Drugs cheat Erkan Teper exposed.


Unbeaten Turkish heavyweight Erkan Teper is to be finally removed from the current IBF ratings, regarding his failed drugs test following his July 2015 knockout win over David Price in a European title fight in Germany..   The results took until December to come to light and Price, who is self managed is bewildered as to why the results were never disclosed publicly sooner and wonders if Sauerland promotions had never pursued the case as aggressively as they did, the tests might have just been swept under the carpet..  By December 2nd, the EBU still maintained the Teper knockout victory over Price would still stand, however the European title would be declared vacant, an outrageous decision, However.... This story gets more interesting..
It was revealed that Teper had tested positive for drostanolone after his win over Newfel Ouatah last June and to date this result has still not been overturned, the commission failed to comment..  These findings are exposing a massive incompetence in the German Boxing Commision..  Following the original dope test failing, the German broadcast network 'Beyerischer Rundfunk' claims that police found Clenbuterol, testosterone, growth hormone and methandrostenolone is a drugs raid on Tepers home in April..  Price himself did some investigating of his own and found out through a good source that the failed sample given by Teper in July contained an outrageously high trace, the highest trace of a banned stimulant the doping agency had ever encountered, which the Commision would have known about within weeks of the bout, yet by September Teper had thus far faced no repercussions and had in fact been pencilled in to face Robert Helenius six weeks later, before pulling out due to an injury..
So here we are a full year later, as of yesterday Teper was still ranked in the IBFs top 10 rankings, and the Price result had yet to be corrected...  However today Price and the EBU have both been assured that Teper's dirty past has finally caught up with him, both the result and ranking are soon to be rectified..  David Price hasn't boxed since the loss last year and is still a little angry about the blemishes on his otherwise impeccable record..   Two losses to American Tony Thompson who himself failed drugs tests following their second bout, yet again a tainted result that stains the Liverpool mans 19/3 record..  Let's hope that the future isn't so lenient on dope cheats in boxing, it's a tough enough sport as it stands..

  1. Why exactly are these losses not showing as NC? This is utterly absurd. Chagaev got his belt back because Brown had Clenbuterol in his system that is for weight cutting and if anything makes you weaker by stripping off muscle with the fat. Teper is doing hardcore PEDs and gets to keep his W's. Really?

  2. I can’t answer that Robert.. I will ask questions though next time I see the European Commissioner, he will know exactly why and I will make a point of straightening this out.. He was taking, dealing, distributing.. scum bag.
