Sorry mate, was not at all arguing your post which was bang on. I was backing it up - factually correct but not giving a true reflection of events, so totally misleading as you said
I don't wanna sound like some tin pot conspiracist but it makes you wonder if some of these websites just act as propaganda arms for certain promoters. For instance on the flip side there's always one boxing website that seems to poo on everything Matchroom related and talks up another certain promoter.

It's all very strange.
It is sometimes the case that spin specialist companies will influence bloggers or tin pot journos for their clients, and influence social media. These days you need to filter a lot of deritis from what we call news

YouTube is packed with 'boxing commentators' who don't even pretend not to be bias. Al Haymon seems to have an army on there who bring race into the argument as much as they can.

Not a massive issue for people who follow boxing properly, but for casuals and young fans getting into the sport it could well distort their opinion of certain fighters or promoters as they may not know any better.

What’s taking so long for this to be dealt with and answered one way or another?

Fake news! Also gives known liars an “out” because there is so much fake news or spun news

Yeah I agree, UKAD are probably tied up in a legal dispute and it will all get sorted by solicitors without the real story ever been released to the public.

Yep, strong Twitter suggests that he will get away with this purely due to lack of resources of UKAD.

If that happens, he may well fool some twitter idiots, but anyone with intelligence will know it is a tacit admission of guilt as they will never have answered the simple question - how did a PED end up in his urine? Plus, if its explainable and no cheating involved, they would not use heavy legal and financial might to squash it all, but would just turn up with clear proof, which would be open to scrutiny to the public and fans, and be cleared of all wrong doing.

Yeah, if Whyte was innocent, it'd be so easy to prove. You wouldn't even need all this Hearn blustering, diverting, Whyte's tweet, did he didn't he. All you'd simply do it, news comes out some dodgy happened, a day or two later (doesn't take that long), he's the definitive evidence from his pi55... it's clean, see, end of

The only reason there can literally be for Hearn doing 1000000000000000000000000000000000000 interviews on the matter is to divert attention, get people thinking other things, add false questions in to the mix

Has it been confirmed by either body anywhere that he did test positive? Other than Thomas Hausers story?

Yes mate. Hearn admitted there was an adverse finding with the A Sample, he also admitted that part of Hauser's story was accurate but he flanneled what the substance actually was, which shows the adverse finding was a substance.
