Billy Joe Saunders has failed a VADA test

[Alpha]

So apparently Saunders is not in breach.

I'm not really sure where this goes, if they both agreed to VADA testing then it's a fail.

Andrade needs this fight tho, he can't slip back into the background. But if Saunders is dirty (nasal spray) or not, he's dirty.

Legal out of competition or not, I'm pretty sure you still need to inform VADA of any meds you are taking.

It is quite possible in this day and age something quite legal can contain a banned substance. What billy joe was filmed doing to women was fairly despicable, but certainly no more than what other guys have been banned for in the past. I’m somewhat glad his fight seems to still be on, because no matter what it’s a good fight. I think Andrade is a very good fighter who is being underrated and has every chance to win, as well.

The fighter is still responsible at the end of the day for what goes into this bodies.

I agree Andrade doesn't deserve to miss out on this opportunity, but he does deserve to be in the ring with someone that has followed the rules.

Didn't Ortiz' fight with Wilder get cancelled because Ortiz' team didn't put down his medication?

And I know Ortiz had been busted previously and this is Saunders' first time up, but the scenario is similar.

Oh I’m not pretending be selfless, just saying I think it’s an interesting fight and want to see it anyways. Does always make me wonder what the guy potentially getting fucked over (Andrade here) can do about it though....

[Alpha]

Now this is interesting, don't know if there's any truth in it or not but apparently there might not be any nasal sprays that contain oxilofrine.

What a fukking wanker. Anyway, knowing the type of cloth Saunders is cut from I wouldn't be surprised if he did it on purpose. It must of hit him that he wasn't going to beat Andrade and just wanted out of the fight

BJS has proved he has no class outside the ring , now we find out he is a cheat.
Fighters who fail drug tests for PED should be banned for life and all wins declared no contests.

I was thinking the same 😉 he's already fucked Martin Murray over twice with fake injuries earlier this year because ( I think) he knew he was in a real tough fight and didn't fancy losing his belt.
Lost all respect for Saunders now pretty much.

Another one.
