I can't believe Larry has turned grass. With his background he should know better.

We're not in the yard in junior school, PEDs are a poison in our sport. One day someone is gonna die in the ring as a result of someone juicing. The BBBofC need to do everything they can to try and keep them out of the game.

the line "a drug cheat and a grass" crossed my mind also but I didn't post it for the exact above reason.

Drugs cheating should carry life ban and in boxing, I would suggest, a prison sentence. That said, everybody has flaws to one extent or another.

I think the board should introduce a '100% Clean' campaign, which fighters can sign up for and agree to voluntary tests.

It should be. If I was a '100% Clean' fighter, I'd take a piss test every day, to prove I am legit.

Really Mickey? Once most guys get caught they look for the way out, there's not many that don't say a word.

The 'myth' of keeping things on the quiet , its all balls really. They either stitch each other up, or drop one of them in to cover for the whole lot. Then mostly they go online and spout ablout 'all sticking together'

from a practical POV though who's going to test all that urine. Even the cheats would sign up to it if the reality meant they'd only get tested 2 or 3 times a year. Do they take blood as well these testers? They could put the licence fees up but it wouldn't be popular would it?

The board should use the fines from the drugs cheats to pay for it.

fair enough mate, but i would say this is him helping the board because they are actually clueless, or choose to be clueless about the PED problem in boxing.

I think they could give plenty of samples, but they wouldn't all need to be tested. The possibility of them being tested would be enough IMO.

The BBBofC should try and get some funding from the government or from Europe and lead the world in drug testing. They should make it so difficult for fighters to dope.

We would also need to tackle fighters coming into the country from elsewhere.

I'll never forget how Oliver McCall refused the test after the Bruno fight.

Glad the report is untrue for now, there shouldn't even by a hearing. If larry serves less suspension time thn Tony Oakey then it will be rediculous. The man was a serial cheater of PED's. it wasn't a one time moment of madness.

Im hoping the board will uphold the ban that ukad gave him even though they have suspended it.Im not keen on drugs cheat in the sport I wonder how many others he brought to light tho.I wonder if these will be given the same deal eventually if enough people turn over all the cheats will be caught.Unless they just do it on there own
