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

[bojangles1987]

It doesn't say what he tested positive for. I'd bet on recreational drugs way before performance enhancing drugs.

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............

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.

you have the caught and the uncaught in boxing

but I will wait and see what exactly he tested positive for, if it is Weed the it really don't matter, but if it is PEDS then Tarvers has some explaining to do

NOBODY IS CLEAN IMO unless they are taking some type of EXTRA TESTING and requires FULL RANDOM DRUG TESTING!

I also think that some fighters are being protected, their Promotion and Managers probably have the connections to know when testing is coming for their fighters so they are well prepared to CHEAT THE TEST...so even if fighters are passing your STANDARD DRUG TEST you could still question them

all 3 american fighters...american athletes have an awesome track record of competing clean in all sports...lol! the funny thing is mayweather has been pushing for tests for years & so many say he is just whining or ducking...lol!

Luckily he didn't kill Kayode in the ring, these commissions think they're doing a great job, catch the people cheating before the fight and that's how you clean up this dirty a$$ sport.

Larry Olabamiwo failed a drug test too this week.

Why would they do it knowing they're subject to testing? Isn't it obvious?
Because they felt they could get away with it/it would be out of their systems in time but of course you have all these athletes looking for an edge that don't have a fcuking clue what they're injecting. They have zero clue about PCT, masking or anything else.

Only a real fcuking idiot would use a substance such as Deca which can stay in your system for aslong as 18 months, not just that but carries a shed load of side effects.

When you have athletes working alongside the likes of Conte & Patrick Arnold its pretty obvious they have no intentions of being anything other than a labrat.

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

All of their opponents are from GBP? and if the GB fighter doesn't win/look good doing it, Oscar goes and taints the Post Fight Test?

You're right. When Josesito Lopez KO's Ortiz tomorrow, he will come up dirty so they can still go through with the Canelo fight.

[any craic lad?]

Wow lost out on a 120 beans becuase off this.Hopefully Tarver wasnt roiding

boxers are not known for being intelligent except a few here or there. the klitschko's are doctors in sports medicine so i'm sure they can screen PEDS pretty easily...

A little bit off topic, but that guy works out at my gym. I see him downtown all the time also.

I haven't had the nerve to ask him about the Conte situation lol He's pretty quiet and likes to keep to himself.

He's a pretty big dude also. Prob about 15-20lbs bigger than me.
