So Beterbiev tested for high levels of HGH and testosterone

[Cypocryphy]

Trust me, promoters would be the last to leak such horrible news, especially only days leading to the fight. They'd rather not be informed by it, turn a blind eye. World would go crashing down with the news of the fight getting canceled. Too much money and time have already been invested.

What horrible news? Are we living in the twilight dimension? Where "Up" is "Down"? "Left" is "Right"? "Forward" is "Backward"? Where when it's daytime it's actually nighttime? What horrible news? They said he tested negative. What threat is there for the fight being canceled? Eddie is saying this crap for his own personal gain and motives. That's it. No fight has ever been canceled because a fighter tested negative.

Sometimes this forum is too much.

massive cope going on in this thread.

Your boy is a fraud and will be knocked tf out in his next fight.

1. this is a desperate attempt by hearns and Callum's team to get in his head, dropping this the day before the fight, when he didnt even fail the test. the test has pass/fail criteria and he passed
2. hes almost 40 of course he is on something
3. low test is also a sign of PED use, so what if its high if its still a passing test
4. all elite athletes are on PEDs so they should just stop testing

Russians have a LONG history of doping. Can't even compete in the Olympics as a country any more because they're such blatant cheats, and they're still doing it anyways.

Except the dude has lived in Canada for past 10 years or so and a Canadian citizen.

Russians were doping just like everyone else... but of course, the USA is not going to get in trouble or called over it either.

"These guys" lmfao shut up. African American fighters are the biggest ped cheats in boxing.

Why are you turning this into a race issue you goofy looking fuck? I was referring to all athletes in general and boxers in particular you ****** dumb ass.

[Pac=Duran]

No, we absolutely aren't splitting hairs. Some is not the same as all. The facts are that the Russians were found to be doping to the point that even the burden of proof for the corrupt IOC was met. The facts are that no other country in history has done that.

I don't doubt that there are a lot of athletes who have doped at least once. But you're making an unsubstantiated (and in fact demonstrably false on the evidence) assertion to jump from that SOME to the ALL. That's a textbook logical fallacy.

You're also committing a textbook fallacy trying to pretend to minimize the argument, then backing up your counter with a false assertion. I believe that many boxers use PEDs to some extent, but the burden of proof for ALL is high to the point that if there's even ONE that is not on PEDS your argument is literally and factually untrue. Such as Nonito Donaire.

For that matter, based on the evidence here, I really doubt that Beterbiev is doping.

But that doesn't make it untrue that the Russians have taken doping to another level.

Every single major American champion/star in boxing was found to be doping or has the su****ion of doping. Name one and they were found to be using. Ward, RJJ, Evander, Tyson, Floyd, Shane Mosley, etc etc

[HeadShots]

Americans are the biggest dopers

Russians are second

[MulaKO]

Mma fighter’s are even bigger dopers fugh head

[Phacosion]

When athletes push themselves to the limits, it can be tempting to look for any edge they can get. It makes you wonder about their pressure to perform and whether it’s worth it in the long run. Being at the top of the sport is no small feat, and the competition is fierce. But at the same time, using substances like that can tarnish a career. I hope he can get through this and find a way to compete fairly. It just goes to show that even the best can make mistakes.

I saw that news too! It’s always interesting when high-profile athletes get tested for substances like HGH and testosterone. There’s a lot of debate on what’s "natural" vs. what’s enhanced. I’ve been doing some research myself into performance enhancers and came across www.deuschem.com, a medical distributor that specializes in performance-enhancing products.

I ordered from them once for a supplement I was curious about, and they were really transparent about the quality and sourcing. It was helpful knowing I was getting something that was actually tested and legit. Of course, anything involving these substances should be approached carefully and responsibly.
