Comments Thread For: NSAC Suspends Ogawa for Failed PED Test, Farmer Result in Doubt

So this Japanese guy cheated and still lost?

How to handle failures isn't always a cut and dry issue. First of all, the majority of top fighters are bending the rules if not flat out breaking them. Second, even if you catch them, there is often a plausible explanation. Hard to know if someone was deliberately cheating when there are so many tainted supplements, legitimate medical conditions that require (or benefit from) banned medications or methods.

The failed athletes usually lawyer up and force some sort of settlement as these governing bodies and athletic commissions usually can't afford extended litigation.

True, i have seen this many many times and its frustrating.

Who idea was it to put that fight on HBO anyway? The belt should be vacant Tank vs Farmer

I hope it's Tank vs. Farmer, for the vacant IBF title, live on Showtime!!!

still looked bad despite being on peds..give farmer his rematch or have him face gervonta davis for the vacant title
