    He's an obvious roider.
    But so is AJ.
    AJ has better protection though, incredible money powers behind him.

    They made him sign a piece of paper to get his career back. Name only thing.

    The reason that they were afraid to go to court is that they had no answer to why they didn't attempt to act on the "finding" for 16 months and subsequently let a title fight occur.

    There simply is a lot of gray here.

    That's the normal process with UKAD, they normally don't announce a failed test immediately until the process has reached a certain stage and then they make it public and by then usually everything is settled. But Fury kept taking UKAD to court behind the scenes and delaying the process and it only came out after it was leaked, likely by UKAD because Fury was trying to rematch Wlad while secretly suspended by UKAD.

    Where UKAD messed up for me was informing Fury so late about his adverse result. Are UKAD perfect obviously not, but the idea that VADA is better is false. VADA has created a brand that they are the gold standard when in reality most national anti-doping bodies are superior because they are actually 24/7, 365 days per year unlike VADA which you can enrol and then un-enrol when you do a cycle of PED's.

    Agreed on this part, UKAD really messed up in allowing the first fight happening when they knew Fury had failed a test and there's really no defence for that.

    Who cares they aren't fighting for a legitimate title so then can roid all they like. Won't change that they both are mid tier boxers with decent physical attributes with tiny penises.

    VADA has no jurisdiction to enforce anything they just inform people of the results.

    Damn. Starting to think that Joshua and Usyk are the only clean heavyweights out there

    It's a bit of moot question really; VADA only conduct testing, they do not have the authority to suspend anyone (this is up to anti-doping agencies such as UKAD). Remember Eddie Hearn tried to get the Benn-Eubank fight to go ahead after Benn popped in a VADA test, on the pretence that a VADA test does not have the legal provenance of leading to a suspension.

    Of the 1481 active heavyweight boxers ranked on Boxrec, how many do you think would beat Joshua and Dubois?

    Just curious to know how many are in your 'top tier'. Is the top tier just Usyk and Fury? Presumably it would have been just Fury had Usyk not beat him all over the ring a few months ago?

    Am I right in thinking that the only way for a heavyweight boxer to become top tier is to officially beat Fury (I say officially, as a lot of people think Ngannou and McDermott beat him, but that probably isn't enough, right?)?

    I remember Liam Smith opted out of WBC VADA testing years ago for the Canelo fight I think but made a huge stink of Beterbiev's non failed test :lol:

    All testing is a joke, the successful athletes buy the good, undetectable peds.

    No point in any testing, every relevant athlete on Earth is juiced to the gills. Look at Serena, Williams and Caroline Wozniacki's legs once the quit juicing because of motherhood. They shrunk by 50%.

    I have 50 tiers which are a closely guarded secret to me myself and I. God tier is my highest tier though, the lowest being bum dosser stiff idiot tier which AJ will reside in once Dubious chins him.
