Dear Bread, I know you have been very outspoken in the past about doping and peds in boxing, curious to get your opinion on the Francisco Rodriguez situation who tested positive for heptaminol which is capable of boosting athletes’ stamina, combat fatigue, boost blood flow, mask other illegal substances etc. ln the gal yafai fight, I was shocked early, although he was clearly the bigger man in the ring, the way he dominated that bout relentlessly and ruthlessly walked forward landing big shots on Galal without any fear for what was coming back and without seemingly  getting fatigued started to make me suspicious and by the end of the bout I had no doubt this man was dirty as the way he fought was simply unsustainable for even most elite clean boxers let alone a 32 year old boxer on the doorstep of journeymen status, He connected on 575/1089 punches that night a record and 969 of those punches were power punches thrown, so overall 528 of 969 power punches landed on Galal who miraculously survived 12 rounds of being brutalised by this drug cheat. We now find out the WBC had initially cleared F/rod of intentionally taking the banned substance, changed the fight to a No Contest, reinstated Galal as interim champ and then ordered him to defend against this Ped cheat again? Am I missing something here? Because as a boxing fan, it makes me sick to the stomach and I feel for Yafai who has probably had what prime years of his career taken away by the beating he suffered at the hands of this Ped cheat. If things couldn’t get any worse in this situation we now find out F/rod tested positive for a banned substance in his previous bout in Texas which was changed to a No Contest, which begs the question why was this guy fighting for a world interim boxing belt his next fight against Galal? Seems like a lot of heads have been buried in the sand here and need to roll but history shows what will probably happen next Rodriguez will serve a one-year ban which is probably one fight he would miss, while Yafai – who I believe had his soul taken that night – will probably never be the same again the physical and mental beating he suffered will last forever. Yours sincerely B
