Comments Thread For: Et Tu, Bute? Former Champ in Hot Water After Failing Drug Test

[Cinci Champ]

THIS is a situation where a guy should get banned. Ostarine is actually a PED - a legit PED - unlike Meldonium.

how is meldonium not a ped? most ped are used to help training which is what its used for. its helps u train way harder for way longer of course its a ped.

SARM's are great. If you're going to cheat at least get caught using the best stuff.

A 0.07 detect is not enhancing anyone's performance. Period.

Even if it was full detect, having more ability to breathe does not enhance performance. Stamina don't mean a damn if you have no power and no defense. Ask James Kirkland.

A PED is something that makes you stronger, faster, more physically durable and/or more accurate than your opponent. Period.

why didn't he just flush his system with iv's and then get an exemption for the iv's? some people don't know how to cheat. the blueprint is right there and they choose to be ******. then again its vada not lolsada

I see what you're getting at, but where you make your mistake is in assuming that the same tactics would be serviceable to all boxers across the board. Au contraire, mon frère. It's only, shall we say...especially lucrative fighters who are permitted to do such things under the watchful eye of USADA. Or, of course, it also helps to be an especially favored Haymon fighter, which we know Bute would not be, having just scored a draw with a TMT-affiliated champion. Oh no no. But of course VADA did the testing anyways, so this is all conjecture. But what we can, indubitably, state as fact already is this: the sport of boxing is idiotic.

Hate to interrupt your mindless rant but I don't believe VADA was involved. Bute was caught by commission testing.
