Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance

A little off topic but how in the world would Tyson Fury bankrupt UKAD, a government body?

Not even sure how he would have an actionable case as long as they followed their own policies, maybe they weren't and thats the issue, just find it odd the claims he would bankrupt UKAD, even if his awarded judgement was more than their budget the gov is paying one way or another.

[Alan Smithee]

Of course you won't because you jumped to a conclusion and was wrong again like you always are. I didn't say i believed anything, i said they could have done. There's a difference, not that you'd know being thick as ****.

I jumped to a conclusion? Yeah okay! Admit that you are a fu.king idiot. You constantly put your foot in your mouth. How did VADA not catch him? They test at different times you fool,lol! Unbelievable!

[_Rexy_]

The fact that Eddie and matchroom knew, while Rivas team didn’t was just disgusting.

Ukad budget is small as hell being tied up in litigation will bankrupt them having to pay lawyers

Its because ukad is a farce of an org,I think it is because the shltstorm that would follow as well as the precedent it would set that fighters can just sue them into needing to ask government for more money,& they just flat out wanted to avoid the circus at all costs which would further make bbboc look like the kangaroo clowns they are, powerless

[Rusty Tromboni]

Yeah, I think the more money they get, the better doctors and scientists they can hire to mask it from the anti-doping bodies.

Exactly.

How many of these guys shared a locker room growing up w/ futre MLB/NFL/NBA players? Or have the same trainers.

England has lots of Rugby, Cricket and Soccer players. Certainly the latter are well managed. But I just can't imagine these heavyweights and those soccer players share the same circles.

I Wrestled in college 20 years ago. Different times. I know what collegiate and pro-athletes do. Yes, a lot of guys are "clean". But they don't even know what that means. I am not saying you have to be Ronnie Coleman or Rich Piana to succeed in sports, but most high level atheltes can't do what they do and a continuous level simply on diet, exercise and training.

The sanctimonious kuntz are only showing that they weren't competitive athletes. Not that I condone cheating at all. It's just that this behavior is still pervasive. More get away with it than get caught.

I believe Vada was doing the out of competition testing & ukad was doing the actual testing because in the UK the boxing organizations have stated on numerous occasions that they don't want to step on toes or make ukad redundant so whenever a vada fighter is also a UKAD fighter or fighting in the UK then ukad handles the testing afaik. I have a few examples to cite such as varcacel the president of WBO saying along these lines as justification for wbo not mandating vada. Then you have the examples of Fury literally getting away with being caught with a rare roid because UKAD was literally scared he would sue which would bankrupt them Completely because UKADs entire budget is sooo small a 1 mil judgement against them would completely bankrupt them

Ukad is a complete travesty of a anti doping agency that operates on a shoestring budget funded by taxpayers & receiving zero from fighters like vada does when a fighter is on vada 365 or when cbp pays them

UKAD testing definitely does not exempt UK fighters from VADA. If VADA advanced is is being used prefight, UK fighters are subject to the exact same VADA protocol as their opponents. They also have to enroll for VADA 365 to be ranked by the WBC, the same as everybody else.

Tyson Fury was being tested by both UKAD and VADA for his rematch with Wlad. If he wasn't, how could he have been popped for ******* by a random VADA test?

BJS was also flagged by a VADA test while training in the UK for his fight with Andrade, which proves that what you are saying here is not true.

And btw, the reason UKAD were scared of being sued by Fury was that they admitted they broke their own rules by waiting 15 months before notifying him of a failed test.

[Robbie Barrett]

I jumped to a conclusion? Yeah okay! Admit that you are a fu.king idiot. You constantly put your foot in your mouth. How did VADA not catch him? They test at different times you fool,lol! Unbelievable!

You really are dim as **** aren't you? Why am i questioning VADA? Because i'm highlighting that they aren't that good. You're helping me. Thanks.

This should clear something up(just kidding)

Joshua is also a drug cheat rematch must happen in USA, AJ must register with VADA and take random testing or no rematch. pic.twitter.com/SAsjMfsFEk

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

— Eddie Hearn (@EddieHearn) July 24, 2019

For a minute I thought that was actually Al Haymond's real twitter account, and for a guy worth that much tweeting a textbook definition of libel would be lawyers wet dream, but its just some fake account, so carry on.

[KTFOKING]

Yeah, if that's the case then that is inexcusable. The fact that UKAD didn't inform the sanctioning bodies is also pretty poor too. I'm curious what the substance was and if it's something that is universally banned.

Really is inexcusable that Rivas nor his team were informed of the positive sample. I get that a fighter has a right to the B sample be tested, but Rivas team should have known beforehand that Whyte failed a test and it was up to him to proceed with the fight since the B sample wasn't going to come back at the time of the fight.
