Luis Ortiz Demands Apology From WBC As He Is "Legally Taking" Blood Pressure Meds

[Baltimore]

Well I hope this is the truth and we still get the fight.

But even if it is the truth, Ortiz and his team are still idiots for not reporting this medicine to the testers from the start.

If this fight falls through because of this then Ortiz and team have no one to blame but themselves

This is all B.S. Team Ortiz knew exactly what he was doing. A prizefighter knows that they cannot take any substance prior to a bout. Not even so much as an aspirin without disclosing it to the proper sanctioning bodies for risk of their tests coming back dirty and having their fight results reversed due to non-disclosure.

[Vinnykin]

It says that the medicines were cleared? Why the comments saying that they didn't disclose the medication?

If it turns out that they have, and, like they claim, the WBC didn't check if they were. Then Ortiz is in the clear. We have to wait for WBC and VADA to respond.

[Shrap]

No way does an experienced pro fighter take this unaware and conveniently forgets to disclose it. Not to mention Ortiz is a proven drug cheat.

Wilder can't get a break. The guy is finally trying to make a name for himself and it keeps falling apart.

A pro boxer who takes blood pressure medicine?

Does he take pain killers for arthritis too?

I'm inclined to agree here, Wilder was in Russia when the fight collapsed, he don't have to face Ortiz and wants to build a unification yet Ortiz has been popped, AGAIN ! Why the fück we should even be wanting Wilder to face this guy in the first place is a fückin joke man, the division simply is the most shallow talent depth in the whole sport.

If Whyte wants the fight give it him, and have AJ vs Wilder next.

He's a cheat, just like the Fury's, Browne, Povetkin, Wach, Wawcyzk, Briggs and every other scumbag in the sport

yeah, said earlier i didnt know what the fuss was about. Didnt realise it was a crime to take a blood pressure medication, some of you were ready to dish out the corporal punishment in the other thread lol.

Why is a man in such great physical conditioning needing bp medication though? Unless he has a real medical issue, it's not a high probability, and a huge red flag in the use of testosterone, and other PEDs. Not like the guy hasn't been caught before right?

Am glad that has been cleared up on here, how about his team make that known to the testing agency or WBC? Am just tired of drug cheats that's all. But was this even cleared up by his team?
