Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Fails Drug Test, Deontay Wilder Fight in Doubt

[Clegg]

i don't feel like going through all the pages has anyone blamed wilder yet?

Yeah I'd say about 10 posters. And I didn't even bother with every page so probably more than that altogether. I'm not even a Wilder fan but as with the Povetkin situation it's ridiculous for them to blame Wilder for his opponent being a drug cheat.

I am just waiting to hear that Pulev is injured or failed the drug test..

Why are we all so naive, Wilder - Joshua is the big cash fight and no fight that would put this in danger will be allowed.

What is it you think happened? Someone at VADA was paid off fake a positive a drug test by Hearn, DiBella or Haymon? Ortiz has already admitted taking the drugs (he just has a BS excuse for it) so doesn't really seem necessary for anyone else to do anything to derail the fight as he's done that himself without any help.

Because nobody in the top ten is clean lol. That's why they are in the top ten. I'm just being sarcastic, but heck you never know.

I actually don`t think pro boxing is a clean sport. Who believes prime Mike Tyson was clean? Do you think he looked that muscular because of push ups?

LOL, I've taken Losartan for a few years now for slightly high blood pressure. While this is something Ortiz definitely should've notified the commission about (given that it's on the banned list) I have a very hard time believing (from having used the drug myself for a long time now) that the drug is a PED. Different people react differently obviously but I've never experienced any side effects from the drug and certainly never noticed any gains in athletic performance while working out or playing sports (though to be fair I've never been a professional athlete).

It's a bit laughable to me though again, rules are rules so if Ortiz violated the rules by failing to disclose he was taking this drug I guess that's a concern...

Damn what an idiot.

Probably did use. He definitely used coke before his fights. Hell I use to be a power lifter but I never used, just hard work. However I tried speed once with my buddy, lol...I was blasting music and bench pressing for like three hours no joke and it didn't make me bench more, but I never got tired. Lol.

We can say what we want to about Wilder but the guy doesn't duck anyone really. His opposition has been mediocre and awful but when he signs up to fight a good opponent like Povetkin and Ortiz the guys keep testing positive for illegal ped's. What is wrong with these guys? Next thing we know Wilder is contracted to face Joshua and then Anthony tests positive lol. But seriously, this is ridiculous.

[JayCho]

Ortiz is an absolute joke! He messes up every time he is given a chance and then says everyone is ducking him lol

The National Institute of Health found the drug Ortiz was popped for is very commonly used as a PED masking agent:

If Ortiz uses the drug legitimately, he needs to get a TUE (the****utic use exemption) to justify it's for legit use.

Dudes believe they have to get on the juice to beat Wilder. Craziness.
