    To be fair I'm not sure... Performance enhancers are usually around 24 months, sometimes reduced depending on individual scenarios.

    As cocaine is recreational I presume it would be a shorter ban... 6 months would sound reasonable... But the BBBOC will be as strict as possible with Fury, despite his fragile medical condition.

    They will try and take him out of the sport for as long as possible because of his poor performance as a role-model... I really like Tyson but can see why governing bodies will want him out!

    This isn't the last we have seen of him though... He's a fighting man... It's in his blood

    I don't think Fury should receive a ban for the coke but if the PED use is proven to be true then YES he should be banned for at least 2 years.

    I can't believe some ppl are defending the guy. Look, he's been too inactive, **** him for holding the division back, I say strip him.

    He has a hearing with the UKAD on November 4th in regards to a potential failed test dating back before the Wlad fight so we'll find out soon enough

    He should lose his titles if he's used PED's but only if the result v Wlad gets overturned otherwise what's the point?

    More than that he should have his licence revoked due to his mental and physical decline over the past few weeks.

    He has said himself he hasn't trained at all since May. He said his ankle injury was a lie, he was too depressed to take the fight seriously. Boxing has a responsibility to look after the well being of its participants and for that reason above all else he shouldn't fight for an indeterminate amount of time.

    Just read the article in "The Sun" which quotes his interview with Rolling Stones Mag last night...

    The guy is in a really horrible personal state, regardless of the drug ban he needs time away from the sport to get himself together
