Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Fails Drug Test, Deontay Wilder Fight in Doubt

[Dle]

Wilder didn't want it, the WBC didn't want it either. Ortiz may take the title overseas and ruin the biggest fight in the heavyweight division with Joshua.

Just high blood pressure meds for the old man. Looks like a false alarm.


War KING KONG baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heres an issue : the WBC gave Pedvetkin a chance for Meldonium, then they gave that idiot Stiverne a pass because his ****** ass said he took a 'Energy-Drink' for the reason of his failure in the VADA program in lead to facing Pedvetkin ; Pedvetkin then failed his second VADA test in the same training camp for Stiverne-- I'm like COME ON! enough with these MF! these HW act like babies! you don't see the flyweights taking special vitamins to grow!

Boxing needs to permanently ban repeated offenders, I dont even care anymore if he got a doctors note...I'm done.

Then we can have only fighters the size of elementary school boys. Great. Testing is as corrupt as boxing decisions if not more so and VADA is Vegas based figure it out.

If Wilder actually does want to engineer a fanbase and some hype, instead of completely canceling the fight or fighting another no name, how about this... I bet Alexander Povetkin's schedule is relatively free right now, and he's also cleared to fight again after VADA's screw up over the legal amounts of meldonium in his system... how about call out Povetkin to replace Ortiz, if Ortiz isn't cleared?

Not that Povetkin is a proven elite heavyweight post-meldonium ban either, but at least that would be something. It would look good on paper. I mean, it's about time Wilder stepped up to the level of a guy who got knocked down like five times and shutout by Klitschko.

Lol Im just playing, it really would be a good step up for Wilder, and a decent way for him, and Showtime, to save the date... What do y'all think?

lol what is the WBC and VADA playing at?? ..... Losartan is your run of the mill everyday anti-hypertension medication. All the Wilder fan boys getting super excited, your boy is still going to step in the ring with Ortiz.

Wilder's management seems to be pulling VADA's strings whenever they want to duck someone.

If Las Vegas based VADA says so it must be true? The Vegas boxing establishment is 100% crooked and drug testing is 100% corruptible. We will see if Wilder chickens out again because of .0001 nanogram of non steroidal pharma that would give zero performance enhancement. Wilder is protected occult establishment same as Joshua, Ward, Mayweather etc, Ortiz is not.

Ortiz has admitted using it, so please stop blaming Wilder.

Fight is still on guys!

Hell yeah son

It's also diuretic and used as a masking agent for other PED's.

What kind of banned substance is it this time? is it necessarily a PED or could it be something minor? maybe something in a medication or so. I'll reserve my comments until all the facts come out. They have all kinds of weird stuff on that banned substance list, stuff that we come in contact with the whole time, but given Ortiz' history it's not looking good.
