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

[Eddy Current]

Well, if Ortiz is out due to PEDs maybe they could call up "Minnesota Ice" Joey Abell to fight Wilder!

Well I did read on here that Ortiz is actually 48 years old. If that is the case he would need everything just to get up in the morning LOL. I feel bad for Wilder though. This is twice he got screwed over.

Lol that's funny. But it's true bro! In fact not only is Luis Ortiz 48 years old, because they lie about their ages in Cuba, but it turns out Guillermo Rigondeaux is actually his father, which makes Rigo like 65 at least. But it's also crazy historic, because not only are each of them individually #1 and #3 oldest world champions of all time, but they are also the only father-son duo to hold world titles simultaneously where both are past the age of 30 years old. Incredible!

Huge shocker that Luis Ortiz would take drugs.... lol

Dam that's disappointing doe

EDIT: Turns out it was for blood pressure medication? That's even less surprising given that I heard Luis Ortiz was 137 years old

GGG has a better resume than Wilder by far and you on Wilder's nuts and hate Golovkin. I like them both but find it funny with a guy like you and others on this board.


Ortiz has a chance and he goes and ****s it up. Shame!

The guy that just drew with a career welter/super welter that had never fought an actual MW? Same guy who went life and death with Jacobs? Sorry but I don't think Jacobs is anywhere near P4P material.

Wilder has had 3 opponents in a row fail drug tests, Povetkin, Ortiz, and that tune up. He's clearing out the division without even fighting, his opponents all feel the need to cheat against him.

Is this geezer going to be allowed his blood pressure medication in the ring? but hes worried about his health doe.

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

Of course this ho would make it seem like it's Wilder's fault somehow when other people fail tests. In his opinion it's more likely that Wilder has orchestrated a conspiracy than it is that two old men would put anything questionable into their bodies before one of the biggest fights of their respective lives.

Luis Ortiz already explained the source of the positive test and in no way doubts it's accuracy.

Likewise Povetkin did not deny taking Meldonium either and did not suggest that the test was inaccurate. His defense had to do with the tests inability to specifically indicate when he had taken it.

If he has VADA in his pocket, why are the people who test positive admitting that the tests were accurate?

Jesus...Wilder gets screwed by another cheat. Disappointed in Ortiz who I thought had a real shot here.

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.

It's not a PED, but it's a diuretic and masking agent which is why it's banned. Ortiz probably won't get a ban if he can prove medical need (high blood pressure) for it.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]
