He took a product called dexaprine which he thought was a fat burner apparantly.
Surely fat burners are not allowed and surely Enzo was aware of this, so the "I accidentally took it in a nasal congestant" excuse doesn't seem applicable.leftysreturn wrote:He took a product called dexaprine which he thought was a fat burner apparantly.
If you read the pdf on Enzo's case on the anti-doping agencys website it goes into more detail mate http://www.ukad.org.uk/anti-doping-rule ... iolations/Chambers2 wrote:Surely fat burners are not allowed and surely Enzo was aware of this, so the "I accidentally took it in a nasal congestant" excuse doesn't seem applicable.leftysreturn wrote:He took a product called dexaprine which he thought was a fat burner apparantly.
it wasnt nasal spray mate, what enzo took i mean.Scrap wrote:This interests me, Dunstan had taken Nazel spray in the Dressing room before He Boxed. He had come down with a heavy cold, think He got it of me, the cold that is. Id been in my Bed after getting there. In the Dressing room, when I saw what He was taking I went ballistic. As He said at the time, I cant Breath, if I cant have it, I cant Box.They found traces after the Fight, and He got 2 year Ban. No arguments from me, He in the eyes of the Board had Cheated. So why does Enzo only get 6 months.

Is that a masker ?.leftysreturn wrote:He took a product called dexaprine which he thought was a fat burner apparantly.
I dont think so mate, i think its purely to help you burn fat but its still a prohibited substance as its stimulant which can give you an edge as its causes your heart rate to increase and thus you have heightened awareness which would help you in a boxing match with being more alert to punches coming your way, etc.Scrap wrote:Is that a masker ?.leftysreturn wrote:He took a product called dexaprine which he thought was a fat burner apparantly.
its pretty confusing mate to be honest! Hadamianhucker1 wrote:out of curiosity , when exactly is defined as 'out of competition'
is there a minimum number of days between being allowed to take something thats considered 'out of competition' and actually competing ?

Essentially, the thing he took, is a legal supplement that can be used "out of competition" as a fat burner, but not in competition as it is a stimulant.smoggy7188 wrote:Has anyone got an explanation for why he got given 6months?

So, if he had it had been detected in a random out of competition test, he would of passed, but it turned up in an incompetition test. However, they accepted due to levels recored that he had stopped taking it a few days before the fight, so had no intended to take it as a stimulant.
Thats confusing, not your explanation but the BBBoC's policy.gobbles wrote:Essentially, the thing he took, is a legal supplement that can be used "out of competition" as a fat burner, but not in competition as it is a stimulant.smoggy7188 wrote:Has anyone got an explanation for why he got given 6months?

Yes, but also its stimulating effect (increasing in HR, alertness etc).smoggy7188 wrote:Thanks, So its not allowed to prevent fighters from crash dieting basically?gobbles wrote:Essentially, the thing he took, is a legal supplement that can be used "out of competition" as a fat burner, but not in competition as it is a stimulant.smoggy7188 wrote:Has anyone got an explanation for why he got given 6months?
