Comments Thread For: WBC Responds To Rubio's PED Test Claims on Chavez Jr.

[lluisone]

Maybe Rubio is right is not the first time he do it ....there is still time .... Chavez need not refuse to be tested

[Da Boxer]

Wow, this is unsatisfactory.



Another hit on boxing!

Unprofessional by team Rubio to take the matter to the WBC. Maybe JCCJr.'s actions are su****ious, and it certainly appears so, but Rubio's team should have adressed the issue before the fight as a JCCJr. under su****ioun is nothing new.

I dont see how that is unprofessional, WBC you'd think would have a stake in maintaining the legitimacy of their champions. Their statement appears to indicate they dont don feel that is their responsibility. Personally it sounds like a classic case of redirection. Somebody dropped the ball here and one of these commissions needs to address it.

Chavez is a LHW who somehow struggles down to 160. Rubio looked like a 154'er.

Thats the truth. And it's a shame that even tho everybody suspects something fishy theres rarely any proof. And who suffers the most we do cause we're not getting a dime from these fights. WE just want to be intertained and see what hand has been delt our fellow country men. But with all this Peds , plaster , low blows x 20+ with out a point deduction , I was paid to take a fall , We have a split decision 117/110 blue 117/110 blue 115/112 red WTF , take the test. O.K.. 70/30 now. again WTF , It really sucks that we never now when we're being robbed.

They do have a point don't they? It's not the jurisdiction of the WBC but that of the local commision.

I see your point about them wanting their champions to be legit, but those days are long gone frankly speaking.

The controversy continues over Saturday's fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Marco Antonio Rubio. Chavez Jr. won a twelve round unanimous decision over Rubio at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

is it me or is roach and ariza always involed when it comes to peds... not flaming im jus saying.

[josenoway]

Roach was working the corner that night. You'd think it would have crossed his mind when nobody showed up to request a urine sample. Not a good look for him after the whole OST thing with Pac.

Marco Antonio Rubio's team will be filing a protest after learning that following Saturday's unanimous-decision defense of his WBC middleweight title, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. left without providing a post-fight urine sample to Texas officials for drug testing, as specified in the WBC's rules.

After the fight, Chavez "practically fled from the dressing room without leaving a sample" according to members of Rubio's team, as reported by Fight news.com.

When asked about the lapse, WBC president Jose Sulaiman reportedly shrugged his shoulders and said, "we forgot."
RING TV.com broke the story leading up to the fight that Chavez had been arrested on Jan. 22 for drunk driving, and problems for the Mexican superstar continued as he struggled to make weight the week before, by some accounts being five pounds heavy just one day ahead of the weigh-in.

But make weight he did, and then bulked up to 181 pounds on fight night -- mass which he effectively used to his advantage in bullying the smaller Rubio around the ring.

Complaining is rather futile - even if it is a little obvious that Chavez has been getting some help over the past year.
