The Sam Soliman Drug Saga. What Happened?

[taansend]

Does anyone actually KNOW what happened?

I mean really know - not just make an assumption based on whether you like him or not.

I've been watching him - and Sturm - for over a decade & never got the opinion that either was a drug cheat but I do realise that the game nowadays has much more PED type use than we think.

But something just seemed a little shady about this. And he was found positive in Germany but not in the USA. Have I got this right?

Can anybody shed any light?

Thanks.

As I understand it, SS tested positive for a substance illegal by the german federation and WADA but not the IBF. SS admitted to have taken said substance.

The B-sample was tested by a lab in the US that ONLY tested for substances banned by the IBF and that ensured a negative.

I'm just glad Daniel Geale doesn't have to waste precious time fighting this guy who clearly isn't in his league.
