Brandon Rios fails drug test following loss to Manny Pacquiao

[John Barron]

who didn't see this coming? ariza's comments at the peak of manny's ducking of OSDT were shady as hell. many were too thick to realize that and or were deeply in love to admit it.

"Brandon had the genius, Ariza, trying to help him make weight," Bob Arum said. "It is not the fighter's fault. It's the people who are conditioning him. He's following orders on what to eat and drink, so I don't blame him. Brandon's not a nutritionist. It's generally the conditioner's fault if the kid doesn't make weight. This is Ariza's fault.

"The fighter, in my experience, follows religiously what he is told to eat and drink. If he's being advised by people who consider themselves experts, but who really don't know s---, that's when you get in trouble."

what a pr disaster.

I dont think Ariza has anything to do with this. Rios took this **** on his own to get an edge behind his coaches backs.

Anything that stimulates is considered a PED so even drinking coffee before entering actual fight is prohibited. It gives you advantage in energy from a normal fighter without it.

Hmmm make u wonder now.. Pac asked for this rbt against Rios which to me was funny because he said no to you know who(floydevort) but when ariza flipped camps this was a must have or no fight... I'm just saying...

blood testing was already in place on

ariza join rios camp in september.

its good to factor timelines in reasoning.

LOL at all the Floyd fans trying to turn this into some conspiracy against Manny's opponents. I highly doubt Ariza would risk his rep while under strict testing, my bet is Brandon just wanted some extra energy and didn't think it was a big deal.

DMAA is similar to caffeine, only a little stronger. Doubt it really helped Rios apart from making him focus more than he normally would, probably the reason he didn't get KO'd.

In my opinion, ariza don't know this, rios just went ahead and took it maybe.. Think about it, a certified nutritionist would allow that CHEAP cheat trick to happen??? This thing is too CHEAP for a professional like ariza to be involved with and ruin his already shaky name in the sport.

If he's going to cheat to win, there is a more sophisticated way that a professional can secretly administer, probably very very hard to detect too; and will really have an enormous impact and will make great difference to the totality of his fighters performance.

Excellent post, what i see is that rios drink it with out ariza knowing it. Or maybe ariza wasnt aware about the restrictions himself.

And this is the same guy that was "helping" Pacman ready for fights? Hmmm no wonder they didn't want to do random drug testing.

Pacquaio a side meth didn't come from Ariza. This a side meth is so powerful that any bullet you fire to the person taking this the bullets will just bounce off on their ass. For more information, you can ask uncle/father Mayweather about this. They know about this and this was te mean reason why they are scared of Pacquaio.
