How did Alycia Baumgardner get off scot free?

[Superheavyweight]

But then what does all the negative tests prove?

But then what does all the negative tests prove?

It proves that they don’t have PEDs in their system to a detectable level at the time the test was taken.

That’s not to say aren’t being used or have been used, just that they aren’t currently detectable.

With Canelo and Conor Benn we don't know if they're lying or their food was contaminated..


This blows people's minds because they either in camp guilty till proven innocent or innocent till proven guilty.. and the agnostic view challenges their sphere.


Each case is different..

Both guys blamed their positive test on contamination.

Both failed two tests for trace amounts which are consistent with contamination .

Could both instances be a case of contamination? Sure, that’s very possible.

Is there a way of knowing that demonstrably? No.

Almost every instance of a fighter, or athlete, failing a drug test is for a trace amount which are consistent with contamination. There is a reason for that.

Ryan Garcia should get fined and suspended.

But how did Baumgardner’s failed PED test just get slipped under the rug with no punishment for her at all?

Her "inactivity" is basically her suspension. It's just informal.

[Superheavyweight]

Right but no one is denying she had PEDs in her system..


It's if it was contaminated etc.. i.e. she took it by accident.


In space and time.. granted in trace amounts.


Alycia somewhat proved this.. with a negative hair test.

[Superheavyweight]

By definition a negative test holds the same weight as a positive test.. in space and time.


Or the oxymoron of the test happening in so called the now.. and in the future.


Otherwise you're saying an oxymoron.. by definition not every fighter is on PEDs.. a negative test is an indicator of that.. otherwise it's an oxymoron.

I don’t think you’re grasping it very well.

A positive tests proves the person had PED’s in their system. Knowing or unknowingly.

A negative test proves that that don’t have a detectable amount of PEDs in their system. But it doesn’t prove they aren’t using PEDs, we just don’t know if they are or aren’t. We have no reason to assume they do, or at least know that they have them in their system, if they’re negative.

So it’s quite the polar opposite. One holds quite a lot of weight, the other doesn’t.

It’s not an oxymoron, it’s no where close to the definition of that word.

She actually didn’t prove anything, as previously explained just one page ago.

she keeps her titles & can fight twice this year if she wants, thats some suspension right there

[LG Motel 22]

Because she's learnt to shut up about it and not keep it in the headlines unlike the juvenile Garcia and Benn.
