Any news on ali funeka?

It's been 7 months since he's been in the ring, nothing on boxrec. Googled him and just get a bunch of old stuff. Is he doomed back into oblivion after giving nate a really tough fight and after being bent over by the judges in the first guzman fight. Would be a shame because his style is a pleasure to watch.

isn't he suspended cause he failed a drug test against Guzman in the last fight?

I believe he is suspended. I'm sure he was caught on testing using some kind of Diuretic, if thats how you spell it....

It seems so

Yeah I had read an article saying he tested positive for diuretics but it kept pointing out its banned by the nevada ac, so I wasn't sure if it's something that's widely banned. Cheating is cheating but if it's something that's not banned everywhere I could see him unknowingly ingesting it. However a 9 month suspension seems rather harsh for that when compared to marg being back in the ring after the plaster scandal after basically a year...Either way his suspenion should be up shortly and hopefully see him back in the ring early 2011.

agreed, same thing happened to Chavez Jr, but diuretics usually are used as a masking agent for other drugs, steroids and what not

wELL i HOpe he's not on any other shit because he's a good fighter and it sucks when you find out fighters you like are on dope. Its rrettty common these days tho now so who the fuck nows, and being dunk at 4 in the morning is fuckin great!
