Comments Thread For: Uzcategui Tests Positive For Banned Substance, Out Of 11/13 Fight With David Benavidez

PBC just couldn’t let Reynoso occupy the cheating lane by themselves they had to get in.

Damn shame because I thought that would be a pretty good fight.

A cynic might say they need Benavidez to be there for Canelo to stay so they need to make it a little easier for him.

Oscar valdez just popped dirty and the wbc let him slide. They didn't hide it. And they still let him fight and keep his title.

And He isnt even a ppv fighter.

Yes, that's very true and I agree. It does raises some red flags also; At the same time though what he took was legal and not a banned substance but what Uzcategui took was.

Yet VADA is the most stringent of all testing agencies because it's private and independent. A fighter can't so much as a drink a can of red bull without it going undetected because they want your system totally clean.

However, we are talking about PEDS here. Not some type of appetite suppressant in order to help an athlete to cut weight. There was no competitive advantage in that case; In this case there was. He popped dirty for a PED.

But they're fighting here in AZ again! I thought they let you fight anyway here??

Oh wait.... right.... Uzcategui isn't Mexican-American.

You got it! This is not Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr we're talking about here.

Too bad Uzcategui isn’t from Mexico. The Wbc would’ve given him a pass and there would still be a fight.

Someone give this man a cigar….Cohiba, Bolivar, Montecristo. Romeo Y Julieta….this comment earned it

Benavidez is having a ****ty luck, not his fault this time, but there is no denying that some of his "bad lucks" in the past are his own fault.

I doubt it for that substance, that's a straight-up attempt to cheat, not all PEDS are equal.

Cheaters are cheaters and responses to them by sanctioning organizations should be consistent. I know there are levels to what different substances can do, but allowing a cheater to get a pass is never acceptable.

there is an art to taking banned substances, u either do it right or u get caught

i wonder what went wrong in this case
