    A famous boxer was banned for failed drugs tests in two separate countries and was still allowed to fight.
    Yes it's about Price. And since he's pretty much irrelevant now, people won't care.

      In the UK its because he initiated legal action which presumably meant the BBBofC couldnt talk about it publicly, wouldnt be surprised if its the same in Australia.

      Pulev, Solis x2 and Takam all stepped into the ring to fight a guy who had already failed a drugs test (two in Solis and Takams case). None of them knew anything about it. Thats insane to me.

            That defeat derailed Price's entire career and made Frank Maloney have a complete mental breakdown and become a woman.

              Its about a top 10 heavyweight failing two drugs tests while still continuing to fight and make money in the sport. Its about the fact that 3 fighters were unknowingly fighting a guy who was currently banned in other countries for drug offences.

              But no. 'Herp de derp OP is frum da UK so must b al abowt Price'

                Yeah. Why the hell doesn't the BBBofC make it public? Now we can all speculate whether other known cheaters is fighting on.

                    I didn't say it wasn't outrageous, but that people won't care at this point.
                    At least it will serve his next opponent.

                      At the very least information should have been shared between commissions so that fair decisions could be made about whether to give him a licence

                      Really highlights how disjointed and unorganised the sport is
