things can trigger mental illness episodes.

    I remember Tyson being interviewed years before this drugs issue and talking very honestly and earnestly about his violent mood swings: peaks of incredible activity and enthusiasm separated by prolonged periods of utter despair. One of his very young children had been held in hospital, near death at the time. I recall thinking then that he sounded like he was bipolar and might well disappear / burn out, but also having more respect for his intelligence. I really do not think he is faking his mental issues (or if they are, he has played a very long and deep game).

    Fury clearly doesn’t have the best team around him to be smacked around like this?

    Fury messed up big time and deserves to be punished but this is just some serious years coming off what was always going to be a short boxing career for Fury.

    LOL.

    Has Tyson Fury actually been diagnosed with a mental disorder by medical professionals? Is he on medication? Because not seeking medical/psychiatric help and not taking one’s meds causes episodes.
