Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Furious That Rivas Was Unaware of Whyte's Test

[andocom]

Warren is right but the thing is Oscar Rivas lost his unbeaten record this should be a no contest i think Whyte is never gonna box again hence took the money and run. WBC will strip him and put him at no 10 and board should ban him 8 years. He will never ever get the money he has got in his last couple of fights. Trust me when i say the gravy train is over for him. He looks like he has aged overnight Whyte

Explain your thought process here, the anti doping panel which after a hearing at which evidence was presented allowed Whyte to fight will now turn around and ban him for 8 years, really?

Not saying he won't get a ban, but it appears there are at least some mitigating circumstances no?

Just saw a video about rumors Rivas has popped also, as with Whyte, time will tell and the facts will come out in time but jumping the gun without full knowledge has made many look a fool.

Frank is right I'm afraid, this is a very serious matter, and as much as I like whyte as a tough fighting man, if this turns out true he shud be banned no question about it, for how long is not for me to say, also matchroom, UKAD and BBBC all need investigating somehow if they all knew of the positive result before the contest. Unfortunately this has to happen for the future and safety of our sport.

The bigger joke is VADA. Whyte was taking a drug that is detectable for 19 days and they didn't detect it while doing their advanced testing. This is the bigger issue here imo. This affects the entire sport.

he could of took it right after a vada test you know that right? Which is most likely what he did thinking his random testing was complete and it would be out his system before he has to do after fight testing but ukad popped up on him.... With the ukad/bbboc confidentiality clause while B sample being tested and investigation ongoing could be months before we find out

Dianabol is drug that needs to be taken consistently or it's pointless taking it. It's detectable for 19 days. They were doing advanced testing where they test multiple times during training. Sorry there's no excusing VADA not catching him.

If i was Oscar rivas I would definitely want the result changing to a no contest and maybe a vacant interim WBC contest sorting out and even maybe a law suit might be in order as it was his life on the line after all.

Rivas get a good lawyer, thank god a tragedy did not happen here, but based on the info available now, Rivas you got
millions $ coming to you, get a good lawyer.

I agree with this but should happen for every fight where someone is found guilty of taking PEDs.

Whatever though Rivas performed well in that fight, deserves another big fight

I agree, VADA and WBC "Clean Boxing" have to answers some very important questions, but Frank Warren just totally exposed Eddie Hearn and MatchRoom as hypocrites! Eddie Hearn has the most questions to answer of them all!
