Comments Thread For: Teper Drug Test Scandal Unearths Previous Cover Up

[petero]

Maybe the Germans know now that Klitschko is finished they can clean up the sport in their country? One thing for sure steroids and heavyweight boxing make many people rich. It took a NATURAL man of 6'9" to get the klit outta there, thank god justice finally arrived

German newsagency DPA reports that former EBU heavyweight champ Erkan Teper tested positive for forbidden substances twice – the first time was then winning the EU title in June 2014 and then when beating David Price in July 2015. Neither case have been made public until now and both fights where supervised by the German EBU member BDB.

BDB President Thomas Puetz tells DPA that Teper could get more than a year suspension.

As previously reported Teper could also face charges for possession of illegal substances.

Looked into the German news, not everything is complete and accurate in this news.

BDB president says that Erkan Teper was suspended for 6 months after his first positive test June 13 2014. Initially he got 9 months but confessed taking banned substances and got the suspension reduced.

For his second positive test after the Price fight he can get a maximum suspension of one year. The BDB wants to get a statement from Teper which they haven't got so far.

It's quite fishy how they do nothing for 5 months and are 'waiting for a statement' from Teper.
If he really was suspended why didn't they cange the outcome of his June 13 2014 fight? This is terrible.

The EBU actually has reacted and in their suspension list Teper is listed with a two year suspension:

Boxing doping needs a serious shake up, and central regulatory body in place. What other sport has drugs test as a contract negotiation, and not in every fight.
gone are the days of judges receiving brown envelopes stuffed with cash after the fight, but doping is as bad as its always been.
If athletes and footballers who are randomly tested year round are getting away with it, then what chance is there of catching fighters.

The thing with it is even if you have testing, who has the authority to do something to a boxer in the whole of the sport of boxing. Boxing is so fractured that you could get popped in one country and still get sanctioned in another.

Testing is great but without a mechanism for enforcement it is kind of pointless, plus with the nature of boxing if a guy gets busted before a fight it literally screws over every stakeholder including the other fighter who could be totally in the clear yet ends up having to pay his trainer and team while getting 0 currency for a fight that doesn't then occur. That is always why it is hard to see it getting fixed in a proper way.

if you're american, you're the last person to complain about other nation's athlete's taking peds.

and i say this as an american.

america has the most extensive history of athletes doping.
im proud of that distinction.

Denying ped use = denying the evolution, progress, and greatness of mankind.

If you are against ped use,

You are against the progress and greatness of mankind.

screw you and your momma.

No they dont. The USSR does. Or Russia whatever u wanna call it. But they all cheat. ALL OF THEM. U guys fighting over who does it more or less is kinda silly.

[deanrw]

I have to admit, your post physically made me sp!t up coffee as I was taking a drink LOL

[nacho daddy]

You and Pidgeons doing anything you can to hate on GGG

it is because he hates white people which is fine with me but at least admit it

[Fury4daWIN]

He said "The Americas." That includes central and South America as well.

Besides, GGG isn't Eastern European yet no one has mentioned that.

[_Maxi]

Their relatively recent ability to fight in the pro ranks is also pretty important...

This guy used steroids... you dumb ****



I guess he's from eastern europe...

Of course they are doping in europe. Just like they dope in the US.
