Kid Galahad drug ban

Just seen a post about this on Facebook, apparently his brother has admitted to spiking his drink but Galahad has still been found guilty, the failed test was taken in September.

Explains why he hasn't been fighting then.

Nice excuse

What drug is it first? I hope its not rohypnol otherwise he'd have worse problems than not being able to fight!

Unbeaten prospect Kid Galahad has been banned for two years for failing a drugs test.

Galahad, who has won the British and Commonwealth super-bantamweight titles, tested positive for the banned substance stanozolol, which was used by Ben Johnson in the 1980s.

A distraught Galahad has protested his innocence and claims one of his protein shakes was spiked with the steroid by his brother Mageed because of a row between the pair.

Mageed confessed to UK Anti-Doping when Galahad's case was heard, but officials have still hit him with a two-year ban from the date of his failed test back in September.

Galahad fears the suspension could destroy his promising career and says he hopes to appeal.

If its true, what a little bastard

Galahad, 25, was found guilty of using the steroid Stanozolol after traces of the drug were found in a urine sample given last September.

The National Anti-Doping Panel has handed him a two-year ban that runs until September 2016, but he is appealing against it.

The former European super-bantamweight champion claims his brother Mageed tampered with one of the drinks after a "disagreement" between the pair.

Mageed - currently in prison for other offences - signed a sworn affidavit to the National Anti-Doping Panel confirming he had put the drug in the drink but they still found Galahad guilty.

My drinks have been spiked for nearly thirty years...

Still Elvis was Kid Galahad and he took plenty so lets forgive him !!

Worst excuse ever!

Unreal. You got caught end of story take the ban and urine off

Pathetic excuse.

Mistake was getting caught...

This excuse will get you nowhere even if true.

Getting you bro to take the rap will not go down well

nobody will spike your drink with Winstrol (street name for stanolozol)

He was using steroids and got caught. Lame excuse for a drugs cheat!

Shame on you Barry.

Seldom hear of British athletes failing tests. Usually it's the yanks who we hear resorting to cheating.

Perhaps British Athletes aren't tested as much??

Well, not Christine Ohorugu anyway...

More seriously, actually UKAD carries out a lot of tests including a high proportion of OOC tests, and there is some truth that British sports people are cleaner than many other countries. Obviously there are some drug cheats, including some of very high profile, and those who want to cheat have access to the best knowledge on how not to get caught, but our sporting culture has never been tolerant of drug cheats, unlike many of the European countries where cycling has traditionally been a major sport (a sport where drug taking goes back as far as the sport does), the US where a 'win at all costs' attitude carries the day or the former Eastern Bloc where state sponsored doping happened for 40 years.

Kid Galahad, Elvis just left the building.

It wasn't his brother...

It was......... The Oyster barman------In the bar---------with the Viagra.....(Col Mustard is innocent)

Don't be too hard on him..

He can't have been taking them long term, dude has less meat on his body than I have in a average sandwich.

It tends to be used for cutting, or maintaining a lean body mass, so it fits perfectly for him Huw.

That makes more sense, saw the Ben Johnson link and thought he was trying to have a similar physique.

If his brother did this it would be a dreadful revenge, ruining his career over a family row...

A lot of people don't understand steroids......They are certainly only of use If you put the hard work in...

Deca, winstrol and primo used to be the cutting agents of most pro bodybuilders back in the day.....

Primo being the safest as it doesn't aromitize...........Schwarzenegger loved this drug..

Not easy to get quality primo these days though..

I used to cycle Test Cyp and primo............Great combination.......Though only for experienced bodybuilders....Certainly wouldn't advocate their use..

Never tried winstrol which used to dry you up pretty bad....Not to be used If you are worried about keeping your hair....

I'd be surprised If there were many non heavies back in the 80s who didn't use these and diuretics back in the day.....

So i won't be too hard on this guy..

Thing is though Truss we aren't in the 80's.

I like KG (is he famous enough to pull of just initials?) and think he's a talented lad but this is a real dumb ass thing to do in his position.

Because a c*nt like you used to take steroids too it is OK?

I said it was okay did I ??

Now you've had your usual one line hit......See ya !!..

Pretty much. It's your usual contradictory bullsh*t. It was nice that you managed to get an 80's reference in there though.

You're right I am being contradictory .......I've always advocated taking steroids on here.........One only has to look at the posts above you to see that......

Moving on...

Winstrol is supposedly sore on the joints. It dries you out a lot. That is why a lot of people use deca.

Athletes would be mad to touch deca as the detection time is well over a year.

You aren't supposed to know these things Adam...........

Trottb now thinks you're a c**t .....Can you live with that ??

I do a lot of reading!

Nick Halling tipped him to beat Frampton, maybe he had the inside track?

I'd question whether halling knows where the track is, never mind whether its inside or outside.
