Oscar Valdez Statement

My people,

I have never used banned substances to enhance my performance. I have never done it. I have been respectful of the anti-doping rules since I was an amateur, Olympian, and now professional.

Since I became world champion in 2016, l have been VADA-tested more than 30 times. I insisted — in writing — on VADA testing for myself and Robson Conceicao for this fight.

I would like to thank my manager Frank Espinoza, Top Rank, Eddy Reynoso and my entire team for standing by me throughout this process.

I would also like to thank the Pascua Yaqui Boxing Commission for the due process in hearing my case.

I will happily comply with the stipulations set forth by the World Boxing Council, to collaborate in the programs, tests, and other activities required of me.

See you on September 10th in the first defense of my WBC world title in Tucson, Arizona.

  • Notice how he said “banned” substances. Just say ALL performance enhancing drugs.

  • Frank & Eddy are real men. Real leaders. They don’t abandon their troops, while eating vanilla ice cream cones, staring at their watches, and taking kickbacks from the enemy. They care about their fighters.

    Oscar Valdez is very lucky to have such great leadership, and I wish him well in his fight coming up.

    Speaketh … Miss. Javier Lopez – Martinez.

  • Valdez when i see you fight with Barchelette in mid round look you are done and later round you come like superman so stranger,

      Speaketh … Miss. Javier Lopez – Martinez.

  • These Mexican Fighters can’t seem to stay clean. They always have been and always will be the dirtiest fighters in the sport, I mean business, of boxing.

    • Chris here is a list of Black boxers to refresh your memory. I know you will argue with some of them but “banned” is “banned”. There is more but just too many to name. Don’t get me started on track and field or other sports. Don’t throw rocks if you are living in a glass house.

      • I’m not black so…..foolish much?
        However, can you make up a list of white fighters with provable instances of PED use?

        • Chris: really bro, there is a big list of boxers who are white. How about we go deeper and not just boxing. That wld be too easy. How about Mark McGwire in baseball. Mr Home run hero. Not so much of a hero huh. And there is a big difference between Performance enhancing drugs and a diuretic Bro. C’mon Chris, ur better than that.

          • Lol, you couldn’t even come up with one example so you had to go pathetic and switch to a totally different sport. Would you like me to bring up all the other players in baseball who have popped dirty, that had a different complexion than Mark McGwire? Or can we just stick to boxing?

          • Billy Joe Saunders??? Good enough for you bro. Lmao..Should i keep going? There are 3 other big names. U prob didnt even know

    • C’mon now Chris. If it was a PED, he wldnt be fighting. And to say “these Mexican Fighters” implies all. U want me to run it back on other users that werent mexican that got caught? Im sure u can do the research urself

      • If it wasn’t a PED? WTF? It was a banned substance so he shouldn’t be fighting. What’s the difference between the two? If it’s banned you can’t take it before a fight. Do you not understand that?

  • “I have never used banned substances to enhance my performance.”

    Is not the same as.

    “I have never used banned substances.”

  • Unfortunately, there are demons/violators/lawbreakers in every culture, structure, system and/or racial group. I personally make assessments on a case by case basis, rather than apply broad generalizations.

  • Another cheater. Reynoso is dirty and so are you Oscar. Now your name is linked to ped for ever.

  • LOL!!! I don’t mean to be crass but every single post fail is copy paste and fill in the blanks. Cliché like a mofo.
