The WBC reveal statement on the Dillian Whyte drug test situation.


It is common knowledge now, that Dillian Whyte failed a substance test prior to his bout with Oscar Rivas last Saturday.. Despite the failure, the BBB of C, who were fully aware of the revelation, allowed the bout to take place.. The specific substances that Dillian Whyte tested positive for were epimethandienone and hydroxymethandienone, two metabolites of the banned drug Dianabol....

The WBC acknowledged Whyte as its number one mandatory challenger on the merits of the victory, and upon hearing the whispers, have released a statement..

At of the time of the publication of this release, the WBC has not received any notification from anyone about a positive anti-doping test allegedly yielded by Dillian Whyte in connection with last Saturday’s fight against Oscar Rivas for the WBC interim heavyweight championship. The WBC has requested that the BBBofC, as the local, governing entity that oversaw that fight, formally provide any available information to the WBC.
The fight’s promoters contracted the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) to perform pre-fight and after-the-fight anti-doping tests on both fighters. The WBC is not aware that any of the test’s results VADA has received up to now have yielded any adverse findings. The WBC created the Clean Boxing Program which is administered by VADA, and which is a top priority of our organisation.
The WBC will not make any comments about the situation at hand until it receives the proper, formal communication from the BBBofC.
