Comments Thread For: ?Devastated? Joseph Parker vows to clear his name

"I did not use performance enhancing drugs"

******** is classified as a "recreational " drug

"Have you ever used recreational drugs? I used to enjoy myself."

Semantics Joseph.

Good catch. There was other deceptive language used there too.

[SUBZER0ED]

Joe screwed up and got caught. Now, he's worried about his wife kicking his ass over it.

[Smash]

in order to find out how the coc-aine got into his body joe should consult the tea leaves

Remember this guy was mentioned in a drug case that he apparently helped exchange money he knew the drug dealers. Police tried to get a hold of him during the trial and wanted his phone but he was abroad. The positive test news wasn't that surprising probably has people around him that do it Joe Blow

Does that mean, when you reflect, that you can see a way that it could’ve happened accidentally?


Yeah, you start questioning everything. You start questioning “Why did I have that cup of tea?”

LOL

is this up there with amir khans i got my positive test from a handshake?

cup of tea lol, ban the tea from now on

There's coca leaf tea - widely available in Andean countries, not at all illegal - not sure if its on Vada's list though - supposed to help with dealing with high altitude upsets.

Have you ever taken recreational drugs?


In the past I’ve enjoyed myself. I wouldn’t say “recreational drugs”, but I went out and had a few beers and that. That’s the old me

LMAO

if thats not a YES then i dont know what is

its nowhere near as bad as peds tho to be fair, hes actually only harming himself in the ring not boosting himself, the ban for coke & weed should be less than for peds, oh wait the ban for peds is now ZERO in part thanks to the wbc and their cronies and whatever commission happens to be involved as well

isn't alcohol a recreational drug?

[Nash out]

Parker said he'd leave it all on the line against Wardley. I guess he was lying. Nash out - His Majesty

Well, I did not have "nose candy" and "Joseph Parker" both being called on my boxing bingo card, but someone else is halfway to the big winnings on the four corners game.

However, I did have "Spiked hot tea" on mine, so I am not totally out of the game.

i think most people distinguish between beer & illegal drugs, ive never heard that point of view put that way before i dont think, bit sus to me

Do you mean 'deceptive language' as in Joe Parker gave his best honest answers to straight questions? You must never have heard a politician talk. Give a guy on his knees a break.
