OMG another one

[sucracristo]

OMG another one

another one who looked like he had some fight breathed back into him from somewhere
after his career as a top level guy was almost done. now we know where it came from.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

It was Jack's fault!!!!!!!!

[Tanzio]

It was Jack's fault!!!!!!!!

. . . and an American conspiracy.

[Perseus]

Yet another PED user claiming he doesn't know how it got into his system.

The cheaters are consistent aren't they?
None of them knew they were cheating.

[diddy]

Hmmm. Who called it? What pisses me off is that bullshyt draw cost me a lot of money. Now I'm even more pissed.

[Syntax Error]

I blame Wilt Chamberlain.

[s21]

Well, that's completely possible, since I can easily imagine in most cases the fighter just consume whatever his team said since he himself won't know much about the details

[gilgamesh]

Well at least he was coming off a loss. So whatever. I wasn't too crazy about seeing him get another title shot he didn't earn anyway.

A lot of people were very suspect if that performance if I remember rightly.

[handsofstone]

Shame because i liked Bute,why cant fighters these days dredge up good performances later in their career through dedication,motivation and inspiration?

Instead of juicing?,ban them all for life,its becoming an epidemic if feels

[try saying the 1st paragraph in your best Don King impression]

Guys have always been cheating. The testing is just getting better and more efficient. Was this another guy VADA caught?

Exactly

It is possible.

It is also possible and far more likely that all of them knew what there were doing, thought they could beat the drug tests then just say they didn't know after getting caught.
Even if they don't know they still deserve whatever punishment they get after failing a drug test.
The boxers know the drug tests are coming, if they don't question AND research everything about their diet they are idiots.

Do you mean they deserve TUE (Therapeutic use exception) like Floyd ?

Do you look for a way to bring your obvious anti-Mayweather agenda into every thread or are you just a Bute fan trying to defend him by pointing out what other boxers do?

I am saying that almost all top fighters are using something, but some like Mayweather or Vargas get a pass, while others get punished.

Finally something positive in his career since losing to Froch.

Fury said he reckons ALL top athletes are on drugs. And he may not be the most credible person in the world but it certainly rings true.

..well that sounds like self-incrimination to me..

Yep.

It was obvious to me, and I said so here at the time, that Bute was on something for the DeGale fight. He looked like a completely energized fighter from the recent couple of years. A different man. Gonna let you in on a little secret, you dont get BETTER and LIVELIER in your mid to late 30's naturally. It doesnt matter how "good your diet is" or "how well you take care of yourself". Professional sports, and especially combat sports, are a young man's world.
