Comments Thread For: Ali Funeka Fails Post-Fight Drug Test For Guzman Bout

[Laborer]

ad funeka to the dirty list along with the top rank fighters pac,margacheato,and chavez jr. then you have khan and mosley.there will be more.

idk about the list of cheaters, but so long as fighters don't subject themselves to porper testing, there will always be that nagging thought why PAC avoids the random test, is he really clean? don't think so. the proof of his innocence is in his body during training, so don't run away from these test, show the world ur clean!

He took a diaretic big ***ing deal. Some of you people are ***ing drama queens and for all your love of the sport nonsense you spoutyou ass holes are quick to wanna ban/fine every fighter in the world for the most minor of infractions.


Grow the *** up!!!

maybe it s 'minor' because that's the only drug their testing method can detect. if the nevada state had been doing their research they would have used the more advanced method the olympics authority has been using, one of them is random blood testing. civilised people cries foul at any cheating in track and field, and rightfuly so, but boxing, which is a very dangerous sports where people could die from it, is different? fans should demand proper drug testing in boxing as well!

I don't know why these guys use diuretics when they can just get in a sauna with some sweats on. Hell I used to jog off 8 lbs the night before with a couple pair of sweats and a jacket on for wrestling in high school. Could never understand why others used laxatives, diuretics or jolly ranchers and a spit bucket.

It's used as a masking agent as well.

Now he can't complain about Guzman not making weight.

According to the Las Vegas Review Journal lightweight contender Ali Funeka tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide after his fight with Joan Guzman, which took place on march 27 and was televised by HBO. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic on the Nevada Athletic Commission's banned substance list. Fighters often use diuretics to increase their rate of urination, which assists them in losing weight, but the use of diuretics are prohibited by the Nevada commission. [Click Here To Read More]

Dumb mofo. He's had a crap run of things the last few years and this may be the final straw, career over.

Now people will question P-will for fighting at WW.

[Devils Advocate]

So this is how he gets down to 135......

if you keep fighting cheaters eventually you become one

Disappointing, I just hope the ban is not too long. Maybe he should just move up.

[al22tec]

if funeka gets a ban for it and Guzman doesnt for being grossly overweight, what sort of message do we send across?
