Another fighter will probably fight against Victor Ortiz instead of Andre Berto

The WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto tested positive for Nandrolone. The Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) conducted the drug testing.
 This boxer had to meet Victor Ortiz on June 23, 2012 in Los Angeles. This boxer agreed to submit to random drug testing before the match. Both “A” and “B” urine samples indicated about administration of Nandrolone.
It was already the second time this month, when the VADA tested fighters and caught them utilizing steroids. The first boxer that tested positive this month due to tests conducted by the VADA was Lamont Peterson. He had to fight against Amir Khan. It seems to be strange that Peterson requested random blood and urine testing. A carbon isotope ratio test conducted by the VADA demonstrated that exogenous testosterone was in system of Peterson certain weeks before the match.
Financial position of certain companies was affected due to tests conducted by the VADA. For example, Golden Boy Promotions lost essential potential profit due to Lamont Peterson’s positives. It was determined by Richard Schaeffer, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, that the company lost 250, 000 dollars.
The cancelation of the fight between Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz will probably not influence greatly on financial position of certain promotional companies because another boxer will possibly replace Andre Berto and will fight against Ortiz.
As for the fighter Andre Berto, he didn’t provide any explanation for his positives. This boxer hired the attorney Howard Jacobs who would represent and defeat him.
Andre Berto claimed that he had never administered steroids. Thus, he claimed that he investigated with his attorney what could lead to positives for steroids. The fighter Andre Berto concluded that he had never cheated; he achieved success in sport due to hard workouts and dedication.
The attorney Howard Jacobs represented many other sportspersons that turned out to be victims of contaminated dietary supplements.
It is confirmed that since Nandrolone has quite long half life and it is detected easily, it isn’t widespread among those who dope. But it has been manifested numerous times that some dietary supplements contained the compound nandrolone that caused positives for steroids. But since sometimes not each compound is written on the label, sportspeople become victims of contaminated sport supplements.
