How is Fury the "lineal champ" when he's a proven drug cheat?

Id know what it means in a Thesaurus but not so sure in its meaning in Boxing terms. How did Wlad get it? Will Wilder get it if he beats Fury? Wasnt Canelo the Middleweight Lineal champ after 2 fights, both at a catchweight?

 

Joshua is a walking laboratory that is obviously protected by The establishment since he is the cash cow. But eventually everyone gets exposed, Joshua will test positive one day once he has stopped generating wealth for the Drug testing agencies.

 

Hi Tyson

 

Not concerned about the title either.

What you Fury fans act completely oblivious about is his failed drug test for Nandrolone. ****ing nandrolone for ****s sake. Second most anabolic hormone on the planet.

Nandrolone makes Canelo’s clenbuteral use look like a Boy Scout.

 

So again, why don’t Fury fans never address his failed drug test for Nandrolone????? This delegitimizes anything he’s accomplished obviously.

No way every one of you has amnesia.

 

He was caught using for the fight that earned him the shot at the title. Even worse.

 

How about when Margarito was found to have plaster of Paris on his fists during the cotto fight? I don't see a difference.

 

No he wasn’t.

“All titles, prize money and ranking points that [Fury] secured as a result of his victory in that fight are forfeited.”

 

Holla!

 

It's a fictional concept anyway, never paid much mind it, especially when the criteria is not even agreed upon dor what constitutes as "lineal"

 

The fact so many people over look this point says a lot about what is wrong with boxing in regards to doping, too many fans and boxing authorities are happy to sweep doping incidents aside when it suits them, usually so good and lucrative match ups can be made.

Same with Canelo, caught doping but because Canelo/GGG is a huge and lucrative fight everyone seems willing to just sweep it under the rug for now.

Also Povetkin getting a shot at AJ when he's failed 2 tests again shows how in boxing getting caught doping means very little. Ortiz too got a shot after failing 2 tests.

 

To be fair to Whyte, his suspension was for an over the counter pre-workout drinks powder.. really not comparable with NANDROLONE which is injected intramusculary

 

There’s gonna be a ****-fit around here when so and so becomes the lineal heavyweight champion.

 

Fury failed drug tests, pulled out of the Klitschko rematch and retired (if my memory serves) at least 2 times.

He isn't lineal Champion, it's a Fury fan thing, "he didn't lose his titles in the ring".. Yeah but that don't mean anything, neither did Lennox Lewis.

Wilder fans are now saying it because they want Wilder to claim that "title".
