Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance

[rudy]

appalling is the word.....but I don’t know what banned substance he was using so I cannot judge till then really as it might be ******* , or something like a stimulant in a drink...but if it is real peds and it adds to whyte’s endurance or power and can make him a more dangerous fighter then along with whyte Hearn should lose his promotional licence and should be thrown to the hounds.
I’m an ex boxer and fan long before Hearn came around and boxing comes 1st not a promotional outfit.
Let’s see the results 1st rexy before we cast judgement

I honestly dont believe it he has been setup he don't do drugs and is a ****** so not drink or weed.

Nothing has been confirmed career down the drain if true ban him for life

[Straightener]

I’m with you. I was an amateur boxer in my youth as well, and if it’s true then it’s disgusting.

But I’m also a prescribed user of medical marijuana and I know that VADA doesn’t test for Canabanoids. Something like that, I couldn’t care less about. But if it’s a legit PED then get rid of both of them.

I might be reading too much into hearns statement but it states the two testing body’s ie vada UKAD and the bboc were all ok with the fight going ahead ?

They didn’t let millers fight go ahead or bjs

Wonder what the ****s going on / what they have found in his system

[MDPopescu]

... so: you say that VADA and UKAD act in the deepest secrecy... they both don't provide (public) info and, therefore, they can't prevent tragedies in the ring (even when they would be liable)... OK, OK...

Vada do report failed tests to public if it was the ones that administrated the test the fighter failed.....

The ukad do not it’s in they protocols that a boxer can request they b sample be tested before they release info to public and hand down a ban


Under rules in place in the United Kingdom, Whyte has a right of appeal. UKAD takes the position that, until the adjudication process is over and due process is complete, there has not been a finding that a fighter is in breach of its PED protocols and no sanctions can be put in place by the British Boxing Board of Control. The adjudication process often begins with the testing of a fighter's "B" sample, which can generally be done in 24 to 48 hours. But it often drags on for more than a year. The National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP), an independent entity, is responsible for the final adjudication of PED disputes.

Under VADA protocols, the positive test result would have been reported to the World Boxing Council and Rivas camp. That appears to have not been the case in this instance with UKAD.

... I see... Did VADA tell anything to "Rivas camp"???

Maybe they could give Rivas a shot at the next in the rankings which would’ve been Fury.

well Rivas is down to number 10 now but that wouldn’t be fair if it was a no contest. So it’d probably be more fair to put him back in a mandatory fight with Fury.

But Fury wouldn’t need the fight if he’s already gonna fight Wilder..

Who knows. The WBC are as big a joke as anybody. They will just slide Arreola back in somehow. He usually gets a random WBC title shot every couple of years despite not fighting much.

I don’t think the rankings have been updated. Pretty sure Rivas was 10 at the time of the fight. They’d have to redo the rankings and have the top guys fight it out.

Mike Tyson is a ****** and dude has a podcast where he smokes weed With his guests while interviewing them lmfao

I dated a “moderate ******” before too. Wouldn’t eat pork but would let me PIITB. They’re hypocritical like every other religion.

People saying Hearn should lose his license as a promoter, why would that happen? You think the BBBoC would pull Hearn's license because Whyte failed their test and they still let the fight happen?

It's their job to decide if the fight goes ahead, and if what has been reported is true it will be their heads on the block, not Hearn's.

So far we have unnamed sources saying he failed a UKAD test 3 days before the fight and Hearn and Whyte were aware but not Rivas.

Hearn tweeted both fighters were tested by VADA and UKAD and cleared to fight by them as well as BBBoC.

How could both these things be true, would even a cannabis finding trigger UKAD protocols and stop the fight. If there was any failed test would UKAD be compelled to also notify VADA, I'm thinking maybe not but who knows, the WBC sanctioned the fight, would they be notified, again perhaps not.

I just can't believe the BBBoC or UKAD would allow the fight to happen if he had legit PEDs in his system, the liability would be outrageous, innocent until proven guilty is understandable, due process is required etc, but you don't allow anyone to fight after failing a test surely?

They admitted they were scared of being sued, regardless of the semantics,& I posted 2 replies after I made that comment which showed I was wrong & vada was testing for this fight after all. But that doesn't change the fact that cbp is seperate from vada 365 as I've proven before & just did again in tho post I made showing vadas tweets that specify when a fighter is on cbp or vada 365(more stringent)

As for BJS he was only being tested by vada for the 1st time due to the fight taking place in the US,& it was his 1st vada fight.

You didn't prove that CPB is seperate from VADA 365!

You posted a misinformed tweet by Fat Dan which was refuted by other, more knowledgeable journalists. CPB is a requirement for all WBC the top 15 ranked fighters to enroll for VADA 365. That's literally all the CBP is!

There are numerous examples of UK fighters being tested by VADA for fights in the UK, I just gave you one - Tyson Fury got popped for ******* by VADA in the UK while training for a UK rematch with Wlad.

You don't need to go back too far to find another example - Eddie Hearn has confirmed on twitter that Whyte and Rivas were extensively tested by both VADA and UKAD before their fight:

Further to reports I can confirm that both Dillian Whyte and Oscar Rivas were subject to extensive VADA and UKAD testing for their bout. Both fighters were cleared to fight by both bodies and the BBBofC

... sure... Tyson has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Have been a big fan of Whyte but if this is confirmed he'll be going in the "bum and drug cheat" category along with Fury and Miller.

Whyte, Miller and Fury all accused Joshua of taking PEDs. There's a pattern here. It's like how gay people who can't admit to themsleves they are gay are always the ones calling everyone else "f*gg*t"

I'm sorry but any fighter who tests positive is always cheating. People should watch the video with Michael Bispring on Joe Rogan show. He said the only way you can test positive is if you take a substance, it's never a mistake.

This is a sensible post.

Whyte was cleared to fight by both VADA and UKAD.

People should stop jumping the gun and wait to find out what he was popped for and what happens when the B sample is tested.
