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

[Eff Pandas]

Oxilofrine is a stimulant drug and is an amphetamine chemically related to ephedrine and to synephrine. Oxilofrine is currently a WADA prohibited substance when used in competition. It is an ingredient found in some dietary supplements.

guess what the excuse will be guys?

Interesting.

What type of sh^t is this in exactly...anyone know?

Always hearing of new sh^t people are getting popped for. Sh^t is like some weird college class trying to get up to speed on it.

Where you getting these fights, wil be Andrade vs Walter Kautondokwa, live on DAZN, lol

Definitely sucks for DAZN, but I'm sure they know it happens. Realllllllly sucks for Andrade. This was gonna be his biggest fight & prove he can compete with the biggest names in the division or not.

A quick google search shows that this banned by Vada when used in competition and it is found in supplements.

I think this fight will still go ahead.

If you go to the bottom of this article:

"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."

It goes on to say: "Specified substances are not necessarily less serious agents for the purpose of doping than other prohibited substances, and nor do they relieve athletes of the strict liability rule that makes them responsible for all substances that enter his or her body.

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

Likely he will receive a much reduced ban than the 2 year standard the BBBoC use, if he can explain it was a supplement of some kind.
