“He’s Got More Testosterone at 39 Than Us Four Brothers Put Together”: Liam Smith Makes Serious Allegations Against Artur Beterbiev’s “Atypical Finding”

Ahead of Artur Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith, the former’s urine and blood samples yielded atypical findings. As a result, despite Callum Smith publicly questioning Beterbiev’s sincerity as a sportsperson, the bout went on to take place.

However, after Beterbiev defeated Callum via a 7th-round TKO, Callum’s brother Liam Smith questioned the Canadian boxer’s atypical findings. And although he could not change the outcome of Artur vs. Callum, Liam could not help but imply there was something fishy about Beterbiev’s tests. In doing so, he questioned the testosterone level in Artur’s body.

Liam Smith publicly questions Artur Beterbiev’s atypical findings after Callum Smith lost

Ahead of Artur Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith, the WBC explained that the former’s samples collected in December had “atypical findings” since they contained raised levels of 5b-androstanediol and HGH. According to WADA, “atypical findings” signify a report requiring further investigation but does not mean the athlete in question has tested positive for a banned substance. However, Callum Smith’s brother Liam Smith raised an eyebrow in public.

“Atypical finding. What the f**k is it really? The damage is done, Callum’s lost. Even if it comes out now as an adverse finding, he was on something. It doesn’t matter. The fight went ahead and he got beat. If he comes out now and fails the drug test after the fight, Callum’s still lost,” said Liam Smith in an interview with Boxing Social.

“What is it? An atypical finding but not an adverse finding. He’s [Beterbiev] got more testosterone at 39 [Beterbiev is 38] than probably us four brothers put together,” Smith added confidently. In this context, one must mention that Liam is only echoing what his brother Callum had earlier implied before the fight. However, Artur Beterbiev branded Smith’s statements slanderous.

Beterbiev called himself “clean”

Ahead of the bout on January 13, although Callum Smith did not directly accuse Beterbieve of using PEDs, he declared Artur’s was “not a passed test“. However, Artur Beterbiev, fighting Smith’s statements, announced, “Let me be clear now – I am a clean athlete.” In addition, the Unified Light-Heavyweight champion stated he never used a banned substance in his boxing career. Likewise, the 38-year-old accused Callum of slander.
