Allegedly all of these products are fairly rubbish in powder form, most people taking them deliberately would buy the liquid drops.

It's a shame these tests dont reveal the quantity in someone's system as that would be a huge indicator if it's cross-contamination or deliberate.

A lot of these "muscle drink" firms buy the products in from china and mix them and package them in a little factory unit. Many combo's of powders and drinks are not FDA approved and neither are their ingredients.

It absolutely can contaminate other items from the same company. Minimum wage staff or muscleheads walking around with a hair net on, does not correlate to a proper procedure being in place.
Exactly I remember Amir Khan was showing ringside around his camp when he was with roach and he showed what supplements he takes and was explaining how he team screen all the supplements and how rigorous the procedure is due to the worry of cross contamination. Obviously he has a world class setup, brownes team are probably checking the labels on the products but buying the stuff in from holland and Barrett or something which i doubt is going through the stringent testing that they need to be going through.

Exactly.

Maybe it's prejudice, but looking at his size and stature you'd have to wonder how much was gained naturally.

Perhaps now he's legit clean - but has a pantry loaded with pills, potions, proteins powders and crap with names like "Kapow!" and "Super ultimate orange fat burner 5000" that are all basically supplements that try to emulate steroid use without being steroids.

Unfortunately, despite many of these ingredients being legal - many are still banned from competitive sport.

Like you say, they might just read the label in good faith. But that is no guarantee that they haven't been contaminated.

Every super market has hundreds of foods that don't contain nuts - but the warning label clearly states that nuts are also in the same factory of origin where the product has been prepared and some exposure/contamination may have occurred.

W@rren should make a play for Lucas Browne and take control of his UK dates.
Brownes fun to watch and a character...

Browne always seems to come across as a real gent in his interviews, engaging and polite. Him vs Parker could be a great occasion down under and they'd both earn well from it potentially if it was built right but its probably seen as a dangerous fight by DUCO, they will want to cash out that WBO belt vs Wilder or the ultimate golden goose Anthony Joshua and I wouldn't blame them.

I think alot of fighters are ducking Lucas Browne. He reminds me of a prime Matt Skelton. He would beat Parker and lenroy easy.

I'd agree. Hes tough and has ko power.
His deal with Hatton is up and I really think W@rren should make a play for him.
I could see him beating Christian Hammer and taking his spot in the WBO rankings. Leading to a money fight with either Parker or Hughie Fury. All names W@rren is familiar with.
I could also see him getting back into the WBA mess with potential fights against Flores(10), Oquendo(4), Briggs(3) and Ustinov(2) potentially picking up the WBA 'Regular' Title and looking at AJ for the money fight.
Fun times for and Browne fans...

I can't see Browne beating Parker. He obviously has a punchers chance but I just think he'd get picked apart.

I like Browne & believe his version of the two failed drug tests but Parker seems a level above.

I'd give him a better chance against Wilder. That would be fun.

He might as well fight Fres Oquendo, but I hear Browne is no longer ranked and has to start from scratch.

Geez Lucas Browne gets a lot of love. He went life and death with Rudenko, was getting beaten easily by a well past it Chagaev before the KO, and struggled big time against Julius Long of all fighters lol who took the fight on 5 days notice :lol: . The guy is barely top 30 material.

If I was Lucas Browne I would sign with a British promoter. I'd speak to both Eddie and Frank and put it in the contract that the first fight they would need to deliver would be Lenroy Thomas for the Commonwealth considering Lucas Browne is Australian.

It would make a nice little fight on the undercard of a PPV. It would give the new promoter and Lucas Browne options and he would be right back in the mix.

True, he's not actually that good, but the love is for his fighting style and engaging personality.

Fair enough. I'll give him one thing he does have heart and will go right to the end but I'd still back most fighters in the top 30 to beat him.
