wow floyd mayweather is looking like a genius these days lol. all athletic comissions in the u.s. should make blood testing a requirement for all fights. there will always be cheaters out there!

Yea, we should root out all the sick people.
Omar Henry and Danny Jacobs should get kicked out

the fight is minor....his health is major...hope he gets better...screw the fight!!!

Even if it is medically related this is still him failing for a banned substance correct? Or did he have like an abnormal cell count in his blood or something?

It's a blood disorder, he failed the physical. Not ped/drug testing.

Damn now mike lee is off the card also who the hell is gonna replace these guys. This is not good for a card that was suppose to be good. Now i feel a little cheated

This has NOTHING to do with PEDs. He has a medical disorder.

so the blood test had nothing to do with detecting banned substances?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

The goal of this fight was to lead to the potential matchup with Donaire. Gotta feel bad for Rigo. Be nice if there was a late replacement. Tests like these should be confirmed two weeks before a fight so that a late replacement could be considered. It makes no sense that a fight is cancelled at the last minute unless this guy caught a disease the last minute.
