David Price..be Positive.

He might have been better off if Thompson and Teper had been clean. Them being filthy drug cheats kinda wiped the slate clean for him and possibly removed the need for him to have a good look in the mirror and face up to his shortcomings.

Price was bordering on cocky about it. They cheated, doesnt count, didnt happen. I killed Joshua in sparring.

Thompson was taking a diuretic, which I understand is cheating but i'm not sure the advantage it would give him, the result should have been overturned, i'm not sure it would have been any different

Teper was taking peds, im sure I heard steve bunce say it was one of the worst failures, which I took to mean he had a lot more PEDs in his system than the vast majority who fail drugs tests, a clear drugs cheat, I would argue that that result could well have been very different

Teper was taking everything he could get his hands on, anything he couldnt take himself he was selling. He at least was committed to his cheating.

Thompson was taking a known masking agent. He says it was for a heart condition but refused/couldnt be bothered to provide any proof.

Its immaterial to be honest. Whether they had a physical edge because of it or not, Price's demeanor for me was one of absolution. He hadnt done anything wrong, it was them cunt cheats. Whilst he's not wrong, there were clearly issues that needed addressing on his part and I think them failing tests and him in a way being given a free pass (getting his ranking back) might have just masked over the situation a bit.

its not really immaterial

teper, drugged up to the eyeballs beat price

and a number of other fighters

would he have even been in a position to fight price? I doubt it, and I don't think you can say he would have won anyway
