Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders Fails PED Test; Andrade Fight In Jeopardy

[bluebeam]

I honestly believe Andrade's team will still take the fight. I mean, it's still a month away and WTF has Andrade done his whole career, besides beg for big fights and price himself out due to bad management? Squat.

Now, if BJS tested positive a week or two before the fight, then I'd say, cancel it already. Again, what other opportunity does Andrade have at this point?

We can name guys he could fight, but judging by Andrade's history, something will go wrong and we won't see him fight again for another year or something crazy like that.

I'm not sure if BJS will be ordered to pay Andrade's team a fine (if the fight goes on), but if he does, that's more money in Andrade's pockets along with a title, which Saunders will more than likely have to relinquish.

Take the fight, Team Andrade. Call the shots after you win.

if you fail a drug test. you dont get the job.

saunders is out, so its next man up. Andrade has a promoter with connections now. He will still fight for the wbo strap.

Andrade vs charlo sounds even better to me

Lets see saunders prove himself clean like canelo did. Submit to a hair follicle test, and enroll in vada 365.

More strange things coming out, as per UK rules the drug is only banned 'in competition', the day of the fight.

This just goes to show the whole anti-drug thing is BS. These ****ers are going to the line with drugs and supplements and their doctors know everything that is legal.... total joke if this is true.

Billy Joe Saunders situation unclear. @RonLewisTimes reporting he is unlikely to be punished as Oxilofrine is only banned 'in-competition' (on the day of the fight, per UK rules). Eddie Hearn has told @SteveUCNLive a decision will be made by the WBO, BBBofC & US state commission.

Maybe the reason he threw the chicken at Wilder. PED muscles. Roid rage..

[aboutfkntime]

it looks like the fight will proceed

Andrade should make Saunders agree to additional testing

[Lopez_Boxing]

Oh bjs at it again. Calm down guys he’s just trolling as usually.

Hair follicle and vada 365 would be fair enough I'd say

[REYESdelBOXEO]

CANELO vs. Andrade for The WBO BELT!

Some info on the drug https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...ell-oxilofrine

Thanks for the link.

"Some firms use oxilofrine, in the form of synephrine, in so-called sports nutritional supplements as it is thought to allow people to burn fat faster and lose weight. Synephrine is a natural component of Citrus aurantium, otherwise known as bitter orange, but it can also be synthesised or extracted from plant sources."

"Oxilofrine is found in its anti-doping code in "stimulants: section S6" in section "b: specified stimulants". Wada states: "A specified substance is a substance which allows, under defined conditions, for a greater reduction of a two-year sanction when an athlete tests positive for that particular substance."

However, there is a greater likelihood that these substances could be susceptible to a credible non-doping explanation."


The fight may not be off. Maybe BJS can use the "tainted orange" excuse.
