    I know this is old news, but Barrett failed a drug test so why is this still standing as a Barrett win? I'm not really a fan of either fighter, just curious. Is the drug test disputed or something? All the threads on here are just bashing Barrett for it, but no real facts.



    Anyone know?

    In Short, I think it's because the WBO didn't put a lot of stock in the failed drug tests and thought it may have been Tua/New Zealand was being poor losers. There are articles out there if you search.
