Multiple sources have confirmed that an "A" sample taken from Dillian Whyte tested positive for one or more banned substances prior to Whyte's July 20 fight in London against Oscar Rivas. Although Whyte is in the World Boxing Council Clean Boxing Program which is administered by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), the test in question was administered by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD).

The positive test result is believed to have come back on July 17. A knowledgeable source says that it was reported to the Whyte camp (including promoter Matchroom Boxing) and the British Boxing Board of Control by UKAD prior to Whyte-Rivas. However, the BBBC allowed the fight to proceed as scheduled.

Under rules in place in the United Kingdom, Whyte has a right of appeal. UKAD takes the position that, until the adjudication process is over and due process is complete, there has not been a finding that a fighter is in breach of its PED protocols and no sanctions can be put in place by the British Boxing Board of Control.

The adjudication process often begins with the testing of a fighter's "B" sample, which can generally be done in 24 to 48 hours. But it often drags on for more than a year. The National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP), an independent entity, is responsible for the final adjudication of PED disputes.

Whyte-Rivas was for the World Boxing Council "interim" world heavyweight title. Whyte weighed in for the fight at an unusually heavy 259 pounds and was knocked down in the ninth round but won a 115-112, 115-112, 116-111 decision.

Under VADA protocols, the positive test result would have been reported to the World Boxing Council and Rivas camp. That appears to have not been the case in this instance with UKAD.

By virtue of his win, Whyte became the "mandatory" challenger for Deontay Wilder's WBC heavyweight crown. In all likelihood, the WBC would have withdrawn its sanction of Whyte-Rivas had it been aware of the positive test result prior to the fight.

It has been widely speculated that the WBC will elevate Wilder to "franchise champion" status, thus eliminating the mandatory requirement that he fight Whyte. This latest development might further complicate Whyte's path to a fight against Wilder.

Editor's Note: Whyte previously served a two year ban, from UKAD, after testing positive for a banned substance in 2012.

Haaaaaa

Second time h he has popped

Let's see what supplement he tries to frame this time
 
Wasn't Eddie Hearn just shit talking Americans for how allegedly lax they are on PEDs? Hell, he was even flinging shit at Pacquiao.
But all this time he knew that Whyte had popped for PEDs. They didn't notify VADA, they didn't notify the WBC who would have likely pulled their sanction, they didn't even fucking notify Oscar Rivas who is the one who had to fight against Whyte that night. They just let the fight happen.
 
Well, fuck you Whyte.

Second time being popped also. Bad news.
 
We'd probably see lot more of that if all boxers were VADA tested.

Yep and also insinuated that PacMan needs to enroll in extra testing to prove he’s not on the juice.
 
UKAD is a fucking joke. First with Tyson Fury pissing hot ahead of the Wlad fight, and now Whyte pissing hot prior to this fight.

If you know they are on the juice prior to the fight the obligation should be to intervene BEFORE the fighter is allowed to cash the cheque that the fight brings.

If you don't/can't enforce, you should not bother testing.
 
Another HW fight people would really like to see probably scrapped for a long time.

Wonder who they put in front of Wilder now.
 
Whyte's dropped a right bollock here, but will await to see what he's popped for before I diss him.
