Northern Irish former two-weight world champion had his say in a short and stern statement on Twitter.
Boxing does itself no favours. There should be no grey areas. If you fail a test you're banned and in my opinion you should be banned for life

Michael Conlan also had his say, taking a similar stance as his former training partner.
What a fucking joke, this sport is dangerous enough without dope cheats. What’s the point of testing?? I say this every time someone gets caught, they should get a lifetime ban but this is boxing and no one really cares. Much more are at it and haven’t been caught IMO 🤷🏻♂️
