Comments Thread For: WBO Denies Dillian Whyte Appeal, Upholds Usyk Mandatory Ruling

[SteveM]

Today marks 1 month since the Whyte - Rivas right. Still no B sample. The innocent have nothing to hide.

easy to say but why don't the BBoC who contracted (??) UKAD just come out and say the result? What is stopping them?

I'm not going to defend Whyte if it is established he voluntarily taken PEDs and it is proven, but at this stage...boys, hold your horses. We know absolutely nothing concrete yet other than the words "adverse finding" and "sample A". Shouldn't we wait for facts and official decision of BBoC come out? Jeez, no wonder the world is full of conspiracy theory nutcases.

Agree. But what can the hold up be - that in itself leads to conspiracy theories.

Whyte can do what he wants, it's not about Whyte. He's not the first and I know he won't be the last to cheat. It's about commissions who are mandated, their only reason for existing, to stop drug cheats, allow a drug cheat to fight and keep it secret, and for the home fighter. The glove thing stinks too.

After Usyk fights AJ/Ruiz, Whyte can probably regain #1 spot by fighting Tom Schwarz.

Having faith in “Mr. 600 days” requires the quantum leap of faith that a prior suspended drug cheat somehow is the 1 guy who’s B sample is clean. That happens nearly as often as comets enter the earth’s atmosphere and kill the dinosaurs. Please. He and Matchroom deserve the all public flogging they are getting. Listen to Eddie in the ring afterwards asking the British public to support his 600 days BS rant and forcing a beheading at the hands of wilder. And then their “hot mic” moment talking like they dodged a bullet with fight not getting cancelled. Disgraceful. Rivas - Saul Goodman is standing by for your call.

The law for one thing, UKAD follow the WADA rules. They don't announce results until a ruling is made and sanction handed down, same for all WADA signatories UKAD, USADA, ASADA etc.

BBBoC are only allowed to announce anything after UKAD publish their findings. Whyte isn't talking because its a confidential on going process, for him to come out making public statements while the process is underway would be pretty ******.

The WBC might actually is a bit of a tight spot here, they have provisionally suspended Whyte based on media reports, but they don't really have a solid reason to at this point, UKAD hasn't provisionally suspended him, and since that process is confidential, as in they won't even acknowledge an investigation is underway until it is completed and he is found to have doped, so basically all the WBC has is passed VADA tests and media reports.

Until the results from UKAD are known and with no provisional suspension from you could imagine Whyte's claim would be pretty straight forward to WBC etc, why am I suspended, you failed a test, did I where are the results?

I can definitely see it from the WBC's perspective also, they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Not taking the AJ fight was the worst mistake of Dillian Whyte's career and since then he has gone nowhere fast. Cycling off the PEDs with all the drama happening, Dillian must be going down the Tyson Fury Coke depression clown Road.

throw whyte in with jarrell miller. let the 2 drug cheats face off with each other with no titles on the line

[joe strong]

Whyte is not even the WBO #1 anymore. It is Usyk as we all know & Fury is in at #2. Whyte is the #3 contender

Fury is ranked ahead of Whyte too now..,
