PEDs should be dealt with harshly the problem is a lot of the commissions and stuff deal with certain drugs and "in/out of competition" differently and that allows people to take advantage in certain states/countries etc.

We need a universal system and with that uniformity bans and punishments would be clear and concise for all involved.

It's quite shocking that he's gone from fighting Whyte and AJ to fighting on thursdays.

Who ever is running his career they've done an awful job with this kid it seemed like he was on the ascendancy...

I agree. They only target fighters who are relatively obscure and unknown in the boxing industry; With no fanfare or a loyal following for popping dirty for PEDS.

As long as a fighter can create enough buzz, bring in new fans to the sport, put meat in the seats, generate a lot of revenue at both the box office and on Pay-per-view.

Then the system is very unlikely to change because it would hurt the boxing industry. They will just continue to look the other way like they tried to do with Ryan Garcia.

However, had it not been for a whistle blower inside of VADA leaking information to the press about Garcia's popping dirty for doping; Then Ryan would have gotten away with it too.

It's boxing, not athletics or a properly regulated sport. If it makes dollars, it makes sense, and that's the way it will stay unfortunately.

Track and field is handing out 4-year suspensions no problem. Some athletes suspended up to 11 years. Should be the same in boxing.

I can't see anything changing until the providers and facilitators are held responsible too. That isnt happening. A guy will say he ate 2000 eggs and wild boar nuts before he gives up Doc.

Well no one in the entire sport has said they've eat "boar nuts" even if they did it is actually a valid "excuse" for increased nandrolone levels, hence why similar "excuses" have been used in football (soccer) the Olympics and various other sports going back to the 90s.

Because Wild boars do produce nandrolone naturally and it is in the meat but more concentrated in the organs and testicles.

But the testicles are literally negligible amounts higher, if we were to score testes a 10 then an organ would be a 9.7 and general meat would be a 6-7.

And since you seem to be highlighting I presume "Fury(s)" and "Benn" steak and kidney pie is common as well as liver and onion and multitude of other organ related meals in the UK.

It's illegal to "treat" hens with Clomid in the UK and most of Europe also the UK has extremely tight regulations when it comes to eggs due to the 88 salmonella crisis...

You only need to eat two eggs from a hen that's been treated with Zuclomiphene to have an adverse analytical finding FYI.

Drug cheats who put boxers lives at risk should be given zero tolerance , if you don't know what is in your body or why it got there then it's you at fault ...no one else !

So nobody cheated? The eggs are tainted, the meat is tainted, the tea is tainted. All of that is possible, but not a drug dealer?
