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

[boxinghead530]

FU CK Tarver. He was never all that great anyways. His whole career was based on his one punch knockout of Roy. And truth be told that was the worst version of Roy at the point in Roys career.

SH IT even with Tarver all PEDed up he couldn't even manage to beat Cunningham who doesn't even belong in the heavyweight division.

Good bye Tarver don't let the door hit you in the ass.

ok wtf is PBC supposed to say about colon? we already know he suffered brain bleed and is in hospital, what more is there to say. tarver failed the test, what can PBC say about it? fat dan needs to calm down.

Every other major sport if things like this happen they at least take questions, release statements and address this. PBC has consistently refused to address any issues that come out about their product. The owner even refuses to give out press passes to outlets that ask to many questions about him or are critical about him. This is type of crap you see out of 3rd World countries that have dictators that control the media. And shyt goes down and the media isn't allowed to even report on it. It's not a good look.

Well how many Al Haymon guys have gotten busted for PED use?

Time to start erasing this guys victories, hit him with a hefty fine and ban him for life.

Stop letting cheating slide, send a message.

I'm not as confident as you. I suspect we'll see Tarver in the ring again. Late 40's are the new late 30's for pro boxers.

You may very well be right and he may make another run at it. Given his style, he doesn't particularly rely on his athleticism and, even at heavyweight, he's really still just looking for a big left hand.

However, as this would be his second positive test, I would suspect a heftier punishment to come down and one which may very well see him to the verge of beginning his 50's - as a second-time offender. And, again, he may lose his commentary position and though I am no Tarver fan in the ring, I do like him behind a mic.

Ban him for life is overkill, in the practical sense. 2 year suspension and he's done, he's an old whatever weight he is. Banning him for life as a moral lesson means a lot of guys are going to be out of work, for life.

Most of his fighters haven't gotten busted. Most fighters don't get busted period anyway.

Banning him for life is impossible. NJ can ban him for life, or 2 years, or whatever. But will NY do the same? Will Nevada do this too? California? Texas? Illinois? And therein lies the issue with pro boxing.

F****ed up knowing he was juiced when he messed up Roy Jones career. People like this should be looked up in jail and have the key thrown away.
Week people use steroids to get strong......
