Sad news that Big Larry Olubamiwo, aka 'The War Machine' (W10, L3) banned for 4 years for "alarming" multiple doping violations. #gutted

@davidcoldwell apparently so mate. Really like big Larry O so that's why it's even more disappointing.

Not exactly the most surprising person to be caught juicing

Larrys seems a nice guy too, but hardly suprising !

Larry Olubamiwo banned for 4 years due to multiple "alarming" doping violations

As posted by Paul Kelso on Twitter.

Ron Lewis of the Times also states that Larry "admitted using 13 substances over 6 years. Entire career results wiped out."

Orla Chennaoui: "Boxer Lanre (Larry) Olubamiwo suspended 4 yrs after admitting using 13 banned substances, including EPO, steroids and human growth hormone."

Whoops, delete/merge thread please :good

 

[DonBoxer]

I would never have guessed.

Holy shit. :-(

Glad he got a hefty ban though, drug cheats should be dealt with severely.

Was Larry banned by the BBBoC? Could he now look to get licensed under a different body, or is this more far-reaching that the BBBoC?

 

[Barlivia]

Didn't he spend some time over in LA at the wild card? Prob got some good tips over there from ariza :yep

I would never have guessed.

With a degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry too.

Larry vs Danny Williams on the Haye vs Chisora bill?

:lol:

I suppose they dont use common sense in the office where they work out who to test.

Good that he has got the ban he deserves. At least Chisora will have an LBF opponent after Haye

 

[DanielJFiasco]

Surely this is a false alarm? Can't believe Larry has doped. Is it possible he just ate a bantamweight that was juicing heavily and it tainted his results ?

Can't see him bothering to come back once the ban is done. He seemed a nice chap, but if that was him fighting with an unfair advantage then he's in the wrong business.

McDermott KO1 Larry EPOlubamiwo :deal

 

[scrappylinks]

So did he fail a test or did he just admit it?

 

[Vano-irons]

I can't say I'm too surprised. I'm glad the ban is a long one, there is no place for cheats in our sport

Isn't it ironic, fat boxer beats roided up boxer, handily too.
