Morales fails drugs test?

That's a load of bollocks, surely they can get the B sample tested before Saturday? Schaefer said he found out on Wednesday. Bet they're just delaying it so they can have the fight and then see what happens.

 

They're releasing the B sample after the fight. GBP know Garcia will whoop him no matter how many drugs Morales consumes, and so they're just saving the event. Just goes to show how corrupt GBP themselves are and that Gabriel Montoya had a good reason to question GBP's contracts with the drug testers.

 

joke - its just about the money isnt it?

GBP ae just expecting Garcia to win anyway and then it will be forgotten about
Can you imagine the fuss is Eric wins now???!!!

 

Nothing like protecting your fighters. A Fighter juices up to the eyeballs, fails a test but the fight goes ahead as they 'wait' for the B sample. He pulverises his clean, weaker opponent and causes him permanent damage. After the fight the B sample confirms he was juicing.

Yep, I'm sure that's exactly what drug testing was invented for.

 

And Golden Boy are 'different' to other promoters and 'cleaning up the sport' :dead

 

It's all PR.

 

It's a joke. Golden Boy were pissed the khan and berto fights got cancelled I imagine if they had their way they would have gone ahead.

Nothing like putting your personal gains ahead of the health of a fighter/sport.

 

Its a pointless rematch anyway

 

yep and if the sample came back clean could shunt Garcia-Morales onto the Mares - Moreno card the following week.

 

There was a big issue Between Goldenboy and the voluntary anti-doping agency before the Khan - Peterson fight because GB were trying to get VADA to notify them of any failed tests first, however this was against their procedure and could not been done without written consent from both fighters.

In the end Peterson sat on a failed test for ages without Goldenboy knowing, which Schaeffer ended up rather pissed off about.

 

I didn't know who was on TBH just read how they were pissed bout khan and berto/Ortiz fights being cancelled.

Very decent card looking forward to it.

 

Clenbuterol

Human use
Clenbuterol is approved for use in some countries, via prescription only, as a bronchodilator for asthma patients.[1] Recently, though, the drug has been publicized for its off-label use as a weight-loss drug, similar to usage of other sympathomimetic amines such as ephedrine. It is commonly used as a slimming aid despite the lack of sufficient clinical testing either supporting or negating such use.

Use as performance-enhancing drug
As a β2 sympathomimetic, clenbuterol has also been used as a performance-enhancing drug. Cyclist Alberto Contador of Spain was banned for two years from professional cycling after testing positive for the drug at the 2010 Tour de France.[4] He was later stripped of the 2010 title of the Tour de France and the 2011 title of the Giro d'Italia.[5] However, CAS found that Contador did not take clenbuterol as a performance-enhancing drug, but probably tested positive due to a contaminated food supplement.[6]
American swimmer Jessica Hardy tested positive at the US trials in 2008. She served a one-year suspension, having claimed she unknowingly took the drug in a contaminated food supplement. Former New York Mets clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski admitted in his plea deal to distributing clenbuterol to dozens of current and former Major League Baseball players and associates.[7]
After finishing fourth in the K-2 1000 m event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Polish sprint canoer Adam Seroczyński was disqualified for taking this drug; and Chinese cyclist Li Fuyu tested positive for it at the Dwars door Vlaanderen race in Belgium on March 24, 2010.[8]
In 2006, San Francisco Giants pitcher Guillermo Mota, while a member of the New York Mets, received a 50-game suspension after testing positive for clenbuterol.[9] In 2012, MLB announced they were again suspending Mota for 100 games due a positive test for clenbuterol.[10]
In 2010, St. Louis Cardinals minor-league shortstop Lainer Bueno received a 50-game suspension for the 2011 season as a result of testing positive for clenbuterol.[11]
In 2011, players of the Mexico national football team were found with clenbuterol in their bloodstreams, but were acquitted by WADA after they claimed the clenbuterol came from contaminated food. FIFA has also claimed 109 players from the Under-17 World Cup in Mexico tested positive for this drug, because Mexican meat is contaminated.[12]
In 2012, Canadian weightlifter Nick Roberts received a two-year sanction after a urine sample tested positive for clenbuterol

 

It's saint Erik Morales so he'll get a free pass from 99% of boxing fans.
