The only difference I've seen thus far is how the commission dealt with them. I'm dying to hear the logic of why this fight was okay'd by the UK commission.
Can’t believe they would knowingly let a fighter , at the same time jeopardizing another’s life , who is juiced to actually fight
Talk about big time fughin incompetence
The commission’s answer will be distasteful as usual
To think we lost two fighters this week smfh
Whyte will release a statement (lie) tomorrow
So basically Whyte wants to watch the whole Eddie video before speaking.
That should take overnight.
Brits never heard of editing or a sound bite, apparently.
If Rivas woulda won & been on anabolic steroids Eddie would be flipping the f#ck out in every interview for the next 2 weeks.
Your damn fughin right
First thing I noticed while watching fight , was the difference in the size of the gloves
It’s inevitable to see
On top of that crap , he gets busted for roids
Where are all those people who trashed Baby Miller
Is this any different
UKAD put their head on the block by not provisionally suspending Dillian and clearing him to fight. If he doesn't get cleared by the adjudicating panel too, UKAD should be dissolved and rebuilt from scratch.
Whyte is going to be cleared. That hearing would have provided the results of all the VADA tests showing he was clean. Dianabol is detectable for 19 days. He wouldn't have passed the VADA tests unless they're completely garbage and useless.
Sweet Caroline... nah nah nah... bad times never seemed so glum.
He's leaning on VADA because Whyte didn't fail a VADA test. But we don't know when he was tested by VADA or how many times
He said that Whyte came up clean on all the VADA tests and that UKAD asked for information about the VADA tests in order to decide whether to clear him to fight or not.
Here is Hearn saying the exact opposite of what he said today regarding UKAD

He’ll never learn will he😂😂
Lol people asking for a breakdown. Watch the video. You've discussed it longer than 26 minutes so why should Randall break it down for you.
"26 minutes doe .. duh, my head is hurtin ... I gotta start yappin now ... :lol1:
These UK YT channels don't understand breaking up videos into bite sized 3-5 minute videos AT ALL do they. Even the short ones are 26 minutes long.
Can't concentrate on a video for more than 4 or 5 minutes?
Stop smoking the crack!
:lol1:
The damage to Hearn's reputation is as bad as that done to Whyte's. His pathetic attempts to defend his reprehensible actions are only making things worse.
Hiding behind confidentially. In another interview he says he couldn't notify the WBC because of confidentially and that's the job of the BBBoC. If that's the case then the WBC shouldn't be sanctioning fights in the UK. The WBC released a statement saying they still haven't heard anything from the BBBoC
It’s utter nonsense. Hearn is just trying to absolve himself and pass the book and the IFL stooge is more than happy to let him.
At the very least the man who’s life is potentially at risk should be notified. I mean imagine it was Rivas leaving the ring on a stretcher instead of Dave Allen.
The fact Rivas was allowed to go into a fight facing a clear unfair advantage only a day after we were all cruelly reminded of the severity of this sport, tells you everything you need to know about the moral compass of Hearn and co.
If Hearn is so righteous in following protocol, he could have postponed the show and waited for the outcome of a hearing. But we all know he chose to prioritise financial incentives over the safety of a fighter.
What a complete and utter scumbag!
And look, other promoters are pretty much the same way. Their fighter fails a drug test? No problem, they will be back on a show six months later...However, he tried to say it would be disgusting if TR put Miller against Fury...When he let Whyte go on and fight Rivas without notifying their team. Forget the fact he has a bunch of PED cheats on his stable (no different than other promoters), but how are YOU not going to notify team Rivas and let them know what is going on? And then let THEM decide if they want to go on with the fight or not?
It’s typical Hearn, he’s morally correct when it suits him.
It’s absolutely disgusting that Hearn, UKAD, the BBBofC and whoever else was involved allowed a fight to go forward full well KNOWING a fighter had tested positive for PED’s therefore had an unfair advantage. Had they not been caught out yesterday I doubt this would have ever been made public tbh, which is abhorrent.
Thank god Rivas never suffered any serious damage or this would be a whole different sort of investigation.
As a British boxing fan I’m beyond ashamed this has happened on our shores.
You Americans don't understand the word 'confidentiality' do you?
The test, the hearing, etc is all meant to be private. UKAD/BBBoC will only release a statement, or block a fight if a fighter is guilty. To determine their guilt 2 samples must be tested (1 in case of appeal).
What if Whyte was cleared to use the substance which produced trace elements of PEDs by UKAD as treatment for something?
What if he had 3 tests.
16th - VADA TEST (NEGATIVE)
17th - UKAD TEST (SAMPLE A POSITIVE)
18th - VADA TEST (NEGATIVE)
In that case he's going to ask for a B sample and argue that VADA didn't pick up on it so maybe the UKAD sample is contaminated.
If it turns out now that Whyte is innocent then it doesn't matter, the damage is already done.
Confidentiality in notifying the affected parties.... that is corruption. It is a bad look that UKAD did not notify the authority on this fight, the WBC and Rvias. Regardless of the difference between VADA and UKAD.You cannot have dopers go unchecked then allowed to go thru with the fight.
It defeats the whole point of testing in the first place.
He's smooth esp. with a lackey interviewer who he kept reminding, "this is your big chance."
Whyte speaks tmow. Hearn uses the "I don't know ANY MORE" excuse.
Several times he said "1 million per cent true." This only shows his false state of mind and hyperbole since you can't have more than 100% of a thing by definition.
Hearing him say that a couple of times reminded me of OJ pleading in court to charges of viciously slaying 2 people including the mother of his children: "Absolutely 100% not guilty" when he could have just said "not guilty."
Fast Eddie's: I wasn't there, I don't know etc and anything more ask Whyte or the agencies.

Gotta say Hearn did a great job spinning this and putting ALL of the blame/decision on the BBBoC however, basically admits there was a positive test, just that it wasnt a positive VADA test
He did a terrible job, it was laughable.
He's leaning on VADA because Whyte didn't fail a VADA test. But we don't know when he was tested by VADA or how many times
Or what levels they are dealing with and what constitutes an adverse finding. And what is the difference between the threshold between the two agencies in question, VADA and UKAD. But even then that question is not important given that UKAD knowing and doing what they did, allowed a cheater to fight illegally. Otherwise, what's the effing point UKAD????
Yeah exactly this!!
It’s absolutely disgraceful.
