Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance

Yeah it seems like Rivas should have a good case for a law suit if that's what happened.

I think he has a good case right now.
He was defrauded, and cheated out of an interim title and a shot at the champ.

Wtf. He popped before the fight & they let him fight no problemo?

But lol not surprising. Whyte's been popped before + "everyone is on steroids".

Re

So Rivas will remain unbeaten, after the fight result is tossed?!

Aj and eddie ***** want ruiz in the UK so joshua can juice to the gills

And get caught like Whyte?!

[KTFOKING]

Agreed... very odd plus no mainstream boxing reporter has posted about this on Twitter (that I've seen). Still how'd they know 3 days in advance and let it go on... plus if they didnt tell Rivas thats borderline criminal

Well, to be fair the fight took place in the UK, not stateside. And not only that, but everyone stateside was pretty much at Pacquiao/Thurman. The last thing here, the UK boxing scene is SUPER secretive. Hardly anything gets leaked there and you can't get certain information there that you can stateside. Like the PPV buys are never leaked and I tried asking for some gross receipts from some cards that took place there and got no response. Most of the commissions here stateside will provide you with what you are looking for within a week (Not NY/RI though).

That's the thing I mentioned in a later post that even on fights that went through after a failed test, the opponent was at least notified. In this case, only one side was notified. Why would UKAD not notify Rivas team as well?

Thought Hearn looked normal. Just went on his usual rant that they can't run from Whyte any longer and he has to get a shot before May of 2020. That didn't sound like a man worried his fighter would be facing some sort of ban.

Trust me, he didn't look his usual self. Even during the post-fight press conference, he wasn't smiling like he normally does.

Busted! What a moron? He and Jarrell Miller should become pals. He was so quick of accusing Joshua of juicing and he now got caught cheating himself.

Way to go there Dillian! You have successfully pissed away your WBC mandatory status. Now you can expect a lengthy suspension from all the major sanctioning bodies.

The irony of it all was that he was enrolled in the WBC's VADA-CBP 365 day 24/7 too and he still popped dirty.

The people that would know if aj wasn’t medically fit to fight on June 1st is Hearn and aj camp you dunce...

You're a hillbilly, this is above your pay grade.

[tokon]

But that doesn't negate how corrupt the NY commission is, that fight wouldn't have been sanctioned in the UK.

Really?!

The UK where the good old BBBC knew about Whyte positive test and STILL let the fight go on without advising Rivas team and possibly run the risk of the fight being cancelled?

Really?!!

Trust me, he didn't look his usual self. Even during the post-fight press conference, he wasn't smiling like he normally does.

I didn't catch that. Only saw post-fight interview he had in the ring. I don't know, I'm not convinced Whyte will serve any type of ban here. He may get off.

Looking back though, Whyte was the one that looked a bit out of it not really excited for becoming the mandatory. Hearn though? Didn't see that from him.
