Comments Thread For: UKAD: Thompson Failed Drug Test After David Price KO

Its also used as a masking agent to hide other PED use.

That's what I was alluding too, the only reason a Heavyweight would take a diuretic is to cover up something.

Ah fair mate, misunderstood ya

no respect for this guy now he's a chump. I know theres some drugs that can increase your red blood cell count and give you more energy, I guess its worth geting dehydrated over.

Feel for Price, his career and confidence were in tatters after this fight....and to think it was all due to Thompson being a dirty drugs cheat and drugged out his brain on PEDS. He deserves to be banned from boxing and the results should be changed to NC.

That's crazy that it went unreported so long. That shouldn't be allowed, appeal or not.

Its easy to overlook this story because it features a fat old bloke and a domestic level HW, but it really does highlight a huge hole in the current system.

You can test positive for a banned substance in one country, get banned in that country, initiate legal action to keep the commission from releasing info to the media and then **** off and fight all over the world without anyone knowing that you have been busted.

This is really hard to believe. I mean, we're not talking half a year even, which would be a long time. This is 2 years.

Exactly, I dont get it.

So TT initiated legal action claiming that he took the drugs for medical reasons, this was subsequently thrown out because he didnt produce any evidence... so did they need to wait two years to see if he would produce any evidence?

And also could the BBBofC not inform other commissions that all this was happening so they could (most likely) not give him a licence?

Is boxing really that disjointed that a PED ban can only be enforced one country at a time?

I quite liked Thompson, not now thought..another cheat.

It's ridiculous that the results have only just come out now. Hopefully the fight is ruled a NC.
