Billy Joe Saunders fails drug test (talk about hitting rock bottom)

[moogie101]

So first canelo gets no real punishment for his fail and now a failed test that somehow isn't a fail. fornicating sport is a joke.

[jamamb]

i just dont get the whole argument that under bbbc and uk rules its fine, so therefore no biggie. the fights not in uk and he agreed to vada testing and conditions

[BigDoofus]

fat Dan broke a false story

Hasn't he had history with BJS on twitter?

[jamamb]

ya bjs called him a pedo

[Covfefe]

So let me get this right.

VADA tested him and he tested positive for a drug that is on their banned list but isn’t banned in either the U.K. or Massachusetts? And it’s somehting he’s allowed to use except on the day of the fight?

So this is a complete non-story?

Dan Rafael needs to be careful breaking stories like that.

[jamamb]

what are the massachussets rules? what do they follow

[Grilling Machine]

To get a message to you? It's only words; Joe wins again.

I went to a Boots pharmacy in Sheffield last week. In front of me in the queue was Brother Awad. He was buying a Vicks spray. He could of easily bought the rub, but he seemed desperate for the spray.
I’m not pointing fingers but he didn’t sound bunged up and he had mischief in his eyes.

It can’t be that much of a non-story, Hearn said yesterday it’s 50-50 that Saunders will get stripped of his title. All comes down to what the Massachusetts commission decides apparently.

Interview is here, BJS stuff starts around 6:30:

I fvcking love Kalle He’s clearly got a great life and is enjoying every minute of it

[Glass Joe]

[greg]

..Kalle's a character ..wonder what kind of nasal spray he's been using

[jamamb]

so maybe not just some irresponsibly reported, non-story then, eh?

some fake 'fake news' perhaps?

[Glass Joe]

Bet the 5 people who booked flights will be gutted still a good trade card. Wonder where BJS goes from here. (probably balloon back in weight)

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person

[Boxerbeetle]

Oh dear. Shame as it would have been an interesting fight. A bigger draw / more popular guy would probably have gotten away with it.

So if the VADA test doesn't count why was Saunders tested ? Money talks and Eddie won't want that show called off and they won't want to lose any sanctioning fees

Vada have the best screening system so this has flagged up, but the results are passed to the sanctioning bodies who have their list of prohibited drugs. No sanctioning board in boxing prohibits this stimulant during training as it only lasts 12 hours. It’s banned within 24 hours of a fight, basically VADA yellow flagged it and fat Dan broke a false story. It’s a storm in a teacup he’s allowed to take the stimulant and that’s about that.

ya, great stuff, finn

it was all just a false story by irresponsible dan rafael

and absolutely no one in the world prohibits this substance or will have a problem with it being used.

and 'thats about that', because a fr@ank warren press release said so

no biggie, fight going ahead, it was all just fake news mate!!! lol!

This new story about the fight being off and Saunders being stripped by the WBO is more leaked bs from fat dan. Completely made up and that’s about that.

[Glass Joe]

[jamamb]

lol, so its all fake about msac denying him a liscense and that?

its all fake that bjs-andrade is off?

lmao, okay finn, its all just a big conspiracy by dan rafael!

It is odd that there doesn’t seem to be an official statement yet, but even Andrade has retweeted about it so presumably it must be true.

[jamamb]

if it were all just fake i highly doubt warren/bjs etc would be keeping silent about it for now while all sorts of mainstream press and major fight writers say msac denied him and andrade is now fighting this namibian

the wbo pres has talked about it too

Everyone knows Dan Raf controls the sanctioning bodies. He personally signed the paperwork allowing Canelo to fight after his failed drugs test and then put £1mil of his own money given to him by Terrance Crawford on Canelo to win on points against GGG. He fell out with BJS and now false story after false story about BJS and if it isn’t a false story he personally signed off the paperwork stopping BJS from fighting. And that’s about that.
