Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios Takes Another Hit With Failed Drug Test

[BattlingNelson]

From the 'unofficial' thread:

Glad that he was caught. Now he needs a fine at about 50% of his purse and a minimum of 1 year suspension to make this work as an effective deterrent.

and this is the first time ariza has been a PED guy?

my ass.

he had roach's gym on gear. now he's got garcia's gym on gear.


boxing is a dirty sport. somebody is going to blow the top off of everything in a few years. tons of your favorite fighters are on the gear. it's too bad there aren't any real journalists left in boxing, or it would have already happened.

I'm tired of these dietary drugs being banned. It obviously does not help Rios become a better fighter so what the hell? Unless it's a masking agent or something. I don't know much about banned drugs but this is ridiculous, they should let fighters take dietary drugs to make weight as long as it is not a masking agent.

The problem with this substance (DMAA) is that it constricts the blood vessels, which in turn raises the blood pressure. It has been connected to causing heart attacks. That's why the FDA has tried to get companies that put it in their supplements to stop. That's also why it is banned in boxing. If Ariza gave this to Rios, he put Rios at risk and should be fired! I'm sure he's getting paid a pretty penny as a "strength and conditioning trainer". Anybody who works out should know about Jak3d containing DMAA and how it's caused heart attacks! What are they paying you for, Alex? http://www.fda.gov/food/dietarysuppl.../ucm346576.htm

[boxingfeind]

Ariza use to work with Pacquiao and as soon as pacquiao was about to take a random drug test,Roach ask Pac-juice to fire Ariza,hmmm.I doubt that` s a coincidence.

I have worked with Brandon many times as a nutritionist. He has poor self-image and refuses to even take his shirt off without Hydroxycut. Please understand that the only way he would enter the ring is with this supplement.

We have worked to remove all issues of US Weekly and People magazine from his house, but it is hard. I have found him up late at night catching up on "who wore it best?" and "guess whose cellulite this is?". We are working to explain to Brandon that he is beautiful in his own right, even if he is a little pudgy.

Please be kind, he is a sensitive man. Specifically, please don't mention anything about his upper thighs. He is very insecure.

Thank you all.

Another gem dropped by this ATG.

I'm not, these dietary drugs allow certain cheats to make a weight division and prey on smaller fighters. If you can't make a division, without the assistance of drugs, fight in the appropriate weight class or suffer the consequences of trying to drain yourself.

What? Of course they should be banned!

The ability to remove water from the body can cause a rapid weight loss that can be required to meet a weight category. Imagine one boxer that spends his entire camp on sparring and improving his technique, yet he's 20 lbs over a couple days or day before, so he takes a diuretic to make weight. While the other fighter is not only sparring, but also cutting weight. One fighter is having to cut into his sparring session by also worrying about cutting weight, the other is completely avoiding cutting weight while just focusing on sparring. The advantage is obvious. It's a short cut to avoid cutting weight and therefore spending time on training. If that's the case, then fight in a higher weight class.
