    What I want to know is why UKAD initially accepted Team Fury's explanations, finding them consistent with the levels of offending substance present in his sample, and gave them no reason to think the matter was ongoing, only to go public with the positive result a whole eighteen months later, after Fury had gone on to box for the heavyweight championship, and ever so conveniently during a period where he'd become the subject of a concerted UK media witch-hunt arising from comments of a, uh, politically challenging nature.

    Yes, UKAD are a bastion of integrity, not for sale or open to influence from special interests. Dilly Whyte must be a clean boy, because they says so.

    exactly.
    it is either:
    1. UKAD genuinely believed & conceded Fury's boar meat/diet explanation as reasonable (*and, yes, with nandrolone such false positives are scientifically possible and do occur .... unlike, say, dianabol) - and then maliciously twisted this incident into full blown violation after Fury proved unpopular with media as champion.
    or
    2. UKAD thought/knew Fury was a cheat all along but corruptly let him off the hook because he was heading into a title fight - before having a change of heart later on and booking him for the violation.

    it's corrupt as **** either way.
    UKAD has no credibility

    So a boxer like Benn should sue them over their shoddy practices that cost 30 grand per fight. Never heard of it happening.

    I'm a bit confused by Hearn's comments on the legality of BBBC using VADA to make a ruling. I get that UKAD is the official doping agency that they are legally bound to, but surely the BBBC's legal argument is that they can make a decision because a reputable, established agency has flagged Benn's sample and they are within their rights to take it into consideration, even if they aren't legally bound to them.

    VADA's tests clearing Whyte (it was a WBC final eliminator bout) also led to UKAD's conclusion that their A-sample was contaminated.

    If the testing agency you are connected to clears a fighter (UKAD), but an outside test brings up a different result (VADA). You should really get a third test before drawing a conclusion. Why is one more valid than the other?

    Very odd to make a decision like this, do they not have faith in UKAD?

    Have faith in whichever agency suits their narrative best at the time

    The real question is why bring up Dillian Whyte in particular? If plenty have cheated in the past?

    Answer: trolling.

    Whyte got cleared and moved on with life.

    Got KOd by Povetkin and Fury but ended up making millions of pounds in the process. Generational wealth. His family is set for life.

    Weldone Whyte, overall. You still sucked in the Fury fight and I’m disappointed about that.

    But weldone man, you made some serious cash money. And thats what most of it is really about.

    You make a good point. Tyson Fury failed a drugs test but this is hardly mentioned on the forum. The reason is probably because of how Hearn tried to cover it up when it was in the public domain and the B-sample nonsense.

    I’m pretty sure Fury and his team paid UKAD off anyway to cover it up too. Most of these fighters are on something but do it outside of camp / testing or time their cycle as we all know.

    The VADA / UKAD argument Hearn is making is nonsense.

    Frank Warren will do interviews tomorrow and be on Talksport condemning Hearn when he did similar when BJS failed a drugs test in the build-up to the Andrade fight. They are all the same.

    Exactly this.

    Correct. The establishment at the time wanted him out of the way and Warren wanted him back in the ring ASAP which is why they didn't contest the case to clear his name (it could have gone on for years). The plea bargain was for both parties to save face. Of course they never expected it turn out like it did (Fury v Wilder) and then they wanted him back in the sport. I hope when he retires he smokes the lot of them. Utter scumbags.

    Its the Matchroom connection mate.

    Whyte had already been busted for drugs and served ban, then the Rivas test and all that followed.
    Now we have another big name fighter in the same boat, along with Hearns shameless defence of him , it easy to relate it back to Whyte.

    But you know this, the cash he made is irrelevant in this situation, unless of course you are suggesting that taking drugs is justified by the end result ?

    People rave about Whytes B-Sample, but are we overlooking the fact that everybody's favourite gypsy is also on Benns doctors list? Hmm...
