    Cheatings cheating though isn’t it, does it really matter about the manner? I think they all deserve a ban that’s consistent. If you get caught, then you should be banned for a set time. I see some get banned for 6 months, others for 2 years etc. I appreciate that each ped is different but it’s still cheating, and it’s confusing for the fans.

    Yes, I believe that once they serve their ban, they should be allowed another chance. If they do it again then they should be banned for life.

    Galahad's ban was too long so it was reduced by 6 months as the results weren't consistent with a deliberate doping plan.

    No i wouldnt say that cheating is cheating and thats why i said its the manner in which its done.
    A good example would be enzo (iirc) his case was the jacked 3d that used to be available over the counter and he didnt realise it was a banned substance. In that case id say it was carelessness but some would call him a cheat.
    Its all about the intention. The ones who intend to cheat are the ones who should be banned for life and no second chances imo.
    In life im the first one to stand up and say people deserve a second chance but in this sport where lives are on the line you cant be too liberal. A hard line has to be taken.
    The only way i would alter my view would be that any one caught intentionaly cheating, after undergoing a lengthy ban of 5yr would then be subject to hair sampling as thats one test you cant get around.

    Fair enough len but ive come to that conclusion as i think josh beats lee then if he faces carl before mch next year i reckon josh will have enough at that point to beat carl.
    If they havnt met by then, then i would rank carl above josh.
    Josh has to beat carl to get above him in the rankings.

    Excuse me for replying in 3 different posts and lengthening out this thread but lets get this in context. Firstly you seem to be a galahad sympathiser and are trying to fight his corner somewhat.
    He pushed the appeal process thats all he did. He manipulated the system for his own benefits. he came out with a bull excuse that hed been spiked instead of been honest and putting his hands up and showing remorse, he constructed a story with his brother who was serving time, that his brother spiked his protein shake as his brother wanted some kind of revenge on kid. If that was true why didnt his brother pick up the phone and let ukad know. Like i say he played the system and got a reduction. Your as bad as he is if you keep trying to defend him

    Played the system? He's the only UK athlete ever to have his ban reduced without admitting doping.
    He was tested 6 times in the 12 months before this test including when he knocked out Dickens.

    No one will fight him until he gets made mandatory, which he might for the IBF soon. Who would give him a voluntary defence? He's too dangerous.

    Hopefully an IBF final eliminator in June.
    Frampton is no.3, Galahad no.5. Frampton gave up his European title when Galahad became his mandatory. What are the chances of Frampton giving it another swerve?
