"Brandon Rios is caught in a lie"

Local Denver (Mike Alvarado's hometown) writer Brandon Spano wrote this artice today questioning Memo Heredia's involvement in Brandon Rios camp: http://milehighsports.com/2013/03/28/spano-brandon-rios-is-caught-in-a-lie/ Cliff Notes: - Rios didn't disclose Heredia working with him - Spano quotes the video in which Heredia says he can't be caught - Spano calls Rios a cheater - Says "if Brandon Rios wins on Saturday night, he will be questioned and doubted by everybody except his super fans. In some circles, his career will be tarnished and ridiculed more and more often." If Rios does win, will Heredia in his camp tarnish the win? I remember whispers when JMM KO'd Pacquaio, but people moved on pretty fast and attributed it to Marquez's superior boxing acumen. P.S. Rios doesn't look like a super hero character after adding Heredia. This was taken yesterday. Spano says "Brandon Rios has had the physique of a 16-year-old boy for most his entire life, so when you see him with a six-pack during Friday’s weigh-ins, you’ll know why." http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk145/daheadache/clip_image001_zps2a851d53.jpg

Heredia has a PHD, you can't deny he has the knowledge necessary to improve the human body. What Heredia knows is called science. You can't compare a guy like Dr. Heredia to a scumbag like victor conte.

Well Rios beat him once, he can sure do it again. Rios did look better on yesterday's weigh-in (compared to last fight), he had abs and had muscle mass in his biceps.

The only interesting thing about this is that he lied when asked if he was working with Rios. heredia is a habitual liar...he lied about making his fighters go through all year round testing, he lied about being more transparent with who he is working with (remember he said he'd give out all the names?), he lied about his real name/identity only to get called out by victor conte, etc..

truth is if you work with a guy that has a history of supplying athletes with designer steroids that are undetectable, your motives for doing so must be questioned.... and any man calling that coach a genius (Ariza) should also be under suspicion... but everyone is innocent until proven guilty... you wanna keep PEDs out of boxing? ban the coaches who have a history of cheating in sports (conte, heredia, etc.) Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

“Designer drugs are composed of several different chemicals that trigger the desired reaction. At the end of the chain, I change one or two molecules in such a way that the entire structure is undetectable for the doping testers." - Angel Heredia this is what we're ****ing working with...anyone who thinks conte is on the same level as heredia is an idiot. conte didn't create **** when he was with BALCO...memo heredia grew up learning and loving chemistry and using his knowledge to make undetectable PEDs...guy is pure scum and is a one man doping team. alvarado better keep this fight on the outside and stay on his bicycle or he's going to get ****ing murdered in that ring...

My question is why is the author of this article so familiar with what 16 year old boys look like to be comparing them to Brandon Rios

No one should be working with that dirtbag Heredia. Disappointing to see Rios teaming up with him. There are countless other S&C coaches out there who don't have this cloud of suspicion hanging over them, and who would jump at the chance to work with high profile, world class boxers. One thing we've learned from other sports is that guys only work with figures like Heredia for one reason.

There's testing in place. Innocent until proven guilty.

as the article put it, why go far and beyond and pick the guy who has been proven supplying drugs, if you are trying to just do it clean? nice read

Shots fired... Ha, Rios seems like the type of dude that would sweat Spano if he saw him.

This whole f*cking sport is suspicious. There isn't a trustworthy figure anywhere. Rios working with Heredia certainly doesn't help lessen suspicion.
