I posted about this earlier in the week & still can't make my mind up, There's a few posters on here that know their stuff....& many more that don't, Is Tyson really so fragile & childlike a lack of adulation for winning belts he's yet to defend breaks him or is this purely a ploy to muddy the waters 're drug tests?
Everyone's just assuming things at the moment, as always folk just spout rubbish and make ones mind up on things they don't really know the score on... I'm just waiting to see how it all unfolds, all this trash talk we are seeing from many is just silly at the moment considering we don't really know what's going on...
The general consensus will probably say it's a ploy. But that doesn't really make sense. There are easier ways around "PED scandals" .... in fact, PED scandals are commonplace in sports, and first offences are dealt with leniently anyway, especially where big money is concerned. They are barely scandalous at all. There's a zillion ready-made excuses and stuff to minimize the punishment. And in boxing, you can get away with a bit extra. There are loads of boxers out there who have had positive tests and carry on fighting. There's also the fact that he tested clean for his title fight with Klitschko and no one disputes that. It's yet to be seen how much UKAD even have against him, regarding nandrolone. So even IF he's guilty, it's ridiculous to think this is the master ploy. The man is actually a bit mad.
Another thing, what about Hughie Fury? He's apparently under the same offence at the same time as Tyson for PEDs. How does all this help Hughie? Why isn't Hughie pulling the mental illness card too? What's Hughie going to do?
If he had a genuine problem, why has John Fury said he has still not gotten help? It's a complete load of ****.
I feel bad for Fury. He may well be having a tough time and possibly need some support. I hope he gets well and wish him well. Often when people are unwell it gets unnoticed and they get bashed unfairly by critics. Just look at how other sportpersons and celebrities have suffered and in servere cases not got through and then people then talk in hindsight and forget the criticism that was happening beforehand. Fury is a talented fighter and I hope he makes a full recovery
