And athletic commissions don't have to respect the ban, so there is still a slim chance that he can fight in the USA.

Damn & he still got mollywhopped.

Its nothing to a boss.

He had no intentions to fight in the US anyways.

Some people just dont know when to retire, I blame Morales for DG lil fame.

Why did USADA or GBP not stop the fight from happening? Its kinda like the Commission tests where a decision comes after the fight.

Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted springs to mind

Cause they dont have to, USADA has no jurisdiction over the boxing commission and USADA is employed by the Promoter in this case it was GBP, So a Failed test has no real ramification in the boxing world other then tainting a fighters name.
