    What genuine reasons?

    Say his mother died, then three weeks later his father died. How awful. Impossible to find ten minutes to have blood drawn?

    When you're a citizen an your ma passes you get two weeks or some **** off. All this kid would have to do is eat less than 3000 calories a day and sit still for 2-4 minutes at some point in an eight week period.

    There is no reasonable reason.

    In fact, there's only one reason for it to occur at all.

    There are genuine situations like when the cyclist Lizzie Armistead missed her 3rd test. She missed it because the tester didn't follow procedure and so the test was missed. An athlete gives the testing body an allotted hour every day for a location when they can be tested so there's no chances they can be missed. The tester didn't show up at the allotted time given, showed up randomly at 6am, reception wouldn't let him in as tester simply asked for her room number and did not explain he was there to take a sample, tester made no attempt to contact her team to let him past the reception, only tried to call her but her phone was on silent as she was asleep. Her mechanic was literally at the front of the hotel working on the bikes but tester didn't even speak to him to get him access so he could test her.

    Suffice to say when Armistead appealed she won, as it was pretty obvious the tester hadn't done his job properly.

    Will only prolong the inevitable, him taking a trip(or three) to the canvas.

    He's a mediocre pro. Isn't suited for it. He's obviously a skilled boxer... But his career will end up looking more like Audley's than it has other gold medal winners. Someone like Gorman who has very little amateur experience in comparison is better suited for the pros. That's boxing for ya.

    Yeah, if the tester didn't turn up three times, that would be fair enough.

    Yes, if he can learn to fight tall, and tighten up his defense, and improve his punch technique, and improve his accuracy, and learn how to cut off the ring, and several other critical skills, he could actually be a decent HW !

    And how long does it take your average heavyweight to master those techniques, 6 fights?

    Just another Cuban who stayed amateur his whole career, and is now seeing out his dying days in a decaying commie s-hole. Just like 99% of the other amateur boxing stars from Cuba

    Yep, I thought Joshua beat Dychko and just edged Camarelle but honestly can't see how anyone with two eyes and a fully functioning brain could of scored the Savon fight for Joshua.
