Yeah, that will make Price really believe he's still a world beater again, if was a called no contest?

TT wasn't actually PEDs it was a substance used in anti depressant medication which can also be used to mask PEDs. It is a bit complex actually not as bad as being made out. It's all on UK anti doping website in great detail.

Just read a bit more about TO and it doesn't stack up for me. He claims it's only for high blood pressure as prescribed by his doctor but can't provide proof of this.

Looking at the UKAD banned list, rugby and Welsh Rugby in particular seems to have a big problem

In fairness, TT's wife is the one that took the brunt of him being juiced up, her poor hip

Price might have got a shot at wlad back then. His stock was huge and he had a lot of credibility. Many were saying he was the future of the division - a comical claim in hindsight. How would you have matched him to get to the wlad fight? Swerve TT to begin with and go for a pianeta/wach/ustinov/ fight is probably how I would have matched him. Then straight on to wlad. The fight was there and he would have been a punch away from the title. Wlad wipes his ass with price I think but it would have been a great payday at least and you never know with his power.
