Former champion wants IBF featherweight title reinstated

By Mack Danife
"I said I never took steroids or any performance enhancing drugs and the lab tests prove it," states Orlando Salido. The saga of Salido continues as the NSAC reviews its findings. After the November 4 IBF title bout in Las Vegas against Robert Guerrero, Salido tested positive for the substance nandrolone in his system. Salido immediately had a follow up test at LabCorp, a nationally recognized blood lab, and the findings were NEGATIVE of any steroids. "It is commonly known that nandrolone is produced by the body, especially in periods when the body is placed in stressful activity like dehydration, diet and strenuous exercise," said a doctor who wishes to be unnamed until formal proceedings. "If Salido had taken steroids, his second test done only one day after NSAC findings would have shown it still in its system. Steroids don't go away overnight!" (More)

It seems most of the athletes that fail tests have failed for nandrolone...I read it is actually still up in debate on how to really judge a negative from a positive in certain cases. There are many ways to increase nandrolone levels in your system.

I am not sure on the technology that athletes have to remove steroids from their system, but at least back in the day it took 12-18 months to get nandrolone out of your system.

Many Labs mess up on tests, so when an athlete fails, even if it is the Labs mistake, it hurts the athlete's reputation.

So what? JMM will boringly beat him again.

Once the Nevada commission is finished reviewing this, there's no reason that Salido shouldn't be reinstated.

As quick as people were to vilify him, they should be just as quick to admit that they jumped the gun in accusing him.

Going to get tested is what you do if you want to clear your name. Makes you wonder why Tommy Morrison just doesn't cut all the bull**** and go and get his suppsoedly negative HIV result and go on a national news station to let everyone know what's up with that.

Salido obviously felt he had nothing to hide, and now it looks as if he really didn't all along.

Don't count on the IBF to do the right thing, though; they've stripped more in the last year than Jenna Jameson.

He only had a title because of Dan Goossen. I just hope taht this development, if completely clarified, doesn't mean that Salido has to go through a series of bull**** eliminators to become champion again, or have to fight Guerrero again.
