Fantastic news! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/42329394 Tyson Fury is free to resume his boxing career after accepting a backdated two-year doping ban. BBBofC agreed with the outcome according to UKAD
Over to you Mr Fury, no excuses now, just stay off the un castrated boar as Mr Joshua, Mr Wilder and Mr Parker are eagerly awaiting your return. May be you could do a little light training prior to these bouts, not suggesting you need to do so, as i can see you are in prime physical condition.
Two year backdated ban, I suppose it is a decent resolution. Ortiz vs Fury in the battle of the PED cheats.
Surely Tyson can't complain of any conspiracy against him now, his voluntary retirement essentially counts as his 'ban' for testing positive for nandrolone, which he clearly accepts he was caught with (apparently unknowingly) & he seems to have received no punishment for refusing a random drugs test. He's got off lightly in my opinion. Let's hope he stops faking injuries and taking cocaine when he's got a big fight lined up, because I for one am looking forward to seeing what he has left.
People screaming “FURY’S BACK” He’s nowhere near back. He hasn’t even got a license yet, he’s still way out of shape and is still a bit of a fruitcake. There’s a hell of a long road to go yet before anyone can claim he’s back. I remain convinced he’s going to do something stupid and feck it all up again.
Tired of Fury and his crap - tbh I personally wouldn’t give a monkeys if he was banned for 10 years. The idea of AJ v Fury with Tyson running round the ring switch hitting with AJ having to try to chase him down will make for a terrible fight but oh well.
I reckon we will see Fury sign a deal with Matchroom, I know the hipster brigade will be against it but if Fury was smart that is what he would do.
Disgraceful decision. Now UKAD have left themselves open to all sorts of lawsuits and appeals from athletes who have received length bans of more than 2 years for refusing a drugs test.
