Funeka tests positive for diuretics

[ElTerribleMorales]

read this off of ESPN,

"South African lightweight Ali Funeka (30-3-3, 25 KOs), who dropped a split decision to Joan Guzman in a vacant lightweight title bout on HBO March 27 in Las Vegas, tested positive for banned substance following the bout, according to Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Kizer said Funeka tested positive for the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide. Diuretics can be used as masking agents for steroids and are also used to help weight loss. Guzman, of course, was nine pounds overweight for the bout, so only Funeka was eligible to win the belt. The commission will hand out its punishment to Funeka at Friday's commission meeting, but Kizer said he faces a fine of up 100 percent of his purse and a suspension of up to one year."

In what way was Funeka being dramatic?

Anyway, no excuses. You can't use illegal substances. He deserves what he gets.

he was clearly upset at the weigh in, and at first it was understandable from our point of view, but knowing that he was on something going into the fight and act such a way is pretty ridiculous, all i know is my sympathies for Funeka are long gone, that said Guzman is still a piece of shit

Nine pounds over is clearly insane though. A diuretic is going to offer no means of beating a guy who has purposely come in so heavy. But yeah, both guys suck. I just think Guzman sucks a lot more and really should be banned too.
