Comments Thread For: Andre Berto Fails VADA Test, Positive For Nandrolone

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

What's good Chiefy??Who would they find that is respectable in this short amount of time tho??There's nothing could be done about this,and Peterson and Berta are to blame...

Aint nothin mah main man Rome. Chillin lika villian mah dude gettin ready for the big move bruh. How you been mah Ace? Kell is itchin to get a big name, so since he's spossed to fight next month, he can scrap that fight and take on Victor. We'll then see if he has what he thinks he has(I think he might be a lil too green for Vic, but it's worth the fight being made, and is a win-win for Kell). For Amir, **** I'd like to see him in there with Mike Alvarado(he just fought what in march, I think, on BamBam's card?)or, Danny Garcia. This is a stretch, but JMM is still there and the money that would be made off that match up would be crazy Rome mah homie. So I think if these matches could be made the dates could be shifted for sometime this summer, which wouldn't leave the networks with completely missed targets. Thats just how ya potna is seein things at this point, we got off to a great year in Boxing, and I want to see it continue on throughout the year.

Wow

Is anyone really shocked by this though?

Alexander vs Ortiz great replacement fight.

[vrodz]

What a dumbass! He blamed Ortiz of doping but all along he was the one juicing.

Nandrolone is an old steroid--been around for ages. I believe Fernando Vargas tested positive for it. Him or James Toney. Oh well, toss another to the waste side. So funny how things change in three years. I think the number of fighters who are still getting away with things (given that, outside of about 8 fights in the US, no one state side is taking stricter testing) would shock a lot of posters.

I suppose if we really want the sport to be clean we will have to put up with disappointments like this for a while, and it just goes to show how far behind boxing is with dealing with drug users.

Golden Boy losing a lot of money. That's 2 major scrapped events in consecutive months

He did bring greater awareness about the issue. I remember about 5 years ago I wrote and thread about drugs in boxing and no one seemed interested. Now it is the hot topic.

But you cannot have a competitor setting the standard and procedure of the testing like Floyd tried to do.

The testers and the commission's need to have the power.

theres nothing wrong with floyd making sure hes got the best possible testing for his fights. its his career and his health, its well within his right. besides hes doing something good for the sport, he isnt setting the standard hes setting an example. a positive example for once and should be given credit.

boxing needs this so badly i dont care how we get there tbh, as long as things are done right thats all that matters. optimal safety and fairness is vital.

and that's the real concern will promoters continue to allow testing as it leaves them exposed.

[sL0]

He most likely took it because it aids in recovery of muscle tendons (bicep).

Victor Conte is known to bring new designer steroids to the market, nandrolone is definitely not his m o.

Berto can't be that ******, just killed a good fight most likely.
