So Browne and Wilder are the only two confirmed participants so far. The deadline is in August. Would be nice to have a list of fighters who have entered the program

Good on Browne for enrolling in VADA testing.

Damn near every boxer is on some type of ped. Why wouldn't they be? They know when testing begins and when something will be out of their system. Win and continue making over $1 million a fight or lose and go back to five figure paychecks. They are already getting hit in the head for a living, so I doubt too many are concerned with long-term effects of ped use. They are more worried about cte and Parkinson's then they are about ped side effects. In a business where a win or loss can be the difference of millions of dollars that is a pretty big incentive to cheat. Until year round, out of competition testing is required most boxers will do anything to help them win without getting caught.

Browne was innocent you have to feel for him. This is the best way to prove that more precautions should have been taken in Russia by his team. Here's to rebuilding and getting another title shot!

Browne is one of the few guys who tested positive that I feel are 100% innocent.

I believe his story, especially when he tested clean repeatedly prior to the fight and even the week of the fight when he first got to Russia.

Why would a heavyweight, already in great shape by all accounts, take a fat burner days before a fight?

What advantage would he gain?

The whole Chagaev fight was shady as fuck. If you watched the fight strange things happened too, like one or two rounds being magically shortened somehow and the bell ringing prior to 3 mins. And it was very clear the ref was reluctant to stop Chagaev from continuing. He basically had to be battered senselessly against the ropes without responding before it was waved off.

Chagaev wasn't supposed to lose that fight.
