Miller fails test for a 3rd substance.. Sarah Fina claims that the backlash aimed at the fighter is racially motivated.



To update recent reports regarding Jarrell Miller’s positive dope test results, it has been revealed that yesterday a third positive reading was returned from his March 31st VADA test, this time for EPO, better known as Erythropoietin or hematopoietin, a substance used to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of an athletes blood for cardiovascular endurance.. This is the third test failure in a week, Miller did release a social media apology where he came clean about the issue, stating that he “Messed up .” VADA along with the respective governing bodies are expected to issue the fighter with some form of disciplinary action in the coming days..

Although Miller was decent enough to take full responsibility for his actions, a curious response was released today by Sarah Fina, a member of Miller’s management team, suggesting that the backlash aimed towards Jarrell, is racially motivated..

Fina Stated..
Firstly, I do not condone cheating whatsoever, am I upset and disappointed with Jarrell...? Absolutely.. What Jarrell has done is wrong 100%, but what I won't do is turn my back on him.. People make bad choices in life.
With all of that being said, it is hard for me not to think that he is being nailed to the cross because he is an African-American fighter.

A bizarre statement considering that similar heat was aimed towards Saul Alvarez, Billy Joe Saunders, Tyson Fury, Lucas Browne and Manuel Charr in recent months regarding positive drug test results.. Miller did himself no favours in last months press tour, when he pointed an accusing finger at Anthony Joshua, calling him the Lance Armstrong of boxing, quite ironic that one of the substances found in Millers system was a particular drug used by the notorious cyclist..
