The mirror is saying Tyson Fury tested positive for a steroid last year

[Tam Seddon]

World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury denies steroids claim after traces found in sample - Mirror Online

What do we make of this?

I posted this in the Fury v Klit thread.

Strange one both he and Hughie tested for it but I'm guessing it was a tiny amount over otherwise it would have been pretty big news, as it is its a small story in the mirror.

Maybe more will come out as time goes on but I kind of think it's being blown out of proportion at the minute

I hope they investigate and finds out that this is all a mistake and not true.

yeah, I just re-read my comment and first of all I say its a small story in the mirror and then I say it is being blown out of proportion, doesn't really make sense does it.

I guess I am trying to say that the article is misleading and could be insinuating that it has the potential to be more serious than it is.

Its misleading when it says an anabolic steroid but then says its a naturally occuring subtance in the human body already. The levels were slightly raised as to what a normal person would produce. Well the afurys arent normal people. The are the land of the giants and all look adult by the time they are teenagers.

I dont think there has been any cheating. If you are at that stage in your career would you really use something so old hat? I remember Linford Christie being found using this and I think Dwain Chambers, sprinters in the early 2000's.

If he had been found cheating Klitschkos team would have been all over it.

What would really happen if he was actually found guilty of cheating, whch he hasnt. What would happen to the belts, including the IBF?

Eddie Hearne mentioned that they would be handed back to Klit and he would then be looking to arrange a fight against him with AJ

But what about Joshuas bullshit IBF? Would tha go straight back to Wlad?

"A much more likely theory has recently emerged from the results of a preliminary investigation at Aberdeen University. The findings are that dietary supplements themselves are harmless and produce no increased levels of nandrolone. Exercise alone, too, doesn't cause any problems. But a combination of both dietary supplements (none of which contain a banned substance) and exercise, can result in a positive nandrolone test. The reason for this is still unclear, but one theory is that there is a link between heavy training, the dehydration that goes with it, and their effects upon the components of high protein diets. Until more work is done, however, the 'nandrolone mystery' goes on..."

Nandrolone

Fury doesnt strike me as having the build of someone who uses roids.

Now I wont believe Fury has chead until someone can prove it BUT that is quite naive! Basing opinions on bodyshape.

Saw this same response by people in the states about Rafael Palmeiro, he popped hot only a few months after waving his finger at members of congress.

Look at Tysons body now, it has changed quite a bit since he tested positive, like a man that stopped using. Go to the gym and you will see many soft men. What you have to consider is not the shape they are in but rather the shape they would be in without.

We don't know anything except that they both failed the tests, that part is not being contested. They will have a chance to explain why they tested positive and then people can choose whether they believe them by whether they like them or not. Because that is what is always the deciding factor with fans sadly.

Whoa calm down he hasnt failed any test. They have found raised levels of a substance that naturally occurs in your body and there is research done that proves hard training and taking legal suppliments can raise these levels somehow. Read the link I posted above.

That is a failed test

[SlimTrae]

If James "2tons" Tobey could pop for a substance so can Fury. Seems most people limit roids to be used solely for power, when there are various reasons athletes use substances.

If the levels were over the allowed limit wouldnt he have been banned by now?

All they are saying is they are higher than expected and if anyone actually bothers to fucking read the link I posted, the combination intense excercise and legal supplements can raise nandrolone levels but no one knows why.
