Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance

[Ake-Dawg]

well, we'll see when we know more I guess. You know I don't believe promoters.

�� Oscar Rivas’ promoter Yvon Michel: “It is with amazement we learned yesterday the news that Dillian Whyte tested positive before the fight against Oscar. None of the parties involved has confirmed or denied the information… We learned it at the same time as everybody else.”

So right now it's just a snakes word against another, but it's pretty damning.

Right...but Hearns response is a bit telling to me. He doesn't outright deny an adverse finding occurred in his usual brash snarky tone.

To be precise...VADA does not clear fighters to fight. They test and report test results. I can't speak to UKAD but I presume they are similar, with BBBC being the governing body which determines what action to take in the case of an adverse test finding.

With that said, it appears that Hearn is being a bit disingenuous in his tweet. Purposely I may add, as I presume that he is fully aware of each en****** role in the process.

I posted UKAD/BBBC testing protocols on page 49 and how they are going go about handling a positive test

That’s that karma I’ve been talking about....frauds

Eddie ***** running for the nearest exit trying to distance himself from it, he will claim of course that he knew nothing about it, Mr ***** you have been caught **** to rights sir!

I feel the same

Whyte is a likeable guy and a decent fighter but if he's been on the gear he deserves a long ban if not a lifetime ban

Hopefully there's a explanation or whytes career is over just as it was about to take off

Gutted to be honest. I’ve got some people in common with him and they all say he’s great guy.

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.

You are completely misunderstanding what that means, Sherlock

"Sanctions" = punishment for a PED violation ... fines, bans, whatever.

Suspension pending investigation is not a "sanction"

Tyson and Hughie Fury were suspended immediately when charged by UKAD and the adjudication process was never completed because a settlement was reached before it even began.

When Whyte failed a previous UKAD test a few days before a fight, he was charged with a violation, suspended immediately, and the fight was cancelled


This time, Whyte wasn't suspended after being flagged and the fight wasn't cancelled.

Based on that, and the tweet by Hearn, "both fighters were cleared to fight by UKAD and VADA" I am able to deduce that Dillian wasn't charged with any PED violation before the fight, and it's possible that he still hasn't been charged with anything and maybe never will be.

What do you think, Sherlock?

Somebody should create a "Triggered by Fast Eddie" meme for posts like this!

En route to a London press conference 24-year-old Whyte received a phone call from UK Anti Doping (UKAD). Traces of a banned substance officially named methylhexaneamine (DMAA) were found in recent samples given by the heavyweight fighter.
Following a number of telephone conversations with a UKAD official, the British Boxing Board of Control and promoter Frank Maloney a decision not to appear at the press conference for the English heavyweight title against John Mcdermott was made. Whyte's team have claimed it was from a pre-workout drink which Whyte used in the lead up to his last bout, unaware that the product had been banned from retail outlets in the UK only weeks before.
Whyte and his team have committed to co-operate fully with the UKAD and the British Boxing Board of Control in the coming weeks.
Whyte said: “I have nothing to hide it's a genuine mistake and I urge all boxers to double check all ingredients in all pre-workout drinks they take, I would hate to see another boxer make the same mistake I have.”

Whyte and his team agreed pullout fight he could of still went on with it but nice try... This failed test happen with just 3 days left before ppv you really think Hearn was going cancel the whole card being as though none of the other fights scheduled could justify still carrying on with it on ppv as main event? UKAD/BBBC allows fighters to fight pending investigation being complete it says so on they testing site..... THE FURYS FAKED DEPRESSION/SKIN DISORDER WHY THEY DIDNT FIGHT WHILE INVESTIGATION TOOK PLACE AND UKAD JUST WASHED THEY HANDS WITH IT AND BACKDATED SUSPENSION

EDIT: BBBC/UKAD LET MOLINA GO THROUGH WITH HIS FIGHT AFTER HE FAILED A TEST BEFORE BOUT TOOK PLACE AND ONLY SUSPENDED HIM AFTER THEY COMPLETED INVESTIGATION

Meanwhile, back to the regularly scheduled discussion.
