Dillian Whyte: I am completely innocent

Official Statement: I am shocked and devastated to learn of a report by VADA of adverse findings relating to me. I only learned of it this morning and am still reacting to it. I have also just seen that the fight is being cancelled without having any chance to demonstrate my innocence before the decision was taken.

I can confirm without a shadow of doubt that I have not taken the reported substance, in this camp or at any point in my life. I am completely innocent and ask to be given the time to go through the process of proving this without anybody jumping to conclusions or a trial by media.

I insisted on 24/7 VADA testing for this fight, as I have done voluntarily and at my own expense for all of my fights for many, many years.

This is not the first time that I have been reported as having an adverse finding for a substance which I have not taken, and as I did last time I will again prove that I am completely innocent.

In the meantime all I can do is express my extreme disappointment to boxing fans, who will miss out on what was sure to be a great event.

  • Hey Dillian, I dare you to suggest the tests are racially biased! You got busted again and I will be happy if I never see your sorry ass in the ring again.

  • Blah blah blah, everyone is always completely innocent. Guess he can’t use the tainted beef excuse though

    • Why on Earth is no one reporting what he took? That would help if he truly didn’t do it. You could potentially have a positive test for stimulants and be “innocent,” but you fail for juice, there’s not much room for complaining.

  • I hope the rest of the card is still on? I don’t give two shits about AJ vs Whyte.

  • Has any fighter EVER owned up to being a drug cheat? They all vehemently deny it.

  • VADA in 2!
    Take it on the chin and move on, u tried to cheat and got busted.

  • atleast for him winning was more important than money and pride…i guess you can respect that..i guess..

  • Keep listen the guy who gave you methyl products to buil muscle saying in a month they will be out of your system

  • What substance is it about?

    It will be difficult to convince boxing-fans of your innocence. What could it be? That tests have been mixed up? Or like some in the past who got caught for substances in alternative medicines? Or a substance that should not be listed?

    Whyte should at least get the chance to come up with a credible explanation.

    But to read about it was truly bad news and I think it was absolutely right to cancel the fight.

  • Dylan, what reported substance? No said anything specific. You might have just dropped dime on yourself.
