Joseph Parker tested positive for cocaine on day of Fabio Wardley fight

[Cyclops]

If he's got involved in all that he's a proper doughnut, must have made millions from boxing

It says 2017, to be fair to him. That's before he fought Joshua and so before he really made millions. And long before Saudi money.

The year he started hanging out with Fury

Not what his coach meant when he told him to hit the bag

[Coco]

He wasn't doing it to lose weight

classic

When I saw that Parker had tested positive I wasn’t one bit surprised due to the link to Dr Uz & the sudden turnaround in fortunes but I didn’t expect it to be cocaine. Hard to work that one out.

[MightyWarrior]

he may as well have taken a line during the fight, then could’ve talked non-stop and bored Fabio to death.

Parker has new denied taking cocains

Parker has new denied taking cocains

His wording is interesting, he didn’t say he doesn’t use prohibited substances but he did say he doesn’t use PEDs.

"I did not take any prohibited substance, I do not use performance-enhancing drugs and do not support their use.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Hmmm.. Yh, so he probably smokes some weed from time to time.

They won’t change it to NC anyway. Cus he lost.

Yes it was odd wording

Just admit you had a few bifters ffs , feine drug addiction like what all celebs do when caught having a line or puff

Tbh I'd rather testers never bothered testing for recreational drugs, concentrate more on peds

Or the contaminated eggs line

“I want to address today's news. Before my recent fight, I took a voluntary test and have now been informed that it returned an adverse result. This came as a real surprise to me. I did not take any prohibited substance, I do not use performance enhancing drugs and do not support their use.

I am cooperating fully with the process now underway, and I am confident the investigation will clear my name. Thank you to everyone who has sent messages of support. It means a great deal to me and my family. When the investigation is complete, I will speak openly and answer questions.”

Joseph Parker: 'I did not take any prohibited substance'

Joseph Parker has reacted on social media to reports that he tested positive for cocaine on the day of his fight with Fabio Wardley.

The 33-year-old heavyweight contender was ahead on two cards going into the 11th round of a memorable battle before he was dramatically stopped. It was a sizeable upset but the results of his drug test, which occurred before the contest, has proved an even bigger surprise.

Is amateur experience overrated in...

Coco is hardly something you can take by mistake or contamination, or because you did not know it was in the air or offered by your environment, what a joke.

[Controversial]

If it’s in his system then I’m not sure how he can blame something else, touching it wouldn’t show up on a test.

Famously, Richard Gasquet, at the time a leading French tennis player, escaped a ban after a positive test for cocaine by blaming it on kissing a woman who’d taken coke that evening

Yes but cocaine is not performance enhancing

I want to agree, except with the ridiculous past bans for recreational drugs I can see why he might wanna go for the muddy the waters, create doubt and denie path…

He should say “I have a cocain problem and am going to rehab” and get a 6 month ban and continue his career….

But if he says that he risks a 4 year ban.

I've been out of the UK since 1997 but even then every fornicator was nosed up in even small town boozers.

If a fighter is allowed to do shots of tequila between rounds then he should be allowed a little sniff

I’d say he does have a bit of a genuine problem if he can’t resist doing Coke in fight week
