Discrimination against carnival folk it is.
Massachusetts commission corruption.

There are weight lifting supplements that contain "legal" substances that convert into genuine steroids when metabolized. The supp industry games the law by slightly altering the chemical composition every time one gets banned.It seems ridiculous to me that a substance in a nasal spray that anyone can buy over the counter should be banned in the first place. If it's so potent and effective it should only be available with a doctor's prescription.I think sometimes those in power get carried away busting everybody for every thing in the name of cleaning up the sport. A perfectly good and logical fight between two of the world's top middleweights is dead now. They should have let Saunders fight and just test him hard between now and the fight. Now Andrade will almost certainly fight someone not as good as Saunders. It would be nice if Andrade fought Jermall but that is far too logical to ever happen in today's boxing world.
What BJS tested for is a variant on ephedrine that was created because ephedrine was banned in many places, including the US. These are classified as amphetamines.Comment

That's what I thought I read initially. It's somehow morphed into a B sample.Comment

I told you Robbie that Saunders wouldn't be licensed or permitted to fight in Massachusetts or anywhere else in the U.S. In addition, I said that inevitably he would be stripped of his WBO title too but you doubted me.
Now he is appealing it. There will be a WBO title fight on Oct 22 but Saunders won't be one of the fighters to challenge for it but Andrade will.
You see you are from England and I am from the United States. Therefore, I know the rules, laws, protocols and regulations a lot better than you do in this country.Comment

It doesn't matter Robbie. He admitted to taking it the first time. So whether the B sample came back positive or negative. It's still is irrelevant.Comment

^^^^^ ThisThe problem is Saunders team admitted to taking the substance immediately. Their defense was yeah we took it but it was out of competition then in the last hour the second sample came back so hard to argue a procedure technicality when you already told the world yes we were using the illegal substance.Comment
