Comments Thread For: Robert Helenius Tests Positive For Banned Substance in VADA Test

This the fella who was giving it socks about others juicing and being lynched in Finland!!

Failed tests are now out of control, a clear message needs to be sent if caught failing a test a lifetime ban is the punishment. Sadly it's going to take a death in the ring and for boxers, promoters and controlling bodies to be sued for drastic steps to happen.

If they don't do something it's going to give organisations who want to ban the sport more ammunition as boxing doesn't have their house in order.

Glad these positives are coming out.

With very little of any real, wide ranging consequences being done about them.

AJ is blatantly on PEDs as well but likely has a the****utic exemption for them. whyte knew this so probably used substances to level the playing field. I doubt Helenius used PEDs specifically for the AJ fight, as someone else alluded to he probably got the call for the fight mid cycle but was never gonna turn down over $2million purse at his age and stage of career.

What PEDs are TUE's allowed for under VADA testing?

So AJ you can beat a dirty MF’er! This should give you motivation to be ko’ed again.

And as usual a ****** comment from a dumb fugh
You’d figure a guy who boxed before would have more respect for the sport but doesn't seem to be the case
Heads up everyone , here comes his fourth grade education response

With all the failed drug cheats it’s only a matter of time until the unfortunate happens in this already brutal and dangerous sport .The only way is a life time ban when a cheat is caught hands down but in order to do this there needs to be more transparency and promoters must also be banned if they step out of line trying to skirt around the rules and try to get banned fighter's on elsewhere to suit their greed

Knew when I went into the thread the focus would be why isn’t Joshua getting caught as if it’s his fault others take peds ? Meanwhile the guys who actually are on them like Fury who cycles because he’s genetically obese and a few others where the Klitchko fight shouldn’t have e en counted gets a pass ?

Joshua is the most tested boxer in the world maybe even in history but yes let’s blame Joshua and Hearn who obviously tampered with the tests and was let into the lab via his secret tunnel entrance ,that was a joke as boxing scene posters have a hard time with reality from fantasy . Lol

Don't mind those envious haters.

so Bud is juicing?

All we know is that SNAC was created by someone who made a career out of not failing PED tests.

Drug tests aren't exposing those who use stuff, they're exposing those who can't hide them well/cant afford to.

There's no even playing field here, they should get rid of drug tests.

Exactly, Tonyu. Boxing isn’t track and field. It’s a combat sport. Either go all-in for zero tolerance, or quit testing and let the drug cheaters have it. I don’t see any reasonable middle ground.

When elite fighters are going 12-24 months between bouts anyway, a one or two year ban is meaningless.
