Dillian Whyte Tests Positive For Banned Substance

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 In all likelihood, the WBC would have withdrawn its sanction of Whyte-Rivas had it been aware of the positive test result prior to the fight.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.

Should’ve taken the AJ fight

 

[Jonny Ninja]

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.

Yeah it’s all eddies fault lol!

 

[GoldenAzazel]

It’s like wilder is the only top 5-6 guy that isn’t dirty. Everyone else has either tested positive for something or there is heavy speculation that they are.

Joshua and Wilder and Ruiz haven't failed any, have they?

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Should’ve taken the AJ fight

Definitely. If you cheat, you can only cheat for so long without getting caught. He should have taken the rematch before he slipped up.

 

[don't quote me!]

This is whyte's only fight on 2019, the only camp he has done, so likely he might have popped for the AJ fight, although judging by history with UK boxing(UKAD), they would have allowed the fight to happen and gotten their paycheck before anything was said, so I see your point.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Wilder is a real poet.

But ya, hes right.

He'd be right if he didn't contradict himself lol you can't talk about wanting a dead body on your record one minute, then start claiming you care that somebody died and Whyte should be more responsible the next.

Also, maybe he should think about acting all high and mighty when he has drugs cheats in his own immediate family.

Wilder just tried to get attention, which seemingly worked, as people are talking about that quote from him.

Not a smart way to get it, but Tyson was doing it back in 1991 ("If he doesn't die, it doesn't count").

Well then it's probably not best to play the morality card when he's the one actually talking about doing it. It just makes him seem like a massive hypocrite and a moron.

 

[Boxiana]

I guess this throws some additional light on why he turned down the Joshua fight - what a total idiot.

OK so only Wilder and Ruiz don't have any failed tests or heavy speculation behind them.

 

[PUO3]

This really blows. This is the third top opponent we wont see Wilder fight because of a dirty test. Somehow, Im sure some will still blame him.

Apparently in his twisted little mind its ok to chase bodies if you are natural lol. I agree its completely stupid. I cringe every time he says that ridiculous shit.

He can act high and mighty about PEDs so long as he doesnt get popped himself imo.

Eddie will be on the phone to ukad offering crazy money for them to just say it was weed or something.

Huge hit for Eddie to have his two prize pigs out of the equation

 

[GoldenAzazel]

And AJ. If you can't include AJ because a few cheats have thrown baseless accusations his way, then I don't think you should include Wilder who has proven PED cheats in his own immediate family.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Got any proof of that or are you just throwing it out there because you hate Hearn and you're covering your ass, just in case it is for weed?

 

[PUO3]

Ay fuck it. Time for Parker v Wilder.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Ay fuck it. Time for Parker v Wilder.

You'll get Ortiz and then a Gerald Washington rematch, and like it.

Parker is supposed to fight Chisora right? Assuming no further crushing HW upsets or problems, they can still get that done for end of the year or early next year.

I really dont think Fury gives a shit about fighting Wilder again. Id love to see Wilder and Parker have it out.
