You just can't make this shvt up. Ban him for life!

... But not for the people who get caught using PED's and deny it.

If someone never tests positive, I'll go with that. It does no good to vigorously point fingers at certain fighters, but present absolutely no proof.

Just a hunch, just a suspicion doesn't cut it.

3 failed tests for 3 different substances including epo and the despicable drug that is hgh.

2 year ban should be the absolute minimum.

Enlightened-One wrote: ↑21 Apr 2019, 06:44 If you take a look at The RING ratings for the heavyweight division, half of the names listed have received suspensions for consuming banned substances (three of them being multiple offendors), one of them was sentenced for being in possession of recreational drugs and one of them was convicted for being a drug dealer.

Of the three remaining “innocent” guys, one of them is currently serving a suspension for allegedly groping a woman and delivering an unwelcome unsolicited kiss.

And Miller’s promoter thinks that fight fans are being hypercritical due to her fighter being an African American, coupled with her being criticised for being a woman! FFS!

I think we’ve all had enough of dirty fighters and Miller's situation is possibly the most extreme example you can find, since he’s a repeat offender that has been intentionally using three different substances (preparing for the AJ bout) whilst accusing other fighters of being drug cheats and then subsequently lying about his own innocence!

"With all of that being said, it is hard for me not to think that he is being nailed to the cross because he is an African-American fighter."

Fina said she she had also suffered abuse over the issue for being Miller's promoter.
"I can't help but to think that a lot of that has to do with the fact that I am a woman in a male-dominated industry. This is not me playing the victim, but stating facts," she added.

Thoughts?

When you have no ammunition to fire back, turning the discussion around and pointing the finger at others as having racist/sexist motives is the only way to go.

Deflect criticism by turning the accusers into the even guiltier party.

Brilliant. And in our snowflake PC society, it is an often effective tactic in quieting the outcry.

He's just a big fat bum should be forgotten about and if that is fattist, bumist, or both, I couldn't give a stuff.
