I don't get it though, the rules are clear - it doesn't matter where the substance comes from, if it's in you and you test positive for it, you are banned. How can there be argument about that?
Is there a proper report anywhere, I'm curious now.

Sadly the rules aren't that black and white.
My somewhat limited understanding is that nandrolone is like a building block, you test positive from the side effects rather than it per se.Not that I've seen that's what is so frustrating little bits have been leaked and reported on at different times. If you find anything I'd also like a better understanding.

I know, bit weird. It seems like there has been lots of back and forth on the legal front.
Seemed at one point like Fury's legal team were doing it to put pressure on UKAD to end it.
Now I'm not so sure.
@Hamham he retired supposedly after the two postponements... which were due to the suspension. What I don't get is how did he manage to fight Klitschko after testing positive.
The timelines I have read are very confusing. Surely Klitschko has a potential lawsuit in waiting.
Whats safe to say is the whole thing is a massive mess!! UKAD are obviously not 100% sure of their case based on this report. Unless it's just a pragmatic approach or to secure more funding, in light of the doping mess sport is in.
