Comments Thread For: Don George Speaks On Suspension; The Pascal Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Donovan ‘Don Da Bomb’ George reached to BoxingScene.com to offer clarification on the circumstances surrounding his suspension.

The super middleweight contender was informed by the Illinois Boxing Commission that he “tested positive for a banned substance.” The positive result came during the post-fight drug testing from his 12-round points win over Dyah Davis on August 23 at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois.

George (25-2-2-1NC, 22KOS) fought through much of the night with a broken hand, re-aggravating an injury he suffered 10 days prior to the fight. The Chicagoland puncher was given an anti-inflammatory prescription for pain relief, but failed to disclose beforehand to the Illinois Boxing Commission.

T3's?-what the hell are they banned for,they give you no advantage in a boxing match-more shoddy testing that misses designer peds ,but catches boxers using cough drops.

Go ahead and have the fight in Canada then. Its money for Montreal, Pascal and George and his twins, no need to respect the WBO's decision here

If it's truly Tylenol 3, the no contest should stand for not disclosing this but the suspension should be lifted.

So ******ed, Fighters are taking steroids and HGH, PEDS and Don was prescribed a pain medicine and and basically fought with 1 hand and they change it to a NC? Wow its messed up.

Derrick Findley also gota NC for tylenol 3 when he had a toothache

What a joke. If anything, it's a performance diminishing substance. Pain killers slow you down and make you groggy. Yeah maybe he should have said something, but the commission needs to use some discretion instead of being unreasonable idiots.

Something isn't right here. Codeine isnt on the WADA banned substance list. It is part of a monitoring program just to make sure no one is abusing it.


I told him that, but he said he wasn't going to fight it. So either he is lying about the drug in question or the commission messed up and suspended him not knowing that codeine isnt banned.
