Now campaigning as a super featherweight, former 122lb and 126lb champion Juan Manuel Lopez (32-2, 29 KOs) scored a ninth round TKO over Aldimar Silva Santos (18-4, 9 KOs) on Saturday night at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. After a slow start, Juanma staggered Silva in round three and dropped him in rounds five and seven and nine. Referee Luis Pabon waved it off during Lopez’ follow up barrage in round nine. Time was 1:04.
JuanMa v Gamboa could be back on...if Gamboa isn't done for juicing.
Boxing isn't like cycling. If you "never failed a test" (Lance Armstrong's refrain over the past decade) then regardless of what comes to light later, it's very difficult legally speaking, for any commission to impose any kind of sanction against you.Originally Posted by beatdown89
There's no "league of boxing" that can conduct an investigation, gather evidence, and impose punishment.
Like I've said before, the case of Gamboa is a textbook example of why there needs to be a requirement, at some threshold level in the sport where the cost of such testing is not onerous, that fighters be subjected to random testing even when out of the ring.
