Should Tyson be stripped of his titles for testing positive?

Yes.

And he should serve his four years. It will probably be good for him, too.

 

Oh I don't know four years is a little harsh,a two year ban is a long time as he's not gonna have champion in recess status is he?

 

Well, no top athletes go around admit they are cheating, even though we know they are. So hypocrisy is par for the course. The few athletes who have admitted they cheated "to win" have been demonized without mercy, so better to be a hypocrite and deny, perhaps.

The nandrolone thing hasn't been settled yet.

I don't see how they've made a mockery of the sport beyond what is considered normal for the sport. They do seem like amateurs in many ways, but the sport's reputation is pretty bad. R*pists and woman-beaters are idolized, top fighters go to jail, cocaine and alcohol abuse is familar, as is cocaine use wearing women's lingerie, brawling at press conferences, killing innocent people in hit-and-run speeding incidents.

 

As you're no doubt well aware, there is a huge difference in denying being a cheat and accusing others of cheating whilst cheating. C'mon, don't play dumb.

You don't think this circus is making a mockery of the sport? Well it's subjective, but to me they are and plenty of others agree.

You're welcome to keep excusing their nonsense. I however, will respectfully disagree.

 

Yep

 

I think as a general rule no belt holders should be allowed to hold any belts when they fail a test.

 

I see no basis for him to retain any titles if he is found to have Juiced prior to the Klitschko fight.

 

Qhat really makes me laugh is, the guys saying Fury should stripped & banned, are the same loonies claiming Floyd Mayweather is the God of Boxing ROFLMAO. Now if anyone should be banned & have his record expunged its Mayweather

 

does a bear s--- in the woods?

 

Cocaine or steroids..Both are cheating..He should have a 4 year ban. And not any of that champion in recess bull****....

 

I don't think any fighter should be banned for recreational drugs in their system because they are not performance enhancing drugs, if anything they are performance decreasing drugs. But if it's in the rules then yes they should be banned

 

The speculation forming the basis for his upcoming hearing is that he used PEDs.

 

Yes people shouldn't confuse the alleged failed test for cocaine recently for the supposed failed test for nandrolone last year.

If he had failed an in competition test for cocaine last year I doubt he would have challenged it as it being a non performance enhancer he would have likely only received a very short ban. The fact he has challenged it in the law courts prolonging the process for over a year and is now appealing it suggests the failed test last year was more than just some recreational drug and he is looking at a lengthy ban.

Also Fury's supposed defence after the leak saying the failed test could have been due to supplements he was taking again leads to the conclusion what he failed was seen as a PED as you don't get failed tests for cocaine from supplements, it all leads to PED's.
