Browne fails drug test

Good old clen, trouble making the weight?

seems a bit of an odd thing for him to take considering he is a heavyweight, it is usually used by sportsmen for burning fat I thought? Would you need that being a heavyweight.:S
Maybe he ate some cheap beef or something that had been doped up by the farm

Agreed why would a heavyweight with no limits want to take clenbeteral? In Europe you can buy it as a spray could of gone in his water. Over here i think you can only get it in pill form. Poor bastard has to pay himself for a second test

Pretty sure there has been a few athletes in the last few years who have had a positive for clenbuterol and had the test reveresed due to proving it came from contaminated meat(I think the mexican nation football team had a few guys test positive for it).. Farmers seem to use it in some of the less regulated parts of the world to strip fat from their livestock, so I guess it could be that... If that is the case then Browne could be buggered as if he had it in his system then the b test will be positive too and then it will be on him to prove it came from something like that and of course the producers of the meat in many places don't want to admit to doses their animals clenbuterol as in many places it is outlawed :S I think this is headed to a no contest ruling and a suspension for browne, regardless of whether he did anything intentional or not.

That's a shame. Must have gotten into some bad ink. Be a more convincing NC to come if Chageav wasn't pulverized. So Fres has to fight to keep the wba wagon train moving. Hey Ortiz is #1 Now that would just be a licensed homicide.

I'm laughing about someone even suggesting sneaking steroids into Russia. You can get steroids quite literally anywhere in Russia. You don't have to search, just show you are a sporting person by either participating in a sport or dressing as if you would participate in sport and someone will approach you with steroids.

The five Mexico players who were suspended after the first match of the CONCACAF Gold Cup for doping have all been reinstated and cleared

The FMF has determined that the positive tests were a result of eating contaminated meat and that there was no intent to cheat involved whatsoever. When FIFA and CONCACAF agreed to allow Mexico to replace the five players on their Gold Cup roster they did cite the lack of intent to cheat in their reasoning as well.

"It has always been careful (with suppliers of food), but if you want to accept the word accident (relative to clenbuterol positive), we have a good time here. No blame," said FMF secretary Decio De Maria.

This is Russia we are talking about here. They give steroids to their steroids. There entire sports culture given recent bombshells dropped by the IOC is cheat driven. This is a diuretic and not really a steroid so what was the purpose....vanity? They kind of baked their own set up.

Morales tested positive for the same shit prior to Garcia but came back negative in the second test. Now that use I could see but even that remains questionable.

Epo cause cancer though, shitty drug, It isn't that well hidden drug? Many people been busted on it and suspended for life because of it too, not in boxing but bicycle, "cycle" lol

If drugs were as wide spread in boxing as people say they are then surely someone would have spilt the beans by now

Ha, well Paulie has done his best to spill the beans on Manny, have you seen the 10/15 minute video where he just goes on an epic rant about the things that prove Manny is on peds?

Lucas Browne PASSES LIE DETECTOR TEST
Hatton Promotions wishes to confirm that on 15 April 2016 Lucas Browne undertook an independent polygraph test. This is a test often referred to and commonly known as a "lie detector" test.
We confirm that Lucas unequivocally passed the test. He did not knowingly or intentionally place banned substances including the drug clenbuterol into his system ahead of his world title victory against Ruslan Chagaev.
Lucas stated: "I am pleased that the polygraph test confirmed that I am telling the truth. The result is not a surprise to me as I have always said I am a clean athlete, I know I arrived in Grozny a clean athlete and I know I did nothing wrong when I was there.
“It should never be forgotten that I requested the VADA testing for the fight. Whilst the result is not a surprise to me, I consider this test another step towards proving my innocence.
“I remain grateful for the ongoing support of the public, my manager and my promoter. Together we are fighting this injustice”.
The result of the polygraph test also came as no surprise to four-time world champion Ricky Hatton, who has served as Browne’s promoter for the past four years.
“I have been saying since it happened I am 100 per cent behind Lucas,” Hatton said. “The whole thing just doesn't stack up. The results of the lie detector test don’t surprise me at all. Lucas knows he didn't do it, I know he didn't do it and now we have a test conducted by experts that confirms he is telling the truth.
“We will keep going and do all that we can do to prove his innocence. Matters are in the hands of the lawyers and the WBA. I and the whole of boxing hope they do the right thing by Lucas. Boxing needs that to happen to maintain its credibility. The public is behind Lucas because they know the truth as well.”
