Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury To Take On UKAD Over Drug Test Results

[kafkod]

Pathetic! relying on conspiracy theories you guys are a sad bunch of imbeciles...in this same thread you criticized others for lack of critical thinking yet you ignore the facts right in front of you. Reptilians are after Tyson!!!!

Haven't you got a job to do in the Lara/Golovkin thread?

Fury is saying that, at the time, he was told the most likely explanation for the positive test was contamination of a dietary supplement, and there was no threat of a charge being made against him.

So have UKAD charged him with something now? And if they have, why the heck did they wait for over a year before doing it? That's crazy. If I was Wlad Klitschko, I'd be thinking of suing them myself!

And btw, I've never heard of any athlete being charged with PED abuse on the basis of one positive sample, when the second and third tests came up clean.

What the hell are you reading?

Fury’s lawyers have lodged legal papers with the High Court demanding that the anti-doping authority explain why he was charged with a doping violation.

What the hell is actually going on here?

Fury has tested positive, he's appealing the outcome. If he never tested positive UKAD would have confirmed he was never under investigation, instead they stated whilst cases in the appeal stage are unresolved no comment will be made.

Matt Christie confirmed Fury tested positive also, through subsequent calls to BBBoC.

Thinking back to the Hammer fight Team Fury seemed pretty intent on facing Hammer in Febuary and facing Wlad later in the year, makes you wonder did they need more time to cycle in the event they knew testing would be more stringent against Klitschko, he likely was clean for that fight.

You're wasting your time.

Guilty or not, it's a joke that someone can test positive and fight on for another 15 months before it comes to light. It's actually dangerous.

As to the timing of the Klitschko fight, I think that had to do with the timing of the sanctioning body forcing the fight. Let's not forget Klitschko was the champ and invariably refused to fight a mandatory unless he was forced to, Fury couldn't do the picking and choosing.

You're right I agree. A cheat is a scumbag IMO, in this case it is no surprise, gypsies are dishonest by nature. I've never had a positive experience with one.

Team Fury's official statement someone please translate.

Because 18 months ago, when his second sample and a follow up blood test both came back clean, he was told the flagged sample could have been caused by contamination and no action was being taken against him.

That is my reading of the article. His A sample was positive for nandrolone, however the B sample was clean so there was no doping violation.

Exactly. The B sample was negative, as was a blood test. If UKAD had solid evidence they would've nailed him.

Suing to what end here? To explain why they are doing an investigation? I think that will come out in the investigation. IMO, this only makes it look worse for him. Lawyers sometimes strategize preemptive strikes when they know they're dealing with some heavy shyt.

Another thing, the language here implies that he was actually charged with a doping violation. I previously thought that they were simply investigating the reason for trace amounts to determine if there was a violation.
Interesting. Hope it gets resolved asap.

Defamation/libel is a start.

Defamation/libel is a start.

The article says nothing about that. We know what he is suing for. It says it's to "explain why he was charged". Why he would have to do that is the question. It seems most likely that one would do that to speed up the process. Perhaps they're worried about having money invested in this rematch and they fear it may get canceled if a doping charge pops up. Maybe they want to get this in the open and out of the way before proceeding, which is respectable.
