This is the most annoying thing about PEDs in boxing - as soon as someone gets caught, a load of their fans come out as apologists and give a load of excuses. It’s basically seen as no big deal. It was exactly the same for Fury and Canelo. VADA are seemingly now being slated for being the only testing agency who do their job properly.tobyh5 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2018, 16:39 I love how Billy fans are now quoting and using UKAD's stance on this, the same organisation they all said was an utter joke just a few months ago over the Fury saga. Pretty sure a fair few also said we should be using WADA and VADA instead of UKAD which should be disbanded.

Re: BJS
Bellend for me will be forever tainted over Larry O. A former poster on here was on bodybuilding forums where Larry posted with the same name as he posted on here advising people on cheating.
When this was relayed on here the poster got a world of shit for it. Bellend coming out with his usual I’m a fighter, you’re not, you no nothing, I know everything. He got the posters phone number and has words with him over the phone.
Don’t think he ever apologised.

Fair comments here, if you have been unjustly done over then you would expect a better reaction, over the weekend his instagram is about being out with his mates and doing his usual stuff like he couldnt care at all......JimJim2009 wrote: ↑14 Oct 2018, 06:17 If I was in this situation, I would be producing some sort of medical proof of the cold/flu/sniffles, and a receipt for the nasal spray from boots. I would be stressing how I have cocked up, and tripped myself up, and I'd be saying "here, look - I went to the docs on such a date, and straight afterwards i popped into boots, and bought this stuff". In a situation like this there is no conclusive proof to show if he was on PEDs or taking an inhaler, so its a case of doing your best to argue your case.
Plenty of experts are popping up saying this stuff is very powerful and would have helped him shed weight, and lots of onlookers are observing his physical improvements since moving to the ingle gym. In other words there is a lot of content and opinion online blowing in the direction of PED use, and almost nothing much blowing back the other way. Rather than telling the commission to "suck my xxxx" and having my promoter start suing, I would be thinking about the other battle - the one for public opinion and media opinion.
I have to wonder what BJS and Fwank would have said had the roles been reversed, and Andrade was the one failing the test and ruining the fight. Am not sure they would be so understanding.
If I were BJS, if there weren't a doctors record or a boots receipt, I've have Kugan interviewing me outside the doctors, or outside boots, or whatever, explaining myself clearly, that I have fxxked up by taking a nasal spray. I'd have family and friends chipping in saying yes he was really run down etc. I'd even poke fun at myself for being so dumb, and would be apologising to Andrade, Hearn and DAZN.
I don't know what really went on behind the scenes and led to the failed test but based on what I see and hear, as much as I like BJS, if I had to pick I think I'd go with the PED scenario. If you can film yourself tapping up a hooker by offering her coke to slap a stranger, and actually post that video online, frankly you have the capacity for anything.

Boomer says nothing on Kid Galahad or Whyte. Or Enzo. He’s no commenting on BJS.
