blackrican23 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The World Boxing Association has decided to strip Panamanian Guillermo “El Felino†Jones of his WBA cruiserweight title for testing positive for the banned diuretic furosemide in the title fight last May 17 against Russian Denis Lebedev in Moscow, Russia. The Championships Committee made the decision to again recognize Lebedev as the WBA cruiserweight regular champion, however representatives of Jones and Lebedev have been told to negotiate a rematch. Should no agreement be reached, the WBA will call for a purse bid according to Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, WBA Executive Vice President and head of the World Championships Committee. Apparently the B sample was never opened in the case. http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/wba-strips-jones-lebedev-again-cruiser-champ-229048 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo2 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 What are your thoughts on fighters and diuretics lads?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIM Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 duretics can be used as a masking agent for other drugs, Exactly! and if you cannot make the weight it might be wise to fight in a weight class that one can make the weight without the aid of banned substances.
