Jarrell Miller receives six-month WBA ‘ban’, but can still fight

Jarrell Miller has failed two more VADA drugs tests ahead of his cancelled fight with Anthony Joshua. The American tested positive for GW1516 (a metabolic modulator is also known as cardarine and endurobol) in a VADA test taken March 20. Miller has been given a six-month ‘ban’ by the WBA, however, it doesn’t actually prevent the heavyweight from fighting, as they do not have that power. The WBA can merely exclude him from their rankings and prevent him from competing for their titles, which they will do until September 19. “The Big Baby” was due to fight with Anthony Joshua for IBF, WBA and WBO titles. Following his failed tests, the New York State Athletic Commission refused to licence him for the Joshua bout and so he was pulled from the event and AJ is searching for a new boxer to fight.

“No way Canelo Alvarez hits harder than Gennady Golovkin,” says Daniel Jacobs
