UKAD ban Ivica Bacurin for 4 years

[Randall Cunning]

❌ UKAD have just today announced that Ivica Bacurin has been banned from boxing for four years because he tested positive for multiple banned substances after his fight with Joe Joyce on June 15th 2018. The entire process took 16 months and was completely confidential until now.

apparently the check bounced

Seriously though, how could the process possibly take 16 months??

He’s Croatian and not British. What a shock.

UKAD are beyond a joke at this point. 16 months to reach a decision is fucking ridiculous. But heck, it took them 15 months to even notify Tyson Fury about it after he "failed" one of their tests.

What it is the point of testing boxers before a fight if they can fail a test and nobody knows a damned thing about it till over a year later?

It's the WADA process that slows everything down. Took USADA 2 years to ban that dirty coach the other week.

They choose to make an example of... a guy no one ever heard of. UK stars walk free though.

Completely agree. Bacurin doesn’t have the money or influence to avoid punishment.

[turnedup]

At least someone got banned..and we didn’t have Sulaiman come out and put on a whole PR campaign defending the dirty test result and saying he’s been wronged before a conclusion was reached. Honestly 16 days or 16 months..i prefer when people who have nothing to do with testing or decision making on bans to stfu and wait on results like the rest of us. Still can’t believe how some fighters promoters and sanctioning bodies and belt organizations get involved as they have..Hearn, Oscar, Sulaiman, and company should be barred from talking shh nonsense to the public while investigations go on.

The end of a rather strange career of mismatches. Never went into a fight where there was ever much doubt as to the outcome.

Dude got beat up by everyone lol. If anyone deserves a little juice to recover it's these journeymen going into mismatch after mismatch (I'm not actually serious btw).

Look at his record its ridiculous. He bounces between fighting guys with more losses then wins then fights an undefeated guy or someone with few losses. Then back to fighting guys who are 2-31, 12-21 etc.

MEANWHILE Dillian Whyte and Big Baby Miller press on
