Luis Ortiz Suspended For One Year By WBA For Failed Test

[MMALOPEZ]

The sanctioning body has now made it official, as the World Boxing Association's World Championships Committee announced that Ortiz was handed a one-year suspension, and immediate removal from the rankings, due to his failed drug test where he came up positive for chlorothiazide and hydrochlorothiazide.

At the end of the ongoing WBA convention, sanctioning body Gilberto Mendoza said Ortiz's case should help boxing in terms of anti-doping and be taken as an exemplary case so that boxers should be more careful with what they ingest.

In the WBA's resolution, it was indicated that Ortiz's suspension will last until September 22, 2018. Ortiz will also need to stay involved in the WBA's testing program, which is regulated by VADA.

So in a year, Luis Ortiz says he is 38, add in being a Cuban athlete, do the math...............in reality he'll be 43 by this time next year.

Long live, Luis Frankenstein Ortiz .

Good. Finally a real punishment. I guess he can just keep on boxing though and get a title shot from IBF or WBO?

We need a proof of life on @cuban23 to make sure he didn't take the news too badly.

He would probably fight twice in the next year. He will miss one of those fights and then he can schedule another one at the end of his suspension. This isn’t baseball where he’s missing 182 games in a year;s time.

The bigger penalty will be more scrutiny and the fact that he will probably have to stop using altogether. Expect a much less intimidating Ortiz in the future who will blame his man boobs and lower punch output on “inactivity” and “distractions”.

Sickening thing is, it's the fucking second time he's been caught. Do we literally need someone to get beaten to death by a roider before any appropriate punishment is handed out?

When is Povetkin getting banned?

 

[cuban23]

When is Povetkin getting banned?

He's already banned indefinitely by the WBC.

This news is just depressing.

Karma will come back to bite the WBA and WBC.
