Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance

[polecateddy]

The BBC is reporting that as Whyte has already served a 2 year doping ban 2012-2014, he would be looking at an 8 year ban here. The likely defence of unknowingly taking the substance I would imagine will be recycled again ...it was what he said last time.

He will sue and UKAD will back down.

I don't understand. Sue them on what grounds?

That they caught him!

On the grounds that he may be a two time cheat (along with being a whiney, lying, grandstanding, beneficiary of UK gift decisions and reffing) but he is a serial dumbass.

Yeah I was with you til that point. What gift decision?!

Parker. He deserved no more than a draw.

Parker. He deserved no more than a draw.

That was mostly due to the 2nd round KD being given after it was not a legitimate KD. Also, you can argue the ref wasn't that good. Whyte using bad roughhousing tactics.

Even the first Chisora fight, MANY had Chisora winning that.

Seconds Out in brief discussion with Mauricio Sulaiman said the WBC president and the organization only found out about he failed test in the same way the public knew. They have not been updated by Matchroom; Dillian Whyte nor UKAD or BBBoC directly. No futher comment was said.

I just read he has tested positive for dbol !

Where did you see it. I haven't yet read or heard that. Unreal situation.

B0xingScene has now confirmed that the substances were epimethandienone and hydroxymethandienone, two metabolites of the banned drug Dianabol.

A metabolite is a byproduct of the body breaking down or metabolizing a drug into a different substance. When a drug is leaving the user's system, it leaves these intermediate end products.

Dianabol is an anabolic steroid that is taken orally (often in tablet form). It was developed in 1955 to treat hypogonadism but is no longer used medically and is no longer legally available in many countries, including the United States. It can still be purchased in the United Kingdom and is often used as a performance enhancing drug (particularly by bodybuilders). Among its many side effects, it can cause serious liver damage.

The amount of epimethandienone and hydroxymethandienone found in Whyte's "A" sample was very small. It could have been ingested as part of a supplement rather than the direct ingestion of Dianabol tablets. But the WADA standard for epimethandienone and hydroxymethandienone is qualitative, not quantitative. In order words, any amount of epimethandienone or hydroxymethandienone in an athlete's system is a violation of the WADA code.

It's now widely understood that the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) under the leadership of Dr. Margaret Goodman offers the most comprehensive, fairly administered PED testing in boxing. The powers that be in the sport should act now in conjunction with VADA to put teeth in PED enforcement.

Matchroom Boxing in concert with Sky Sports and DAZN, Queensberry Promotions in concert with BT Sport, Top Rank in concert with ESPN, Premier Boxing Champions in concert with Showtime and Fox, all promoters and networks, should take the following stand: In order to fight under our promotional banner and on our network, fighters will be required to submit to year-round VADA testing. A small percentage of each TV license fee will be used to fund the program.

Alternatively, promoters, TV executives, and fighters can continue to play Russian roulette with a second bullet labeled "PEDs" inserted the chamber of each gun that is pointed at a fighter's brain.

Matchroom should be made to refund all ticket buyers and those who bought the PPV expecting a fair fight , only way to stop the nonsense is hit them in their wallet

[oogiebe]

A substance like Dianabol couldn't be a worse scenario for Dill. What an idiot. Now we'll never see WIlder vs Whyte and Dill has completely crashed his entire career. Several UK papers reported that he can face a lifetime bad according to the rules of the BBBoC. What a shame. What a jerkoff.

[lefthook82]

He will sue and UKAD will back down.

I don't understand. Sue them on what grounds?

Probably same baseless grounds as Fury. UKAD are scaredy cats, very underfunded, any big claims will have to be underwritten by DCMS and that's a long winded process

[Tugger28]

Tbf.....the matchroom bubble has been unravelling for a while, ever since the DAZN deal was announced.

And, if Hearn knew before about Whyte, which he obviously did and still let the show go on.. THAT is an absolute disgrace......

[Nightmare Roy]

Sounds very dodge but I’ll wait until we know what he’s be found to have taken if he’s just been smoking weed I couldn’t care less

Just read that the amount found in his A sample was very small, so it could have been caused by a supplement. I imagine your friend is pulling his hair out at the moment.

Dianobol being rumoured

Dianabol has been identified as the substance. He's screwed. Also opens up Matchroom and Hearn for a lawsuit as Dianabol is clearly a PED and they never notified Rivas' camp. Shitstorm coming.

Did you not see the boxing scene article that's just been posted?

[jameswilson]

A very well known steroid is dianobol. Pretty damning if the b sample does come back and surely a huge ban is incoming unless that somehow comes back clear.

A lot of people getting high and mighty on it being Whyte but remaining quiet on Saunders and the Fury’s tho.

If the b sample is requested and comes back dirty Whyte deserves chucking out. But Wilder saying he won’t fight Whyte and that he deserves banning, but then happily fighting and embracing like some poof, Luis Ortiz who’s failed, 2 or 3 tests is just cringeworthy,

[gilgamesh]

I honestly wouldn't even comment on it if I were a fighter. I'd be nervous that even if I were clean, that somebody close to me was slipping something in my drink or something to f*ck me over.

I'm pretty sure if I were a World Class boxer I'd be paranoid of the people I have around me for this reason, and wouldn't ingest anything that I didn't see prepared or know EXACTLY what was in it.
