Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance

[Willowthewisp]

So reading the article, Hearn and everyone KNEW about the positive test but Oscar Rivas' team didn't. That is disgusting.

Yeah, that's practically criminal- the community just had a fighter die this week and UKAD is letting PED users fight, sh^t is unsafe as it is.

They just lost a champion and top contender, if that's "interesting" to you that's cool.

Losing a fight doesn’t make you less interesting, wait for the numbers Joshua vs Ruiz gets... they’ll suggest people are interested!

You claimed that Whyte wasn't suspended as soon as he was popped before the McDermott fight and that he could have gone ahead with the fight if he'd wanted to. That was a lie and I just proved it with the link I posted.

Dillian was provisionally suspended and banned from all competition on the same day he was notified of the positive test.

Now you are telling more lies about how UKAD and the BBBoC handle positive test results. Or maybe your reading comprehension is just too poor to understand what it says at their sites.

If a UK fighter tests positive he is suspended immediately and not allowed to fight until his case is heard by an adjudicating panel, If the panel clears him he can then continue his career. If they uphold the charge he is fined and suspended for however long the BBBoC decide is appropriate.

He test results came dirty from previous fight...... and again fool Molina fought after testing positive for a ukad test before the fight took place and was only suspended after investigation was done which resulted in a 2 year ban.... I guess they made a special rule for bum azz Molina to go through with a fight after testing positive

Wow this is dodgy as hell, were Whytes gloves loaded as well as him being on PEDS?

Russ Anber is one of the classiest men in the sport that I've met. I 100% believe his word.

What did I make up lmao the guy popped dirty way before his fight with Mcdermott was to take place not 3 days before the fight took place..... The investigation would of took place while he was in camp for the Mcdermott fight so his handlers and bbbc agreed to cancel fight and let the process play out you posted exactly what I posted and skipped over ukad letting Molina fight after failing a test pending his investigation..... I don’t know why you trying defend something that needs no defending when it’s on ukad/bbbc site how they go about a positive test....If a fighter or his team wants to cancel a fight pending investigation they can or they also have option of going ahead with scheduled fight while b sample is tested and other procedural steps are taken[/I][/B]

Thanks for pointing that out

I read in the Telegraph that Whyte immediately asked that his B sample be tested. If the protocol is that the results don't become punishable until the athlete admits wrong doing or the B sample is tested, then it explains some of why things unfolded the way they did.

The glove issue adds another layer to this story as well.

Strange comment! The British heavyweight scene is pretty interesting!

They just lost a champion and top contender, if that's "interesting" to you that's cool.

The two situations differ in that, based on the final decision report following his appeal, when UKAD called Whyte it was to notify him that they had concluded he'd committed an offense and would be suspended effective the day after his last fight (post fight positive test). That was almost a month after the test and he appealed in January.

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

The two situations differ in that, based on the final decision report following his appeal, when UKAD called Whyte it was to notify him that they had concluded he'd committed an offense and would be suspended effective the day after his last fight (post fight positive test).
