Comments Thread For: Tarver Knew of Failed Test, B Sample Was Also Positive

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For the second time in his career, 46-year old Antonio Tarver is forced to battle outside the ring in order to clear his name. It didn’t work out well the first time around, nor does a happy ending appear to be within reach upon reports of once again testing positive for a banned substance.

Sports Illustrated senior writer Chris Mannix was the first to report the news of Tarver – a former light heavyweight champion - having tested positive for synthetic testosterone, coming from samples produced prior to his 12-round draw versus Steve Cunningham in August.

You get busted, banned for life...end of story and are on the hook personally for any lawsuits that pop up from it. Take away all incentive to cheat period and there is no point in cheating anymore. I still think if you fight on network tv there is no reason to not do full on thorough testing, it's in the networks best interest to make sure they aren't supporting doping. If anyone can force boxers to test its network money.

That's twice. Ban him for good. Fine him a hefty fine and give Cunningham that W

Worst then Tarver getting busted is how PBC refuses to address it. Dan Rafael snapped and is going in hard at PBC on twitter

I'm keeping it real w/ premier boxing. When 1 of your big names fails PED test you cant hide. Same when ur kid is comatose after your fight.

Dan Rafael @danrafaelespn
The folks at premier boxing won't even say 'no comment.' Just radio silence. Won't answer questions on big issues or small. Appalling.

Dan Rafael @danrafaelespn
No accountability from premier boxing. Won't answer questions about Tarver's failed test. Same with their fighter Prichard Colon in a coma.

Rafael forgot to mention the stripper who was almost killed by Quillin. That's three very serious situations without comment from PBC.

From the beginning top writers, outlets and people who cover the sport of boxing but we're critical of Haymon were denied press passes from PBC. This is done to control the message. You got a shady man who runs it and stays in hiding, so you got the banning of any outlet that asks too many questions about him. now you got big issues inside the ring coming down that they refuse to answer. But it's PBC free boxing right that's the answer for everything Haymon does from his fanboys.

Magic Man probably can't make this one disappear.

U know how it started. Floyd moved from HBO to Showtime. So Floyds groupies started to hate on HBO than Manny groupie started to hate on Showtime than Haymon whos connected with Floyd started PBC so the groupies hate on PBC too.

Im a Manny fan and dont really like Floyd but I got nothing against Showtime or HBO. PBC is giving us fight on the regular so as a boxing fan we should all be happy.
