Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders - Statement Regarding Positive Drug Test

[Eff Pandas]

He has a fight in less then a month so how is this "OUT OF COMPETITION"???

There is a certain time table thats deemed in & out of competition.

I believe, don't quote me on this, its within 24hrs of the event or the day of the event til within an hour or so after an event.

Anyone who gots the exact time table feel free to correct me, but I believe its that or something close to what I said.

WBO middleweight champion Saunders feels Alvarez's reputation has been permanently tainted by the scandal and that his relatively short suspension is a "disgrace for boxing. Even if he beat Golovkin again, I wouldn't class him as beating him because I still look at him as a cheat. don't agree with what he's done. And I think it's a disgrace for boxing. You get these young fighters coming up now, they're looking at Canelo, looking at what he's got and what he's become. Are they going to think 'we can do that, we can get away with a six-month ban?” When you see people like that enhancing their body to do more damage on someone, I think that's cheating and it should be a ban for life, most definitely."

I suppose by "in competition" they mean present in his system whilst actually competing (day of fight).

If he hasn't broke WADA rules then he's done nothing wrong.

"In-Competition testing is conducted in connection with a sporting event. WADA define in-competition as “the period commencing 12 hours before competition… through to the end of such competition and the sample-collection process related to such competition”, unless stated otherwise by the rules of an IF or other relevant anti-doping organisation."

Billy Joe Sanders said that Saul Alvarez should be banned for life for pissing hot....so does he think the same should apply to him.

BJS statement is bullshlt.

Oops I guessed 3 people already explained it before me.

Why can't Larry ever figure out anything for himself anyway?

This makes sense..i dont believe Billy Joe would be a cheater, a cheater doesnt actively call out other cheaters...they dont want the spotlight on them when there is talks about failing PED tests and such.

Dan rafael better get his cheque book ready after being sued on this one!

If I was a pro boxer, and wanted to cheat... Id just look for products that can contain a specific banned substance that i wanted to use...

Thats not a very effective way to cheat.

If I was cheating I'd just use sh^t when I wasn't scheduled to fight & still work out so my body would get the improvements via the banned substance.

Or micro dose. Although I don't know all the particulars with that.

Or if there is some ultra successful sh^t you can mask with then I'd just use the best substance for my desired effect at my leisure.

But keeping nasal spray in your back pocket or a Mexican hamburger in your fridge aren't very effective vs some other ways. Not to say BJS or Canelo didn't use those tactics, but its probably not the best method to cheat.

Randomly go listen to that Michael Woods podcast with Jameel McCline from a couple weeks back. That really opened my eyes to the extent guys will go to cheat. And he wasn't even much of a player back in the day. So if McCline is cheating like he stated he was then BJS & Canelo are doing some f#cking crazy much more impressive sh^t nowadays then depending on Mexican meat or decongestants in their back pocket.
