Comments Thread For: Tarver Positive for Banned Substance After Kayode Bout

[THE REED]

Love how they catch all these guys AFTER the fight, after theyve been in the ring facing someone with an unfair advantage.

[TaurusJ27]

This was a shock to hear.

[ronnie_N.]

petersen, berto and now tarver? anyone see the pattern? lol

1. all are americans
2. 2 of those are against roach's fighters

there is a 67% chance that an american roided fighter will fight one of roach's fighters???

damn,damn,damn

He landed four right hands on Gatti like that ? Wow !

I remember the fight being a clinic but damn

That's what is so annoying about the article. It's long, and babbles on and on but doesn't mention anything about what the substance was. Clearly, the author didn't know. It would be nice if he said "Tarver tested positive for a banned substance that is unknown at this time" instead of babbling on about Berto, Chavez Jr. and Peterson.

thats the missing link.............

A banned substance can mean anything, weed. or in tarvers case, coke.

I didn't see anything stating what he actually tested positive for............

too soon, it could have been Viagra or something

Why do these articles always leave the public hanging....


##### X FIGHTER GETS CAUGHT WITH BANNED SUBSTANCE ##### GET IN HERE AND READ ALL ABOUT IT BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA SAY WHICH ONE IT WAS !!!

Was it weed or was it steroids?

I don't know what all the confusion is about...it's right there in the 5th paragraph...he tested positive for an anabolic steroid...Drostanolone. It's kind of an unusual choice for a boxer to use...but whatever.

From Wikipedia...

Drostanolone (INN; also known as dromostanolone or Drolban), marketed as Masteron, is an anabolic steroid. Drostanolone is a part of the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) family. Its main medical uses include lowering cholesterol levels and as an antineoplastic agent in the treatment of some cancers. It is most commonly marketed as the ester drostanolone propionate (trade name Masteron). Drostanolone has been used for bodybuilding, though its high cost has made it used mainly in "cutting cycles."

It wasn't there in the original article.

BigPOPPAPUMP later posted it.

I wonder if they'll question his win over green and I wonder if they'll start questioning his wins over jones?

Not saying I am because he got caught this time doesnt mean he was for the rest of it

[jaded]

It's not that more athletes are using steroids...it's that more athletes are getting caught now.

[Bacatit]

Tarver? That shocks me. Just never seemed the type. Then again, neither did Peterson or Berto.

Think about it, one day you beat the Roy "Muthaphukin" Jones and next thing you know Bernard "Ex" Hopkins is moppin you all over the ring....I could see it.

Quoted for truth.
