Comments Thread For: Lucas Browne Fails Drug Test, Title Victory Now in Doubt

So, despite being a pro athlete, sticking to a diet, and training almost everyday, you have to be juicing if you have muscles?

Lmao! You guys are pathetic.

You can tell that people who assume that anyone who is in shape, and oddly a pro athlete(!) who's in shape must be juicing, don't know much about working out.

Reading the statement from his promoter, they also seem to believe there has been tampering.

"We believe Lucas Browne to be a clean athlete who arrived in Chechnya a clean athlete. We are therefore conducting our own further investigation and cannot comment further at this time."

Problem is, if there has been tampering, how do you prove that? Browne could be about to be cheated out of a title and his reputation.

Deontay Wilder should seriously consider pulling out of that Povetkin fight. I wouldn't be fighting over there.

I'm not crazy about Wilder, but TBH, I can't for the life of me understand how the champ's people failed to win that purse bid. If I'm Wilder, somebody's ass would be fired for that!

I think steroids, doping and PED's are far more rampant than Joe Public believes.

I'm tired of seeing fighters piss hot.

I'm tired of seeing fighters piss hot and deny it when they know they screwed up.

I'm tired of seeing fighters piss hot even after being caught previously.

I have very little faith and trust in anything that comes out of a PR-script - denials especially.

I don't particularly like Lucas Browne.

But my gut says something isn't right here. Russia is a corrupt mess (well, more so than the corrupt messes everywhere else, US included). The entire Olympic program has been derailed by widespread cheating. Whistleblowers across all sectors disappear at the click of a finger.

Tainting a foreign fighters tests? The water he drinks? The food he eats? Absolutely possible. In a country where someone who knows too much gets taken out on the orders of the President, and in a country that's rotten to the core by doping - sabotaging a foreign athlete would be small fry.

Roids exists since the 1930's, you ignorant! Roids were created for the first time in 1931. In the late 30's and early 40's you can already see the first bodybuilders that started to use them, such as Steve Reeves. The roids back then weren't as perfect as they are now, they were basic testosterone but they were just as efective as today, with a bit more side effects. Now that I've educated you, you can go **** yourself.

All the men in my family were weightlifters and bodybuilders all those years ago, so yeah I'm aware of what you're talking about. Roids weren't used much though in boxing. Yes, SOME, but not much. So now that you're educated I'd say go fek yourself, but instead I'll just say grow the fek up.

The problem with failing for Clen is that we don't know why it was used, if it was directly used. It's either to help breathing or to cut (as a side "benefit"). It doesn't bulk.

Looking at Browne I don't see much cut going on. He doesn't have a juicer build. He looks like a regular workout guy. Unlike, say, Eubank Jr. That build I'm skeptical of. He's more cut than his dad was.

The other issue is diet. If he ate imported meat it might have been contaminated. Clen only lasts in the system for 48 hours unless you're cycling, so I wonder if he ate something the day before the fight.

You can also tell that anyone who thinks guys like Joshua are clean know even less.

This whole case is very messy.
Not many facts besides a positive a sample.
I'm open to sabotage scenario but also sceptical given some of the sound bites coming from Browne.
I've followed him for awhile and is definitely in the best shape I've seen him in. He has also lost fat in my opinion.
So I really don't know where I stand on this...
