Seriously, put your opinion on Tyson Fury is guilty or innocent aside. Why did UKAD only bring a failed test to light over a year later, thus allowing fighters with failed tests to continue fighting?
It begs the question how many other fighters in the UK have failed tests and nothing has been done about it? Do they only implement a ban when it suits them? when they're influenced to do so?
UKAD as an organisation only has a £8m a year budget, which is actually very very little when you understand how business works. Maybe it costs a lot more money to deal with a failed test than a clean one, so they're not dealing with every case correctly. It seems to me Fury's test would have never come to light but then something triggered it a year later.
Fury may well be guilty but the whole timeline and process of what happened makes me think they have some sort of corruption going on there. A lot of things don't add up from the UKAD side.
Makes you wonder how easily influenced they are by outside sources and how many other failed tests they're sitting on.
Makes sense.
Maybe they just had no choice after the story leaked but to charge them. They were trying to cover it up before it was leaked?
We’d have never heard anything but for the leak.
It's very obvious. Western anti-doping agencies are corrupt as hell. They give protection to their local athletes. They probably have dirt on all of them because they're all on steroids. If Fury continued to be a good boy his history of doping wouldn't be a problem and it wouldn't come out. However he made some statements that they didn't like and became an embarrassment so they decided to make an example out of him. And the only reason why he got off now is because they want to feed him to Joshua in a huge money fight that Eddie Hearn wants to make.
This is why people complaining about Russians doping are massive hypocrites. Imagine if some Russian anti-doping agency pulled off something like this.
Westerners are a bunch of cheaters without honor.
It isn't just UKAD. It's any anti drugs body in boxing. They have agendas and certain fighters are let off lightly. Certain fighters who you would bet your house on being on PEDs, yet have squeeky clean images? Yet the big, chubby, hairy gypsies are done for juicing? Yea right.
Without a doubt.
Boxing is a big business and any industry like that has corruption. I've no doubt that if you know who's palm to grease and have enough clout, certain things like failed tests could disappear.
I think only a naive person would think otherwise.
Yeah, SKY paid them off to drop their investigation into Team Sky's widespread cycling doping program.
UKAD are SKY nut lickers, which means Joshua is free to roid up.
Could it be Sky paid UKAD so the lucrative ppv went ahead featuring Fury and Klitschko ? That’s what I always suspected and then when AJ was the new cash cow they gave Fury up so he didn’t derail their new venture until they’ve milked it for it’s worth.
Their had to be a smoking gun, it would never have come to light otherwise. Nobody knew how it was gonna happen with AJ ending up with Wlad’s IBF belt so quick, with the chance presenting itself it really sped along AJ fighting for a world title.
AND STILL........LINEAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Them closet child predator perverted politicians and courts can go to hell!
I don't blame Fury for not taking the test, they prolly would corrupt his test results with how shady they've been!
They're all over the place and have a history of awful discrepancies and terrible choices!
Fury is a character and a bit wild but you gotta know these board of directors and associates have egos and would want to slam an iron fist on someone!

They’re inept. Quite why anyone would require their opponent to use UKAD in future is perhaps pointless and endangering yourself towards fighting a steroid cheat.
Surely Hammer isn’t going to leave it as it is, UKAD allowed a steroid cheat to compete against him, the opponent is not only endangering him to considerable harm the United Kingdom testing authority is too.
I read somewhere they were holding out on the fury case to get more government funding
People love feeling sorry for the self proclaimed victim. So fury couldnt fight anywhere outside uk? He claimed he was innocent and that the truth would come out so that means theres no excuse for gettin that much out of shape
Its his own fault and he will get knocked out when he returns by aj if they fight before july 2019

Has to be one of the sketchiest conclusions to a drugs case you will see.
Hughie Fury copped a backdated 2 year ban, and is now ok to fight... when he just fought a few months ago :lol1:
I can understand why they dont release info on failed drugs tests until appeals processes are over, for other sports. If someone ends up being guilty then you just strip them of anything they won in that time. Boxing is different due to the dangerous nature of the sport. Imagine someone fails a test, appeals, fights in the meantime and someone dies or is seriously injured? If they were guilty all hell would break loose.

Joshua, like other Matchroom fighters, are covered by VADA once they make it to the international level. Same with Brook who was UKAD all his life up until recently.
Anyway UKAD has always been full of controversy. They have always been investigated and questioned by governing bodies, politicians, sports ministers etc.
They were the ones who played a role in the tennis doping scandal that broke out. Football too. Cricket aswell. Also, as you mentioned, cycling.

They have a really fùcked up history of controversy. They even banned someone once for using a Vicks inhaler with no chance of appeal. They banned a wheelchair athlete once too for the medication he was legally prescribed for his disabilities.
Fùck UKAD.
There needs to be an externally led inquiry into these events and at the conclusion senior management should be held responsible.
I think Fury was guilty as sin, but the issue now is greater than any one individual, it's essential to restore wider confidence in the process.
Yep. UKAD is shady as hell.

Not just UKAD. The BBBofC. Eddie Hearn and his relationship with StubHub. StubHub itself. Every single judge at the Rosado vs Murray fight. Boxing in Britain is as dirty as any other country don't let them tell you otherwise.
