Comments Thread For: Hearn Wants More Info About Atypical Findings In Beterbiev's VADA Tests; Fight With Smith Will Go On

[James Hunt]

What made VADA (or the testing lab, whoever it was) decide that increased levels of GHG & TSTR were "atypical" and not "adverse"?
In other words, why did they decide to do additional testing (ofc, at a later date) and not immediately (after one test) deem it as an "adverse" finding, like they do in other cases?

Eddie playing wrong games here. I am now betting for Beterbiev to win by KO rd 5

Lmao this is simply nothing more than MIND games being played by Eddie to get inside Beterbiev's head and unsettle him before the fight and give Smith some type of 'edge'. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until the LAST minute to bring this crap up. However, all he's going to do is make things worse for his fighter who Beterbiev will take his frustrations out on.

Yeah, my wife plays games and says… we need a new washer and dryer

fix it, the stuff we have!

a tech comes in and says I can fix it but new stuff is better!

[thack]

Hearn is right it's either one or the other , the other being failed , ie Benn

Well said, if a gun was held to my head I’d say shoot me!

chit happens in …. sometimes it(chit inspires) other time I cause chit to happen… regretting it later

Now that’s what I call a lot of chit

Wouldn't this have happened many times before if it was just a matter of being tested after a grueling workout?

I don't know, I am not an expert on body chemistry; just the very basic stuff you learn in middle/high school. I've read that the levels can be "atypically" higher after grueling exercise the older you get. Point is, no actual chemical was found in testing, just the stuff the body produces naturally, and only (again) atypical, not adverse. And knowing Hearn, it was probably a point or two beyond the normal range.

All we can do is wait and see. But bet your bottom dollar Beterbiev will be under intense scrutiny going forward.
