Fighters who get a pass for doping

[Dr Rumack]

A thread for the guys who get virtually no shit from fans for having used PEDs.

I'll start:

Evander Holyfield
Shane Mosley
Tyson Fury

[Dr Rumack]

They Tyson Fury one is baffling.

The guy was popped for Nando, a much more powerful drug than that ostarine crap Povetkin was taking.

Yet Povetkin is a villain and Fury's doping is barely even discussed.

Fury was popped for nandro in February 2015, in a UKAD test. For some reason he was still allowed to fight Wlad in November of that year 'pending a UKAD hearing'.

UKAD did not issue the charging letter until June of 2016. The very same day the letter was issued, Fury allegedly injured his ankle in training and had to withdraw from the Klitschko fight.

UKAD then announced in August of 2016 that the athletes would have the right to an independent hearing in order to challenge the finding and the suspension.

Since then neither camp have said anything, but neither Fury is active. If the Furys had been cleared at that hearing, do you think they would have said nothing about it?

We know two things for sure:

(1) Fury was popped for nandro and a mandatory suspension was imposed, and

(2) he was offered a hearing to contest the suspension.

My take is that he was dirty, couldn't explain it, and is currently suspended.

Wasnt Gamboa heavily linked to a peds facility a few years ago?

Never here about that anymore.

Neither have I. The Furys tried to spin like they had been cleared when the provisional suspension had been lifted. But that's purely a procedural thing whereby the provisional suspension is removed pending the hearing, after which the full suspension is served if the fighter can't explain the test away. And how are they going to explain away nandrolone?

The fury situation is a complete mess. To think if it wasnt for a leak then we probably wouldnt have heard about this at all and its been, what, a year and a half?

Tony Thompson was a similar case.

Complete shambles from UKAD.

Thats the one.

I swear investigations like this bring way more results than testing. Catch one lab and you have multiple athletes accross a range of sports red handed.

Tests can be explained away, if your info is in the hands of a known ped supplier you are (or should be) ****ed
