And in boxing, where cynicism reigns and many fans already believe that most top fighters are on something, any hint of ped use is usually met with condemnation and assumption of guilt.
It's kind of like how the police operate in America. They pull you over, make the same old joke as they pat you down, "got any guns, knives, bombs, grenade launchers?" lolllderp
Then when they ask, "do you mind if I check your vehicle?" and if you hesitate before answering or try to refuse, they immediately assume you have something to hide. By their logic, why would you refuse a search unless you had something illegal in the vehicle?
The recent drama with Fury has likely convinced many boxing fans that he was using peds.

I will say that if it was Joshua or Wilder who had been reportedly popped for nandrolone and told a tester to **** off, there definitely wouldnt have been any 'innocent until proven guilty' bs, they would have been hung from the rafters the moment the story had hit the press
This place would be in an uproar, and I'd be shouting "bull****" myself, even though I'm not exactly a big Wilder fan.
And if UKAD did the same thing with AJ as they did with Fury, the police would have to put guards outside the UKAD HQ to stop the place being trashed by AJ fans and supporters.

Maybe he was worried he forgot to rinse the water bottle?
