Who’s going to sue Whyte and Hearn for defending themselves?

[Redd Foxx]

I noticed this. UKAD must have concluded no risk to Rivas, otherwise he would not have been licenced by BBBC. UKAD must therefore have concluded test consistent with low level contamination and not doping (evidence by timing of other tests). Frank suggested Rivas put at risk which would be defamatory, hence interview pulled.

WTF are you talking about "low level contamination not doping"??
How do you suppose dbol metabolites happen to get into a person's system? You think they are floating around in the lab and, "Oops!" they floated into someone's sample??

The risk from doping is rarely that someone goes into a ring on steroids, it's that they used it in training and therefore cheated/had an advantage. They are looking to see if someone used them in prep for a fight, not just of they got fresh needle marks.

Whyte is going through a legal process with the UKAD and the British Board. He was cleared to fight, but not cleared for the failed drug test. The legal process for that is confidential and Hearn or Whyte saying the wrong thing could cost them.

Not to mention, I believe they fully expect a lawsuit from Yvon Michel and Rivas.

Can you comment as to whether you guys were confronted/pressured in regard to your coverage of the issue?

Even if he said, "no comment", that would be enough to tell me what's up.

Michel stated today on RDS that he has a full legal crew working on all that went wrong in that fight... They of course need a (most likely not happening) positive "B" sample result to get going and a commitment from the sanctioning body to make things right...

They're basically pleading the 5th

They don't want to further incriminate themselves

[Robbie Barrett]

Eddie Hearn and Dillian Whyte repeatedly say they can’t be anything more than completely vague while defending themselves on the failed drug test issue because of legal reasons.

What legal reasons? They’re going to get sued for defending themselves from accusations? Who’s going to sue them?

It doesn’t make sense.

Molina confirmed fighters aren't allowed to talk about it when under investigation. Again, rules are being followed.

Because I couldn’t speak about it due to litigation. The case is still open and Ukad continue to want to ban me for sparring. After last week I feel I have to speak up.

Go complain to WADA if you want the rules changed.

You are overlooking the fact that he was being regularly tested by VADA. So lets say he was tested 24 hrs before UKAD test. He will be able to establish a max dose he could have ingested consistent with not doping. Otherwise, UKAD would not have let him figjt.
