According to Saunders he himself should be banned from boxing for life

[Larry the boss]

Because training isn't competing Larry. It's training.

Out of competition means you have no fight coming up...when you are training for a fight that is "IN COMPETITION" that is when the testing is the toughest..I mean you can't say he is out of competition and he IS TRAINING FOR A FIGHT!!

So if he was using his "nasal spray" between rounds during the fight then it would be a problem. lol what a joke.

"I 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."

BJS is a hypocrite and I am not at all surprised he tested positive.
I’m not making any accusations but I have it on good authority that he isn’t the only one enhancing in that gym.

That's not how it works Larry. YOU can't make up your own definition.

[McNulty]

how is it out of competition when he has a fight in less then a month?

If he sniffed an entire bottle during the fight, the rule might apply. When insufflated (sniffed) the halflife and delivery effect is different than if it was an injection or oral dose. Thus, the transient nature renders it to be a non-performance enhancing drug.

Stimulants are banned only in competition, as any advantage they give is transient in nature, and as a total ban would be difficult given that many OTC medicines contain stimulants in addition to the stimulants obtainable as prescription medicines.

The Prohibited List may identify specified substances, which are particularly susceptible to unintentional anti-doping rule violations because of their general availability in medicinal products or are less likely to be successfully abused as doping agents.

Not saying it's impossible for the rules to have changed in the last 2 years but I'll wait for comment from VADA before celebrating.

Several professional athletes also have been disqualified from sport due to testing positive for oxilofrine, which is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and most major sports organizations including Major League Baseball (MLB) and the National Football League (NFL).

Also, just out of curiosity, has UKAD ever caught anyone doing anything that would disqualify them?

He literally said "I stand corrected" in another thread and then he goes back to making the exact same argument.
