Comments Thread For: Schaefer Says Finger Should Not Point at Alex Ariza

[Nightfall]

its pcquiao's test. they needed somebody else to blame. no better person than the opponent

[BuckToothed]

I see a lot of people coming down on Rios like hes the devil over this and calling him a cheater and please don't get me wrong, im not defending anybody using banned substances but im reading some of the comments and I have to wonder how many of the people making them are fans of other fighters who have tested positive for something before.

I mean a cheater is a cheater right? Taking any banned substance is cheating so I got to thinking who else has been caught whether its an over the counter banned substance or ******* or some type of performance enhancer and a lot of them are well respected fighters to this day, off the top of my head there is Fernando Vargas, Berto, Holyfield, RJJ, Vitali Klitschko, Mosley, Lamont Peterson, Tarver, James Toney, Pernell Whitaker, Mayorga, and Mike Tyson admitted to using a fake penis to cheat drug tests.

Im sure there are a lot more and again, im not defending the use of banned substances for anybody but the point is for the guys who are coming down hard on Rios you should take a look at some of the people you support as well before commenting and coming off as a hypocrite.

Rios PED obviously didn't work for him since he got the thrashing of his life over 12 rounds, which is punishment enough.
Most of the arguments are actually being focused on Pac and that somehow this incident is proof positive of him being dirty.

Those Chinese are sneaky sneaky.

wasnt brandon rios working with Angel “Memo” Heredia right before they brought in Ariza

If it were the Chinese....

....Rios would have had lead poisoning or some asbestos related disease. Ariza is a punk.

Ah yes, I get it....nobody EVER knows when they are taking PEDs. He's been boxing how long professionally? He's dirty.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Of course not, because he's also the s&c coach for Maidana. If he weren't, you'd be smearing his name all over the place and suggesting Pacquiao is dirty too.

This right here^^^^^^^ and also look at how many GBP fighters have failed tests, berto, peterson, morales, etc...

Not sure what you are going on about really, didn't my post say im not defending anybody who takes banned substances? Pay closer attention to what you are reading before you quote it and comment.

[HardSciFi]

Schaefer is full of it here.

Gee Richard, the reason why people are so hard on Ariza is because he's always immediately lying when something happens. He said that the test was likely a result of some over the counter non PED. It sounds like it was a banned stimulant to me. Ariza is just so full of crap every time they talk to him and that's why it is fair to blame him. If he's blameless, he should stop responding with ridiculous lies every time people ask him what happened, and perhaps more people would trust the guy.

Im not talking about trolls and people using it because they somehow think it fits their agenda of bashing another fighter but the ones who say cheating is so bad when its Rios but its ok when its a fighter they support, wrong is wrong no matter who it is.
