    For androsterone, etiocholanone in a fight against Josh Taylor in Glasgow on November 3rd 2018
    The ban is backdated, so until November 3rd 2022.

    Wonder how long they're going to suspend Whyte though.

    Proves that you can't trust a man with two first names.

    After his recent 'everyone bow to me' comments and PPV price hike I'd say that was fair.

    This guy failed his Vada test. Whyte didn't.

    In this fight against Josh Taylor he did'nt even try, it was like he just showed up to get knocked out and was happy with that.

    Furthermore, Ryan Martin had no business being in the WSSB. He was completely unknown and had done absolutely nothing of note to be invited into the WSSB. Not only that but Ryan Martin did not even belong at 140 and nor had he ever fought there before. He was dragged up from 130lbs to be cannon fodder.

    So all of a sudden It doesn’t count when you fail from other doping agencies? It was reported that VADA only did a portion of testing. What if VADA only did the urine test and UKAD also did the blood test which is why Whyte popped in theirs?

    Martin should have kept the receipts because whatever benefits they were suppose to give him, they clearly didn’t work as he performed absolutely terribly against Taylor.

    Doesn't say much about him then. He got SMASHED by Josh Taylor if I remember correctly.

    He moved up to 140 from 135 two fights before the tournament had even been announced, he's never fought at 130 or even weighed below 135, and he's 5'11'' with a 74'' reach and 16 of his 23 fights have technically been at light-welterweight.

    No I'm just pointing out the differences in both cases.

    You saying that was about as useful as Isal's continual reminders that clenbuterol is not a steroid whilst agreeing it is a performance enhancing drug.
