Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Luis Ortiz Will Not Be Suspended, Retains His Ranking

[Ake-Dawg]

Lmao wilder fans are bricking it on here now

Why? Ortiz still isn't cleared to fight for the WBC due to health concerns and he is not a mando.

[Bronx2245]

The WBC is an absolute mess! If they weren't going to suspend him, they should've let him fight Wilder instead of Stiverne!

High blood pressure medication. lol. It's amazing how many asthmatics and fighters with 'high blood pressure' there is. Who would have thought that so many elite level power athletes would have the same medicine cabinet as an 80 year man.... Ffs just bring in the mma drug rules and be done with it already. Specifically the 4.1 rule where you're basically allowed to pump 4 times the amount of testosterone into you that you would be expected to have.

We're not ******, we all know everybody is taking them anyway including Wilder.

I forgot about PEDvetkin and his all the sudden heart problem??

The NFL and their concussions looks like the common cold compared to boxing and their all the sudden EPIDEMIC heart problems/high blood pressure.

Yeah, this stinks. I might have given Ortiz the benefit of the doubt had this been the first time, but you expect me to buy this garbage after he already got caught and served a drugs ban already? I don't trust like that, no matter what excuse they roll out.

Obviously Suleiman wants to keep his big money fights intact so he can get those sweet sanctioning fees, and figures he can make do with Ortiz v Wilder if Wilder doesn't fight Joshua next.

Every single headline to do with drugs and the WBC has sent a clear message about their stance on cheaters: "We don't really care, we'll help sweep it under the rug and prop up any BS excuse if it means we can keep the cash flowing." I used to think the WBC belt was the most prestigious of the lot, more like the most corrupt.

Me to! Or even if he would come out and show hes listed this in some previous fight?? Or even another legal form??? But he hasnt because he CANT! He was trying to cheat and got CAUGHT!

They're not going to suspend the potential Money Maker for them and lose sanctioning fees but this is ridiculous... all you had to do is declare the medicine prior to the fight and it would have been no issue but being done in an underhanded way.. Vada is a joke..

[Jack_sh*t]

Dip SHT Ortiz C@CK LOVER!!! Show me a link to his high blood pressure before he FAILED a Drug Test for the 2nd TIME??? I'll take 2016 Doctors forms, previous fights, some TYPE of LEGAL form???

I hope you're taking your meds for that high blood pressure & hyper-tension you're displaying.

SO what was the point of us having to see the stiverne rematch

[SUBZER0ED]

Sounds to me like Ortiz's people made an honest but costly mistake. The WBC is doing the right thing by not suspending Ortiz and should follow up by mandating a match with Wilder ASAP. Wilder's KO of Stiverne was a walk in the park. He should be ready to fight again in 6-8 weeks easily. The WBA is biased and sounds as if they are protecting Wilder. How do they suspend Ortiz in their words, "based on a previous failed test"? If the evidence shows that Ortiz's team simply failed to fill out the form properly rather than Ortiz actually took peds, how can they suspend him? This stinks of high corruption.

[TheBigLug]

Ridiculous. If that's the case then why couldn't they have sorted it and let the fight with Wilder go ahead?

Ridiculous. If that's the case then why couldn't they have sorted it and let the fight with Wilder go ahead?

Probably the plan all along, what they didn't count on was the WBA banning him for a year
