    Until a source other than the Mirror is used I call this as B.S

    The Mirror is the number 1 most unreliable tabloid out there. It has very little credibility left

    The same Mirror that Piers Morgan was fired from for posting fake photos of staged Iraqi soldier torture? What have you been smoking, Joe?

    It's not the kind of story you'd make up without some substance. If they are not on solid ground with the allegations it could be costly to them.

    Agreed. Also what happens to the people who lost money betting on Wlad?

    In my opinion we will know if it's a legitimate story soon enough because other sources will also report it after they have looked into it and verified it themselves

    You can bet legitimate reporting sources and sites are looking into it as we speak and if it's just a made up tabloid BS, we won't hear any other sources reporting it..... so we will know in a couple three days

    The thing that worries me is that when UKAD was questioned it said "it refuses to discuss any cases until the due legal process has been completed."

    This suggests this isn't just some bullchit story but has some substance to it as clearly there is an investigation being done by UKAD and legal proceedings have been taken.

    Seems like a hoax. Read the first sentence of the article:

    The world heavyweight champ is being probed by officials after traces of a banned anabolic steroid were allegedly discovered in a sample taken last year

    What does this even mean?

    A) "Allegedly discovered?" Were they discovered or not? Who is alleging?"

    B) "The world heavyweight champ is being probed by officials" Wouldn't the officials know about it an be the ones brining the charges?

    C) Why is no one else reporting?

    D) Why is the doping agency not reporting?

    E) Why did it take seven month to run a sample?


    Seems very fishy.

    I was skeptical at first but when UKAD were questioned about this they said " it refuses to discuss cases until due legal process has been completed".

    This suggests there is some truth to these allegations otherwise they would have simply denied that there was any truth to the story.

    Poor performance by Wlad, but watch out for the rematch. Fury will be knocked unconscious. Mark my word!

    I hope the fight doesn't get cancelled. I really want to see Wlad knock this disgraceful steroid cheater out.
