TONY THOMPSON failed a drugs test after the fight that destroyed David Price’s career.
The American heavyweight, who stopped Price in both February and July 2013, then tested positive for a drug which is classified as a diuretic and masking agent.
Price’s prospects have since been in tatters despite him being previously touted as a future world heavyweight champion.

****ing cheating disgrace Thompson. I feel really sorry for Price, he had great potential before this guy knocked him out while he was juiced out his brain. Ruined Price's career. Filthy cheat. I actually believe Thompson as he was straight up fat for this fight. Obviously he could be cheating because strongmen/ power lifters are "fat" but a boxer needs aerobic conditioning and Thompson had boobs like a female **** star.
Probably because he failed a drug test for taking blood pressure medication for his high blood pressure.
But not a good look after publicly stating that steroids should be legalised.
He said it right before the Price rematch.

Far out !
I dont know what to say.
I get Thompsons point about the gun-law parallel, but jeez.....
A much stricter, mandatory, level of testing is what is required.
Did Thompson cop any flak for making those comments ?
A number of people have said that.
I musta missed it.
So, Thompson publicly stated that steroid abuse should be legalised?
Really ?
Were folks calling him out when he said it ?

It was high blood pressure medicine that was disclosed by Thompson. British press is pathetic. :rofl:
Really ?
What the fcuk is happening here ?
confused
So, Thompson publicly stated that steroid abuse should be legalised (dont know what to say about that)..... he got caught..... the results were released two years later..... but it appears that it may be an administrative oversight or something, regarding a disclosed prescription ?
Is that right ?
Cheating cunt. No wonder he was talking about how PEDs should be legalised.
A number of people have said that.

Nope not going to happen, it should but it won't, if they do then lets reverse the decisions when Mosely admitted to being on peds
Good point. I guess that is likely because of the time involved ?
With Mosley he admitted to it about 3-4 years later.
It seems such a long delay since the Price fight, even considering the appeal.
This is exactly why PED cheats should be eliminated from the sport. We are dealing with people's health and livelihoods here, look at what has happened to David Price's psyche and career since that fight.
He might never fulfill his potential now. All thanks to a boxer who couldn't compete cleanly.
That is why I think Margarito should be bashed with a spade.
Good point.
It is a diuretic AND masking agent.
I wonder what else Thompson was on.
A NC is whats up, like Techliam said.

I find it a bit weird that a Heavyweight would use a Diuretic, they have no need to cut water weight.

I hope the results are changed to a NC then, even if Thompson didn't need them to win. This is professional boxing
Lost so much respect for Thompson
It might clear up the face of Price's record a bit, and might perhaps give Price a much needed boost of confidence.

2 yrs have passed so who gives a f!u!c!k now, just shows how corrupt this sport is. Federal investigation should have happen in this corrupt sport by now
