WBA Suspends Shannon Briggs Six Months for Failed PED Test

Post by Ruthless-RKO »

The WBA announced Thursday afternoon that it has suspended Shannon Briggs for six months because he failed a pre-fight, performance-enhancing drug test two months ago.

The 45-year-old Briggs was supposed to face Fres Oquendo for a version of the WBA’s heavyweight title June 3 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Their highly scrutinized title fight was canceled once a test by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association determined Briggs had dramatically elevated levels of testosterone in his system.

Briggs (60-6-1, 53 KOs, 1 NC) is unusually muscular for someone his age and speculation regarding PED use has long swirled around the boisterous Brooklyn native.

He has gone 9-0 and knocked out eight of those opponents since starting his comeback in April 2014. He won those nine bouts against a very low level of opposition, but Briggs still climbed to the No. 3 spot in the WBA’s heavyweight rankings.

The former WBO heavyweight champion is still rated No. 3 by the WBA, but is expected to drop from the top 15 now that he has been suspended.

He had testosterone in his body, but claimed he had that because of his asmha, which is most likely true. Serena Williams had a far worser case, but got away because more money is involved.

I like Maria Sharapova better because I think she's a lot prettier... But Serena Williams has a lot of T-an-A for somebody with a cock...

I've seen a lot of hefty and even fairly muscular women in my life... Some are very robust and robutt as well!! ... Serena is not that big an anomaly.

It takes all kinds. I see guys all the time who are pretty soft and waif-like. Naturally low-T or whatever their problem is.

I'd bang the ah!t out of Serena.

Then after ten minutes when I got tired I'd let her unleash her animal physicality on me :o

I didn't dare to check the facts into more detail, but I'll believe you, I bet Briggs has a dick as well and he once sayd he loved to get in the ring with Beyonce, as he called it.

If there was one boxer who I knew, in the dark, used steroids without having to check his drug test, it would be Shannon Briggs. 300 pounds and 11% bodyfat, get the hell out of here. The dude has more muscle mass than a lot of pro wrestlers and bodybuilders who abuse steroids. He also has more muscle mass than every other boxer who's ever been caught using steroids. This is the ultimate no-brainer.

Finally we have some closure with this. They could have suspended him a month ago.

His “A” sample tested positive for anabolic agents, beta-2 agonist, metabolic modulators, GHRP, hormones and related substances.


What prescription does the guy use for his asthma?

Wow, I very much doubt that's true lol, why would he need that for such an easy fight?
I did hear about his raised testosterone levels indeed.

First off he needs it because he's old as fornicate and not good at Boxing. Secondly, he's been on roids for so long if he stopped now he'd probably be too depleted to get out of bed. I mean, lets not get it backwards, you're batshit crazy; but this is on another level of stupid. Seriously, this is straight jacket territory.

Testosterone depletes with age, for a 45 to have raised levels and look like a bodybuilder theres only one conclusion in my book.
