    If Ryan really wants to clear this up, he grabs Oscar's jet, flies to Colorado Springs and walks into USADA and tells them to take a few hair samples straight from his head and test them independently and tell them they can release the results straight to the public. The hair holds at least a month's worth of drug information.

    This would clear up any possible Haney/Conte/Vada connections influencing the urine samples.

    Apparently IVs are good at flushing substances for tests as well as getting the fluids back in.

    Of course not, nothing he took posed a threat to Haney's life, and it barely enhanced his performance, if at all.... so knock this stupid **** off. At worst, he should face a similar ban as all other cheats that came before him. At best, he should get off scot free like most name fighters that came before him. In particular, Fast Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Pedwarriors. Why should a scrub like Conor Benn walk free and Ryan Garcia not? Roy Jones Jr., Shane Mosley, Evander Holyfield, James Toney, Mike Tyson, Canelo Alvarez, Fernando Vargas, Erik Morales, Johnny Tapia, Tyson Fury, Alexander Povetkin, Sergey Kovalev and Vitali Klitschko are revered as icons and legends, every last one of them is a doper. Yet the same people who revere them, are getting the vapors, all in a huff of righteous indignation that a con artist like Haney might have gotten conned. Cry me a river.

    Man, if Dillian Whyte and Baby Miller can't get themselves banned, what chance does this kid have?

    No, beating Haney's ass shouldn't get him banned for life.

    Drug testing protocols should change, they should do a test and get the results a day or two out from the fight, that way if anyone has cheated the bout gets cancelled.

    I thought it was meldonium. Sharapova got banned for the same thing.

    We know how this is going to play out. Regardless of the controversy and denial they are going to award this fight to Haney. And if Haney has been working with Conte then he is as questionable as Garcia because why would you ever work with Conte unless you were trying to PED yourself through more surreptitious means? If you remember Olympic gold medalist Ben Jonson was stripped of his medal after testing positive and Carl Lewis condemned Jonson saying cheaters should be banned for life. Years later the samples were retested and it was shown that Lewis had used another PED that was undetectable at the time.

    Yeah anyone who is working with Conte is putting themselves in a position where people will, at the very least, question whether they're clean or not, as in more so than they usually would question other fighters who are not enlisting the services of a disgraced PED guru.

    I remember when many fans on social media and some YT channels accused Mikey Garcia of being a PED cheat due to him being a SNAC fighter but strangely enough they've never levelled those accusations at Haney, Ward, Crawford etc.

    Had we not seen the brazen corruption on display during the fight, and in a previous fight of Haney's, I wouldn't be near as suspicious as I am and I rarely question it when a fighter pops dirty no matter how much I dislike a them, their opponent or their fans.

    Ideally he should be banished
    But this is boxing & he is the current face of it
    Fat chance he gets banned too much money to be made.
    Regardless of his povetkin level peds reported in his system (allegedly)
