Funeka tests positive for diuretics

[killersheep]

If they would have just fought at Diamondweight, Guzman would have been fine and Funeka could have made weight clean.

See THIS is a situation where I can see a catchweight fight working.

If about a week before the fight one fighter doesn't think he will make weight then both camps should contact each other and sanction something and turn it into a catchweight fight.

But what must be agreed on is that the fighter that makes the call for the catchweight fight not fight at that weight class anymore. Fair for everyone? No one burns themself out on weigh in day and the guy that can't make weight has to move up after the fight

Many, many, many fighters use diuretics to make weight.

Roberto Duran used to use then frequently in his day.

Ricardo Mayorga tested positive for them before as well.

IMO its not a huge deal.

Yes, it is unfair, but it is not as bad as loading your gloves or using steroids.

To be honest I think a lot more boxers use performance enhancing drugs or have, and just have not been caught due to taking masking agents and cycling on and off.

Exactly. Does anyone really believe boxers are taking a chance of getting banned and losing their purse because diuretics help cut weight or because diuretics help mask PEDs? Hmmm, which one is more beneficial and worth the risk.

Damn so many drugs how can boxing authorities keep up. It just seems a lost cause, unless they start giving life time bans to deter the use of them.

only case that i actually would believe that the guy used diuretics to lose weight is Chavez Jr, mainly cause he's known for being lazy in training, cause if he's on PED's, damn he really sucks lol

I didn't mean to suggest that diuretics are masking agents.

Just that more fighters than have been caught use them.
