Comments Thread For: Francois Botha Tests Positive For Two Banned Substances

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

South African heavyweight boxer Francois Botha - the man seemingly robbed of victory in his fight against Sonny Bill Williams - has reportedly tested positive for two banned substances.

Australia's Channel 9 is reporting that a blood sample collected a few days before the bout has shown Botha used phentermine, which is an appettite supressant that can lead to hostility and "and urge to attack", and benzodiazepines, a muscle relaxant. Both are on the WADA (World Anti-Drug Agency) banned list.

Damn.....

A whole lot was going on with this fight

[Earl-Hickey]

Yeah substances most commonly used in jet lag prevention pills, when he'd just flown to Australia

Khoder nasser trying to save face for Williams, nothing more

[Hougigo]

Okay... so Botha cheated and the fight was still cut short.
They can focus on this if they want, but the fight was still cut short mid-fight

Damn, they're trying to frame the Buffalo to cover up the real crime.

Phentermine sounds awesome.

Phentermine is a medication which weakly stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and reduces appetite by stimulating a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The sympathetic nervous system is a network of nerves inside the body, when stimulated by the brain, causes the body to increase awareness, run faster, breath easier and muscles to work stronger. Basically everything you need to escape danger or run from a bear. Phentermine has similarities to the drugs amphetamine and cocaine. When the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated by these drugs, the body can perform better by enhanced lung and heart function, increased muscle strength, and increased focus and pain tolerance. Inflicting pain on every inch of your body and not caring are classic effects of amphetamines. Think back to the movie Scarface, at the end when Al Pacino is being shot multiple times but he doesn’t die! That is a real effect of cocaine that will make the body withstand more than it normally would.
