Billy Joe Saunders has failed a VADA test

[Alpha]

Whichever way this substance got into Saunders body should be irrelevant.
They need to be rock solid against any performance enhancing substance and ban anyone with anything illegal in their system.
Professional athletes/trainers must know what's what in this day and age.
You can't ban one Athlete but not another for having the same drug in their system.
He'll get away with this because the rules say he will but he's able to train & recover better than a clean fighter by using stimulants again because the rules say he can.
VADA are a fucking JOKE and in effect encouraging fighters to take PED substances
Because it's "ok" as long as it doesn't "flag up" on the day of the fight.

The UKAD at the ones saying its ok out of competition, I think it's completely banned by VADA.

Official VADA rules -
Oxilofrine (a stimulant) is named as the culprit, which is on the VADA watchlist but is stated by official rules must be flagged on the day of the fight.

So as long as they're "made aware" by fight day and believe your story (accidental) your ok to fight.?

What also amazed me is that there's two anti doping outfits here with conflicting views on what substances are banned and what substances are ok.

It's such a grey area it's a Joke and more so in combat sports where the risks to the clean fighter are massive.

Cheers for that, so it will be down to why they weren't they informed.

Yep testing is a bit of a joke really, and if you're only going to get a 6 month ban, it's useless really.
