Because canceling a fight, especially a huge one, a day or two before fight night is a huge disappointment not only for investors but also for fans. Fans only care when their fighter loses. That's when crying begins. I couldn't even remember how many number of times where positive results were announced a week or weeks after the fight is already done. Mostly slapped on insignificant fighters.
In Conor Benn's case his fight with Eubank was canceled on the eve of the fight. Man that was brutal. They must really hate Eddie Hearn over there. Just proves it's truly a FKD up sport. There is no consistent system that they follow. They make decisions based on what they feel at the moment. You can count the number of cancellations in one hand throughout recent memory because of PED usage. So they'd rather allow the fights to go ahead, then announce the PED results later. They're not protecting fighters. They're protecting people in the business.
What a come back. So? What's the difference? They can still sue after the fight.
And I see that you have no problem seeing positive tests only announced when the fight is already over. I thought testing is all about protecting the boxers.
If a test is performed days before a fight how could they get the results in time to know they'd have banned substances in their system?
They should sue the commission or whoever makes the final approval for these fights.
Any comment on why these fights are allowed to happen in the first place? Testing procedures are supposed to protect boxers. What is the point of announcing the positive tests when the fight is already over? I'm wondering why there are virtually zero discussions about this.

How can they sue a commission if the results haven't come back till after the fight?

If he could prove he was on PEDs, sure but he can't. Lindaratou can prove Baumgardner was so she should sue. I don't see the issue with holding cheaters accountable or them being sued for damages.

shes been cleared since early january and been available to fight anytime she wants, from busted to cleared, 6 months
Six months is not even a penalty. That's like regular vacation for most boxers in this sport. Many of them fight once a year.
Everything was already stacked in Baumgardner's favor in her fight with Linardatou. This was her homecoming fight in Detroit and it was filled with Detroit judges lol. The fight was actually close because Baumgardner gasses badly and needs to take rounds off. Even with all the PEDs in her system, Bumgardner still couldn't KO the recent mother Linardatou :rolleyes:
Question is why was the fight not canceled?
Peculiar part was Alice didn't have to do anything. She felt she didn't owe anyone any explanation. Nobody sued her. She just let a year pass and now she's allowed to fight again.

How about Alice Baumgardner's opponents? No doubt they're getting some ideas from Team Haney. They might get some monetary compensation here.
bumgardner holds 5 belts & tested positive for steroids just days before her fight with linardatou with no consequences whatsoever for her so yeah if i was the opponent i would be thinking of doing something im sure, its doesnt get much worse than that seems to me anyway, wbc cheerleading for her of course and then her home michigan commission doing nothing, all thats bad in the sport really in this case
