The card is still on though, and they are going to find a replacement for Ortiz I guess. I was hoping Ortiz would now be an Amir Khan option for July 7th but it doesn't seem like that's happening.
Floyd's OSDT crusade is ruining boxing...all these fights cancelled. People in the business will not be getting their checks all because of this witch hunt. Trainers, staff, event workers, vendor, etc, etc...all LOST revenue
what a shame. I thought we were in the entertainment business. I thought this was about making money
Get rid of this testing nonsense and let these brothas roid up. What difference does it make if they are on or off, they are beating each others brains out for money anyway
Moronic post of the month. Congrats.
Kamegai-Ortiz would make a great fight, sadly no one is thinking on that.
Hell yeah I'd give Kamega a GREAT shot at the upset.

You sir a the closest I've ever come to red K-ing someone. I have no problem with people using roids to look good, but if a sport bans them, than you are cheating by taking them. I'm very mad to see the two fights scrapped because of positive tests, but I'm not mad at Ortiz or Khan. They played by the rules and their opposition hasn't. If anything, I've gained respect for Floyd for showing that there are more fighters than we though taking stuff.
P.S. I used to be big into body building a few years ago(5-6), and I am aware that there are supplements that are legal but will make you test positive, but it wasn't hard to find that out, heck they said that on the website selling them. Also while I havent kept up with the supplements all those were banned years ago. (M1T and 4-Ad are the main ones I remember.) I mean seriously if a amateur body builder was willing to do enough research to find out what was legit and what wasn't I expect a pro boxer to do even more.
Gamboa Rios, Peterson Khan II, and ortiz berto II...Some of the best matches all fell through. its disgusting.
my conspiracy theorist wheels are turning :lol1:
lol-what happened to the people who's angle on random PED testing was "nobody gets caught doping on randomized testing,hence it must be ineffective and a cop out"....this is 2 decent names in boxing who have just been busted like a cherry....in just one weeks time!
I hope Pac takes VADA, USADA, or any other form of randomized testing so the truth comes out (whether he is clean or dirty).
I never thought for one minute that Lamont or Berto would be doping-imagine how many others are...

Yeah, I'd rater the fighters put their trust in honing their craft skills rather than trying to take shortcuts. There is arguably less entertainment now that there was when nothing synthetic was around...that might be an opinion, but there is researc out there saying that there are less KO's now than every before, so the roids arent doing a damm thing but undermining.......i;d rater them just take a shot of alcohol or a line of coke before the fight but spent a all the time in gym perfecting their style
Putting Khan and Ortiz on the same card in separate bouts with Soto/Matthyse would suffice for me...i guess I am too cynical to think they would ever do Khan/Ortiz under these circumstances
lol in your dreams

If the link doesn't load for whatever reason, just type in ANDRE BERTO in BING and the story is right there in the breaking news articles. Not sure why it won't load.
