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

[Son Lyme]

This is the state of boxing media. This article states Whyte had an adverse finding - commonly known as a positive test. Clearly that cannot be the case. An adverse finding can't be over ruled by any panel anywhere. It is a failed test full stop.

The only kind of result that requires investigation by a panel is an atypical finding. A category that exists to cover things like TUE and fluctuations in normal biological processes. A panel of experts query any anomalies and then make judgement. At that moment the judgement is either adverse or negative. That they allowed Whyte to proceed to fight indicates the judgement was negative.

The way the boxing media write about drug testing is woeful, creating a narrative that such protocols are either pass or fail. Clearly they are not as there are three possible outcomes of a test - Negative - Atypical - Adverse. The panel exists to qualify atypical results into adverse or negative. So Whyte in this case was negative. Nothing to report - nothing to inform anyone about - and nothing to stop him fighting.

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.

VADA testing was minimal in this instance. They carried out some testing.

How exactly do you know vadas testing schedule?

Provide source or stop making this up

They were doing their advanced pre fight testing. The testing the fighters pay for themselves, where they are tested multiple times during training camp.

Fury fought Klitsko roided to the eyeballs. When fisheye adresses this i'll start to take his schtick with a straight face. Whyte AND Fury = cheating scum.
