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

True.

Even twenty-year olds can have high blood pressure. Ortiz is probably genetically predisposed to the condition...,or he developed it from steroid use. That can also cause hypertension/ high blood pressure.

The old man is innocent.

Wilder's resume is starting to suffer more cuz of his opponents bs than his own team cleverly moving him. Povetkin was a legit fight for him. Ortiz wasn't legit to me, but it was legit to the masses so my opinion is overruled, but now that's in the sh^tter too maybe lol.

For all the not sh^t people say Wilder is (& hell I'm one of them who likes the guy, but not THAT impressed with his ring craft) there sure are a bunch of seemingly legit guys who don't wanna fight him with a lil extra measure in place lol.

I wasn't completely sold on Ortiz either but at least he had more going for him than any other opponent Wilder has faced...Stiverne might have been a decent opponent but I was never sold on him either.

Fuck you ortiz, you have only one thing to do, don't test positive again. And what did you do? You tested positive, again.

fuck you

This is such ****ty news. Has Ortiz ever done VADA testing prior to this?

[PunchyPotorff]

This is proof that Deontay Wilder is the most ducked HW of all time! such a monster WOW!!! he should go into the HOF by default - cowards.

HAAA!!!!!!!!!! Oh wow, you must be Moses, and we're reading the Bible as we speak. HAAA!!!!!

Geez bubba, you're quite the drama queen. HA!!!!

"Ortiz and his camp are adamant that his positive test is a direct result of taking Losartan/HCTZ (Hydrochlorothiazide). Losartan is a drug typically prescribed to treat high blood pressure and kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes."

If that's it, then why is it a banned substance? Seems kinda strange. I mean, don't they make exceptions in a case like this? Just asking.

Still, kinda sux for all parties involved.

Why didn't Ortiz just do what Mayweather did and get a retrospective TUE?

Oh wait this was VADA doing the testing and not an organisation that is on the take.

There is nothing"strange" about a masking agent being on a banned substance list. You're trying to find a way to blame Wilder lol.

Or, maybe he has high blood pressure. Easy enough to do blood pressure checks over a week and find out. As for Wilder, right now all the guy can do is whine his guts out over and over. Fight SOMEBODY? Or whine?
