Comments Thread For: Berto's Failed Test: New Details; Good News For Andre

[Elotero]

i had the same thoughts. after reading this article http://www.fighthype.com/news/article12456.html i believe they cannot deduce the ratio in the body from the initial test, and further testing had to be done. this is what i infer anyway because if they didnt need additional tests, and if this is true and if this is the case, they seriously need to look at their protocols and procedures. if berto is innocent they just shat on his image/reputation and have potentially cost berto/ortiz, goldenboy and other investors millions reporting something inconsequential.

This.

VADA needs to work on how this info gets spread to the masses and work on some type of confidentiality. If the tests were so inconsequential, Im sure something could have been worked out privately to go forward but because of hasty reporting and everyone wanting to get the story out first, this fight is now DOA because of all the attention it received.

I guess its all growing pains for now in regard to testing and boxing. Expect more fights to die before they happen.

And the info we get from Gabe on Conte is totally biased. I like Gabe. I don't like him sticking up for Conte like FOX News does George W. You're a reporter. Get the scoop and get it out there. Provide all facts and points of view and let people make up their own minds.

Decimals baby. Learn 'em. The amount found is so low that it doesn't even matter. When we are talking 10^-12 of a gram we are likely talking about contamination.

Decimals baby. Learn 'em.

Decimals or No Decimals it still Don't Matter, If he was Clean then There Shouldn't be Anything in His System that can Compromise the Fight and Make Berto Look like a Roid User.

Dude cheated.... traces were liw at time of test but could of been higher if tested a month earlier..

Finally someone who can see through the BS, the only reason it is a small amount is because his body didn't fully flush it out when he detoxed. He cheated and got caught. Maybe these guys won't cheat and agreed to testing

If the amount was so low that it was below the cut off and not a positive test then it should never have been announced publicly because its not a positive. There are always cut offs in drug testing.

It matters noob. You dont understand **** about drug testing. There are always cut offs in drug testing. You dont want to get fired from work because you ate a poppy seed bagel or someone 20 feet away from you at a concert was smoking a joint do you? Thats why there are cut offs numb nuts.

Everytime someone fails a drug test there's an excuse.

Literally every single time.

Where is the CSAC in all of this? I'm wondering where along the line they set a hearing for this issue? He hasn't been suspended yet that I know of, but I am sure VADA has reported their findings to the commission. So.....whats next. Vada can't make the decision whether to render him fit to fight.

If in theory he will still the substance in his body on June 23, even if minuscule, will CA allow him to compete? any precedence for this anyone knows of

This. Let's see if the commission will declare it legal positive.

well damn GET THE FIGHT BACK ON AGAIN

[Weebler I]

Lol So let me Get This Straight, You Guys are ok with Having the Match Made? GTFO you guys are such Hypocrites! So in other Words it's Okei if they Found a Little bit in his system then its okei to Fight? Regardless If I was Team Ortiz I wouldn't take the Fight , Berto was Trying to Cheat , Now theyre trying to Fix it and you the Fans are Buying it Smh! Boxingscene you Guys gone Soft!

If He Was a Clean Fighter None of that Bull**** would of been found in his system Period!

Some boxing fans are unbelievable on this issue, they'll accept any fairytale they're spun to absolve their favourite fighter or just to see the fight.

Most other sports Berto gets an immediate 2 year ban, lifetime in some cases.

All this is, is promoters trying to save the money and Berto trying to save his career.

he failed the test and thats that.... who cares how low it was, rules are rules same way as getting a speeding ticket, if you're over the speed limit, you broke the rule.. you can sit there and say you're over by 5 miles but you broke the law and same goes for fighters' drug test....

maybe berto will invest money into better supplements so he doesnt have to worry about consuming contaminated ****, was he picking up his supps at the swapmeet????
