    Really annoys me the divide fans put up with promoters. Why do people support promoters like this? As boxing fans they should be the least ppular people and force them to make the fights WE want. This promoter Fanboy **** is just pathetic.

    Why cant i like and dislike fighters from both stables?!?

    This. I don’t care if it’s Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Billy Joe Saunders, Tony Bellew or anyone else.

    And as for UKAD they are an absolute disgrace. You can take what you want whilst in camp, just as long as you come up clean come fight night then you aren’t in competition?! It’s outrageous and they need pulling up on it. Any fighter in camp who fails a drug test is in competition, it’s as simple as that.

    Just let Vada do it. I see Bellew has said how his tested by UKAD and Vada for this Usuyk fight. There really is no need. What sort of a mess would we have if a fighter failed a test according to Vada but the same blood and urine tested by UKAD showed no positive test as UKAD allows certain things outside fight night.

    It would be a complete mockery

    The mockery is that Billy Joe tested positive by an authority he had absolutely no need to be signed up to. It really comes down to either poor management (supplements) or outright cheating using banned substances. In both cases there are really no excuses or scapegoats that can be made.

    **Edit to this post. According to Hearnz latest IFL interview Sanders signed up for VADA testing after Andrade's team requested it. With this revelation Sanders has broken the rules of contract.

    They got away with it by lying and knowing that 99.99% of fans aren't going to bother fact checking. Add in the fact that they refuse to talk to anyone who might ask them awkward questions and it's job done.

    It's really easy.

    Personally let them all do what they want.. 90% of the banned substances don't actually do anything in reality..

    Unless they get busted with Anabolic Steroids or HGH which are the only two proven things that actually enhance performance then let them knock them selves out so to speak..

    Bottom line is the good guys are always behind the bad guys...

    Both Fury’s were banned for taking Nandrolone which is banned at all times by UKAD/WADA it’s a serious PED unlike stimulants.
    From UKADs and Furys agreed joint statement

    “ The proceedings have therefore been resolved on the following basis: the anti-doping rule violations based on the reported presence of elevated levels of nandrolone metabolites are upheld, the refusal charge is withdrawn, Hughie and Tyson Fury each receive a two-year period of ineligibility, and their results from their respective fights in February 2015 are disqualified “

    It is incredible that anyone could believe that the Fury's aren't guilty of doping especially as they admitted it. The shocking thing about their PED failures is that they got away with it. Tyson could have been banned for 8 years and Hughie wasn't even banned for 8 days despite apparently serving a backdated 2 year ban. Dark forces, dark forces.

    What part of the Furys accepted a 2 year ban for taking a banned at all times hardcore PED Nandrolone ?

    They are both 100% guilty otherwise they would of been cleared or fought the charges.
