I will never fork out a bean to watch Whyte, nor will I support him in any way at all (but to complete my own double standards, I have no issue with Fury. I know, go figure?!)

Re: Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance
That's the biggest issue for me. The lack of transparency is what creates all the speculation. If it was done in the open then it would get cleared up pretty quickly.handsofstone wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 15:09 I'm not the biggest fan of Whyte the person but ive always been led to believe it was a genuine mistake 1st time around when he got the ban early in his career, wasn't it something over the counter or in a drink or something? I'm still glad he got a ban as boxers should take full responsibilty for what they put in their system, I think Maccarinelli was the same, I hate cheats and am all for life bans but truth be told there are levels to PEDs, some are blatant cheating and some are just naïve idiots, i'll give Whyte the benefit of doubt for the time being until I know more, its clear to see this isn't another Jarrell Miller case
From what ive heard and reading between the lines, VADA have maybe debunked UKADs findings and that's why UKAD and the BBBC cleared him to fight, VADA are the numero uno when it comes to testing and its clear to see UKAD are a bunch of clowns, we just need to remember the situation with the Fury's to know that much
What I will say though UKAD need to do away with the confidential crap, even if there's a query with findings all parties involved need to be aware even its not certain theres been any wrongdoing, I feel sorry for Rivas in all this but as Eddie says if he has failed as well then he or Whyte wont know for the same reasons, UKAD don't tell anyone dick and we know the VADA tests have been fine because they would reveal all
UKAD aren't fit for purpose, they have got the resourses to fight their own cases, wasn't the reason the Fury's got off was because a courtcase would bankrupt them??

Nice post I agreeBoxing Prospect wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 15:25There's plenty of reasons why ONE might find something and the other wouldn't, unless they were sharing the same sample (which would be weird). Don't imagine either were testing him every day, so what day they took the tests could have been important, how long Dbol shows up in a test could be an issue, how much fluid he had in his system for each of the tests, and even whether Dbol "pulses" in tests (see the Jon Jones case).handsofstone wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 15:09 From what ive heard and reading between the lines, VADA have maybe debunked UKADs findings and that's why UKAD and the BBBC cleared him to fight, VADA are the numero uno when it comes to testing and its clear to see UKAD are a bunch of clowns, we just need to remember the situation with the Fury's to know that much
VADA say doing tests on the 8th, 12th and 17th might have missed it if he took it on the 13th and it was cleared from his system 3 days later, whilst UKAD could have tested him on the 14th, and bang, traces of the metabolite show up. (dates used as example, and aren't specific to this case)
VADA might be number 1 but there are still hundreds of flaws with any testing, especially when the drugs are becoming ever harder to track and it can come down to luck of the testers.

Re: Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance
Ruiz was also a lot more active against Joshua that he was against Parker for example...not accusing him by any means, but agree that his build shouldn’t exclude the possibility of him using PEDs. Frankly I think they’re all on them anyway.Grilling Machine wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 15:56I wouldn't. He might have plenty of unseen enhanced muscle under that fat, and recall that Miller was busted for Cardarine for improved stamina. EPO's one of the tricky ones because it's detectable during its peak enhancement. So it's a big timing gamble, but also a big help.
Could it be that Wilder's more devastating 225lb self is the PED version? I'd been putting his weight loss down to the pressure of bigger fights, but it's very plausible that that was down to stricter testing. Wilder looks like one of the fittest heavies (book by its cover, I know), and yet he tires. I'd be very surprised if any top fighter's clean, but not surprised if Wilder's a lighter user.

Toney failed a ped test too
Flabs more of a calorie issue then a ped issue. Fat guys still have muscle and stuff under there fat, they can still get plenty of benefits from peds while being flabby

Yeah that's the feeling I've got which seems even stranger to me.

Does that then mean that the panel who sat in on the hearing just believe what you say as gospel and let you on your way with no potential punishment?
Just going on what Eddie has said, it almost sounds like the panel just saw the evidence of the VADA tests being clean and then said well they were clean so there was no doping going on.
If that is the case, that seems pretty strange because what the hell is even the point of the UKAD tests if they just ignore their own findings.

I can't really imagine the Furys for instance sitting their and measuring their macros correctly.

Yeah exactly. That’s what I’m saying, it’s not just a bodybuilding/physique thing, can’t point to someone being clean purely on their body shape or type.rd350lc wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 16:13Don't know shite about the subject , but is it not more of a stamina boosting thing , rather than muscle building ?Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 16:06 And Fury has always looked like sh!t in terms of build, and still failed a test.

Fury technically never tested positive,had raised levels in sample A but his sample B was tested which was totally clean, from my understanding thats why UKADA couldn't fine/or ban him and had to drop the suspension etcBoxerbeetle wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 16:06 And Fury has always looked like sh!t in terms of build, and still failed a test.
If Whytes B sample comes back positive also then he's in a far different boat than what fury was in .

Re: Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance
My hunch is after reading everything, Whyte has TUE's which UKAD were aware of however VADA were not in the loop.
The test comes back positive from VADA, then the hearing before the bout with UKAD is just providing evidence that the flagged substance was an exemption.

Re: Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance
It was a UKAD test not a VADA test that flagged something up. That's why both VADA and the WBC wernt aware of it. Whyte then used the evidence of his VADA tests all being negative for his hearing for the UKAD test.

This too. It was increased during the Fury trial.
Re: Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance
I'm sorry, not a banned drug (obviously) but an illegal one, such as dianobol (sp?). I was under the impression that this drug was illegal in most countries, not just boxing.
