Comments Thread For: Kenny Anderson Hit With a Two Year Doping Ban

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The UKAD has confirmed that Edinburgh’s Kenny Anderson, 18-1 (13), was hit with a two-year ban after a positive test for amphetamine following last year’s British Super-middleweight title win over Robin Reid. Anderson stopped the former world titlist in the fifth round last October, but was stripped of the belt earlier this year before appealing against the UKAD’s findings. The UKAD could not reveal the details of the ban prior to today as Anderson was going through the appeal process. [Click Here To Read More]

Damn. I knew something FISHY was going on with Kenny's absence. Who ****es a cup of coffee with amphetamines? Sounds very dubious to me...

Seems harsh for amphetamine. Unless he has a history if testing dirty?

Meanwhile we have people like Bey with testosterone levels off the charts and get a slap on the wrist.

Seems harsh - i would hope they would rather support him and help him get rid of the habit than take his livelihood away.

Two years? Yet Lamont Peterson is still the IBF Junior Welterweight Champion

Bit harsh a £15,000 fine and 2 year ban for a recreational drug considering Tarver was payed nearly $1.1 million against Kayode and was only fined $2,500 and a 1 year ban for testing positive for a banned steroid. It's weird how the fines and bans vary when some are worse than others.

UKAD don't **** about. One of the strictest in the world from what ive seen

UKAD is the UK Anti-Doping agency, their equivalent of USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency). When these agencies give sanctions, it's usually a hard one. A 2-year ban is not unusual from these agencies.

Peterson is a different because he was caught through VADA, who doesn't recommend or give sanctions to athletes caught positive. They leave it up to the Commissions to decide the penalty. When that happens, usually the penalty will either be non-existent or will be weak, or miraculously average. Bey was caught through NSAC, soooo...

Seems harsh, because everyone else gets off easy.

We've had 3 fighters go into a coma I'm the last month or so, and were slapping fighters on the wrist for taking PEDs. its just not right.
