VICTOR CONTE OPDATERING OM BJ SAUNDERS’ POSITIV VADA-NARKOTIKATEST FORUD FOR ANDRADE-KAMP
 |
Video af Lucas Ketelle
SAINT CHARLES, F.EKS (Oktober 5, 2019) – Efter Billy Joe Saunders (26-0, 12 KOS) testet positivt for det forbudte stof, Oxilofrine, et kraftigt stimulerende middel fra amfetaminfamilien, hans WBO mellemvægt verdensmestertitelkamp med Demetrius Andrade (25-0, 16 KOS) blev i fare.
Siden nyheden brød ud i sidste uge, flere testprøver er indsamlet fra begge boksere af VIL GIVE(Frivillig antidopingforening). Victor Conte, en åbenlyst talsmand for antidoping, giver sin mening om, hvad der kan komme næste gang i denne saga om den ærekrænkede WBO verdensmester.
“Bundlinjen er dette, vi er kun få dage væk fra høringen, og boksefans får muligheden for at finde ud af, om dette bliver en historisk beslutning i boksens interesse, hvilket betyder, at de (Massachusetts State Athletic Commission) vil opretholde denne positive lægemiddeltest og regere til fordel for Andrade. Begge krigere underskrev VADA-tilmeldingskontrakten. De modtog listen over forbudte stoffer, da de underskrev den. De var begge enige om at blive testet til enhver tid for det stimulerende middel Oxilofrine. Så, BJ Saunders, eller hans promotorer, eller nogen anden kan ikke komme tilbage og sige, at han ikke vidste om dette forbudte stof. Lad os bare håbe, at Massachusetts-Kommissionen træffer den rigtige beslutning, og de overholder den ægte antidoping guldstandard i boksning kaldet VADA.” – Victor Conte, CEO for SNAC System.

Haney, a blue-chip prospect, dominated the former three-time world title challenger Burgos in their recent clash. The impressive feat has many fans and media members alike clamoring for Haney to be in contention for a world title shot.
“I believe in my skill and speed, I am second to none,” said Haney. “I’m the next superstar in the sport. Lige nu, I am focused on each and every fight. The media and fans can bring up exciting fights for me to take or even mention my name amongst world champions, but the main goal for me is to focus on the fights presented in front of me.”
Haney, who is not just a world title contender, but also a promoter, who promoted his fight last Friday night on Showtime under his promotional banner, Devin Haney Kampagner.
“I am doing things differently than others my age,” Hany fortsatte. “I am a promoter and a world-class fighter, so it is important that I stay very focused. I’m knocking on the doorstep of a world title. My time is coming.”
Dkp DON KING & BERMANE STIVERNE FILE SUIT AGAINST ALEXANDER POVETKIN & WORLD OF BOXING IN COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT
Deerfield Beach, FL (Oktober 4, 2018)—Hall of Fame boxing promoter Don King and heavyweight contender Bermane Stiverne hoped to settle things in the ring in Yekaterinburg, Russia with former Olympic gold medalist Alexander Povetkin on Dec. 17, 2016.
Stiverne never got the opportunity in the WBC heavyweight eliminator that morning, when WBC officials announced Povetkin had tested positive for the illegal substance ostarine and the WBC pulled the sanctioning and the fight was cancelled.
King and Don King Productions and Stiverne will now settle things in court as they have filed suit for $2 million in the Court of Arbitration for Sport against Alexander Povetkin and the World of Boxing.
Don King Productions and the World of Boxing came to an agreement on Nov. 6, 2016 for the WBC sanctioned fight between Stiverne and Povetkin scheduled for Dec. 17, 2016 with the winner facing Deontay Wilder.
Both fighters were to receive purses of $1,424,250 and the winner of the fight would have earned an additional $316,500. It was the second failed drug test by Povetkin in a seven-month period.
Stiverne hopes to return to the ring to fight for the world title again.
“Povetkin and Ryabinsky can’t play by the rules of the WBC and VADA,” said King, “and they denied Bermane the opportunity of a lifetime to become heavyweight champion. All the hard work leading up to the fight and then waking up the morning of the fight in Russia and being told that there wouldn’t be a fight is devastating.”
