Lucas Browne: I arrived in Chechnya a clean athlete

He should be stripped and his belt given to deontay or martin

First time I've read about a guy testing positive in boxing and immediately being like "Yeah... I'm not buying it."

Somethin's up with this.

Yea me too. I'm skeptical of any tests coming out of Russia

That says its a anabolic with immediate stimulant effects and used for asthma. I've never taken the stuff but that sure sounds like it would be handy in a boxing match...

Yeah I saw that. Still doesn't prove he didn't use anything in between him being tested and the fight. Just shows he was clean when he arrived to mother Russia

Exactly.

I'm not really buying into the "stitched up" defence tbh.

It would be interesting on seeing a polygraph result for Browne as to whether he has ever taken any banned PEDs. Have a look at photos of him from a couple of years back . . .

It's got a ton of side effects though. Makes your muscles cramp up due to excess production of lactic acid, being the main one.

I'm not having this. Normally I'm very sceptical when an athlete protests a failed test but this stinks. He asked for the testing prior to the fight why would you start cheating when you arrive in the country the fight is taking place in which has a fairly loose grip on rules and the law? Stitch up all the way I think
