Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Reacts To PED Claims From Jarrell Miller

[KnickTillDeaTh]

I think there's far more circumstantial evidence that suggests Canelo, and Pac, were using - but other than AJ's physique, there's not much else to go on. Could he be using? of course, and no one would be surprised either, but as I said there's not really much to go on. Though, funny enough, that extremely detailed defense he gave in this interview, makes him seem guilty. AJ should just brush these questions off, laugh and move on.

AJ put on 13lbs of muscle in 10 weeks between his fight with Kisicek and Dorian Darch while been off with a “back injury“

I'm not saying this because I am a big Joshua fan but until there is clear evidence that he is using illegal performance enhancers consistently like some people are saying, then I will continue to watch his fights and believe that he is a clean boxer.

All this nonsense about him having an HGH belly, its hilarious. Joshua is big but not that much bigger than me, I've never taken any drugs in my life and, at his best, he's probably an inch taller and a stone heavier. Black people supposedly have high bone density and better genetics for building his frame so I am not surprised in the slightest that he is massive when he's 6'6" and trains like a beast.

Unless any of you are close to his physical size, you won't ever know.

Well Joshua used the word accident

“He only KO’s the ones going backwards” LOL ...that’s 95% of them at the last count, although to be fair I wouldnt have figured Miller much of a man for stats anyway.

Funny though how some people on here arguing a guy that has never been flagged despite VADA testing is dirty, have also argued in the past that Canelo was clean despite being flagged, some people can’t see past their personal prejudices, sad.

some people can’t see past their personal prejudices, sad

In a nutshell, people got to be careful with these unsubstantiated claims.

To be fair...this is what gets said about every fighter until they get caught. Alvarez being the latest example. I'm not saying he is on PEDs, I'm just saying that the lack of a positive test isn't concrete evidence that someone who doesn't test randomly year round isn't taking something, nor does it mean someone hasn't taken PEDs in the past.

From what I'm reading, the fighters have provided their reasons for SU****ION and so have some fans. I'm not sure their su****ions can just be dismissed as prejudice regardless of whether they prove to be false.

Well, now Joshua has actually come out and publicly stated he has been signed up to VADA for many years and all that entails with twice weekly testing and letting them know his whereabouts at all times.
Surely it's the truth, as if he was caught lying on that particular subject the repercussions would make Lance Armstrong's downfall look like a minor loss of popularity - that's not saying his profile is currently bigger than Lance's at his peak, only that PED use in combat sports is more dangerous to opponents than it is in cycling.
And I'm pretty sure VADA would pipe up pretty quickly if anything Joshua said regarding their interactions was incorrect - they made Canelo's failed test public knowledge after all and he's probably the no.1 money man in boxing at the moment.

I dont think anyone would be surprised to find out that AJ has used PED or if he popped dirty in the future . I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that AJ/Peds have been mentioned by more then 1 Fighter and opponents have wanted to have stricter testing when fighting him:

The best part of that article was when AJs Quoted as basically saying if I get popped anytime in the next 10 years , it’ll be a accident . That’s not really a great thing to say

Hey I might pop sometime down the road but it won’t be done on purpose

Oh yeah everyone accuses him ever think maybe it's because he's the only one that's clean ...

Miller popped.
Tyson popped
Whyte popped
Parker ducked a VADA test.

Guys if you want to point the finger at someone else get your own house in order.

The guy does way more tests than say Wilder (UKAD/WADA 365 in addition and is more monitored by the BBoC). Look personally I'm sure Wilder is on something hence the rage etc but as long as he does the tests I'm ok as that's all we got and so many are failing and ducking the tests.

Also, he fights on average every six months so that is more than ample time to cycle off.

Yes, very good point.
