Comments Thread For: Bellew: Ortiz & Povetkin Are PED Cheats - NOT Saunders, Whyte

[alexjust]

"Ban those cheats for life" - Tony Bellew. "Unless they are British". "And I like them or I know them" - also Tony Bellew. All of sudden Tony knows exactly what happened with Whyte and BJS. Sherlock Holmes from Liverpool. Did you hover over them with a candle, Tony? There were no proper investigation into the BJS - he dropped the belt like a hot potato. Povetkin was investigated thoroughly, had two trials and won on appeal. Double standards much, Tony?

P.S. Do I really need to defend Povetkin to make a point?..

Blatant hypocrisy.

99% of fighters who fail their test have a convenient excuse or reason.

Hold them all to the same standard.

Bellew says anyone who fails a test should be banned for life, hold them to the same standard. Simple.

If "oh it was only nasal spray" was a legit excuse then everyone who's failed a test is in the clear.

Didn't he rightfully slate Canelo for claiming it was tainted meat that caused him to fail his test? Well what is the difference between that and Billy Joe's scenario?

This, cased closed. I really hope Bellew gets popped for something too.

VADAs list should be the same as WADA which is the Worlds governing body that sets the standards for all athletes globally and rules that UKAD , USADA etc enforce

Why when VADAS banned list includes drugs that WADA only prohibit on the day of competition? VADA caught BJS with oxilofrine that wada say is fine unless on the day of the fight.. VADA ban it outright at all times..

VADAS list IS WADA's list.. they just dont **** around like WADA

VADA is the gold standard.. not WADA or USADA or UKAD, hence why people pay for extra VADA testing

Does he actually realise the severity of what Saunders has been using, oxilofrine ? Bellew is a mug.

Hold them all to the same standard.

What about this:

Whyte tested positive for a banned substance after ingesting a workout recovery drink, which the boxer purchased at a local store for nutritional items.

You believe we should apply the same standard and not differentiate between someone who buys a recovery drink from a local store and someone who injects himself? Seems a bit harsh

[Biolink]

Those UK fighters do stick together better than Americans

Look, guys, it simply can't be clearer. Ban all PED cheats for life according to Tony unless he christens them as "not cheats" because he knows them. Very clear cut.

That's what Whyte says. You believe him? Why?

Lucas Browne said the exact same. You believe him?

Where's the line? Which excuses do we believe and which do we not?

Every boxer should be responsible for what they take in. Bellew, I hope you are training hard for the Usyk fight. Stop talking and focus
