Tyson Fury under investigation for steroid use

[Redd Foxx]

The problems I have w/ the article are that the quotes don't relate directly to the subject and the evidence is presented as "experts said" and other vague terms.

The Daily Mirror is a rag. Not as big a rag as the S*n, but it's still raggy.
But hey, aren't they all. Broadsheets included.

Weird though as i've not seen it reported anywhere else bar the Mirror as up to yet.

Hearn was just asked about it at the Joshua post fight conference

Looks like a crap smear story, Fury has pissed off a lot of people with some of his comments.

Yep, and the headline says World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury denies steroids claim after traces found in sample but no quotes in the article from Fury. There's also this at the end of the article

Sophie Ashcroft of UK Anti-Doping said: “UK Anti-Doping does not discuss or disclose details of any cases until due legal process has been completed.”

So I can say Redd Foxx denies testing positive for steroids. When contacted about Redd Foxx test I was told UK Anti-Doping does not discuss or disclose details of any cases until due legal process has been completed.

Why was there no random testing for the Szpilka fight? Don't you think that looks su****ious?

First of all the article states that those statements where made within ten days approaching the fight -- secondly in the same article Wilder states he had blood drawn..but you rather take the claims of Spewka..nice try - apparantly you dont understand what RANDOM drug testing means. Deontay Wilder is the REAL HW champion of the world and should be embrassed for cleaning up the sport of boxing.

I don't belive this to be true for a second

A left wing tabloid trash paper reporting this a year after it supposedly happened.

Well in this case innocent until proven guilty. I do hope it's not true as fury seemed an honest man.

And didn't Tepers case or some other boxer had this same experience last year if I remember correctly? I think it was David Price as the bbobc reversed the 'KO' loss to Tepper since he was caught only after a year or so....another case is the fact that some fighters have been busted but they let the fights go on...as in the case of Morales vs. Garcia and Vargas vs. Salido....yeah I think that dirty Gypsy is suspect for sure.

I don't see why he'd lie or make a big deal out of it for nothing. And random testing ten days before a fight is a sham anyway. It won't catch shit if the fighter knows what they're doing. But then there's always post fight random testing. Not sure how that works exactly, but I'm sure you'll enlighten me.

The first rule of UK anti-doping is you don't talk about UK anti-doping.

Yea, and the sketchy thing about the about the Ashcroft quote is that they don't state that it's specifically in response to THIS. She could have said that at any given time. These quotes could all be strung from separate articles.

Reminds me of an interesting thing Mike Rowe wrote today; "Back in college, I had a professor named Dr. Vatz who taught a wonderful course called Rhetoric and Persuasion. I remember an exercise where we were instructed to take an article from the local paper, and without changing the underlying facts, rewrite it in such a way that left the reader with a completely different version of the truth. To this day, I think about that exercise whenever I come across an article whose sole purpose is to make people angry."
