How does he think he has a leg to stand on here? Even the almighty Canelo had to take a 6 month suspension and postpone his rematch with GGG. Lesson to fighters who want to cheat.

Basically this. The biggest fight in boxing got cancelled...what’d he think would happen with him?


Even if he somehow won, who cares? “We “ “know “ (for arguments saks) he’s juicing because he thought he could get away with til fight night.

Whether him or Canelo are telling the truth only they know. Whats important is what he does next. We’ll see his next performance and if he really goes out of the way to prove he didnt the way Canelo did. Hes going to have a lot to prove, rightfully so

This is going to be the dumbest lawsuit ever.....We tested positive in August, however in September we were clean. Now give us millions.

I can't wait to see this train wreck.

Warren put a statement out on his site.

I think he has a case. Be interesting to see how this pans out.

Saunders and Warren just months earlier stated that if you fail a drug test you are forever a cheater no excuses for why you failed and you should be banned for life. Oh the irony LMAO

It is an interesting one. I checked the MSAC statutes when this broke out - posted some quotes in another thread - and I think Warren and Saunders may have a case.

I'm not a legal expert but the way it looks to me, Andrade had the right to cancel the fight (and possibly to sue Saunders) for breaking the terms of their contract, the WBO have the right to strip Saunders under their rules for acting in a way that caused a title fight to fall through, but MSAC do not have a right to deny Saunders a license under their PED statutes because they expressly state they use WADA protocols, which Saunders has not contravened. If they'd chosen not to license him because he's a **** I don't think Saunders would have had a leg to stand on however.

Will be interesting to see which way this pans out.

[Larry the boss]

according to himself he should be banned for life

Yep, that's how it looks.

Even the WBO part probably has some sort of grey area too i.e Even if Saunders "acted" in a way that caused the fight to fall through, MSAC have made a mistake in accordance with their rules, therefor, they're the main cause of it falling through, officially. Under their rules, it should be still going ahead, rightly or wrongly. Then again, WBO say he give up the title before being stripped, so that's probably not an issue anymore.

Very strange situation, but he certainly has a case that he would probably win against MSAC, if he hasn't technically broken any of their rules.

Frank Warren is no mug. They know they have a case and Warren's lawyers will have been all over this before putting out the statement.
