Lucas Browne stripped of WBA belt

You've got to think that any boxer going into a high profile fight has people who should be taking care of this kind of stuff. Going down the market for a big slab of beef without knowing what is in it in the days leading up to a fight seems kind of reckless to me.

I think the six month ban reflects that he tested earlier and was clean, but equally you've got to put the responsibility firmly on his team's shoulders.

Does anyone remember hearing about what happened to Oquendo when he fought Chagaev in Russia? That's why he was able to win a court case and keep himself as the mandatory when he hasn't even fought since then. I give Browne some benefit of the doubt for that alone.
