Tigre: I’ve never used any illegal substance

Not mentioned in any official statements was the actual illegal substance found in the system of WBC/WBO female super middleweight world champion Alejandra “Tigre” Jimenez. Fightnews.com® has confirmed that the substance is Stanozolol, a synthetic derivative of testosterone.

Jimenez is aggressively looking to clear her name. She stated, “On December 15, 2019, VADA took urine and blood doping samples, which turned out to be negative. On January 10 of this year, I was subjected to another anti-doping test only of urine, which was positive, a fact that surprised me since I have never used any illegal substance for my preparation. However, the next day, that is, on January 11, I had another blood and urine test, and it was negative again, so I consider that there is an error in the test that tested positive. An error that affects my image and is detrimental to the example that I seek to present as an athlete.”

“I will immediately request the analysis of the ‘B sample’, to prove credibly that there has been an error…I trust the due process of the investigation carried out by the World Boxing Council, which I’m sure will be resolved in my favor.”

  • There are cases where false positives have been recorded. However, time is the essence. If Jimenez wants his name cleared, repeating the sample will help by two validated resources recognized by the governing bodies. I will note that the testing schematics utilized in sports for banned substances are pretty accurate. I am familiar with those companies who design such protocols. However, mistakes do happen and repeat vigorous testing must be observed in order to clear anyone’s name when done in a timely fashion. I am always a skeptic when it comes to professional boxing. There are so many variables and oddities anyone is fair game to get manipulated, busted, and/or coerced.

      • I was watching DAZN prep her fight while watching and listening to the football game. Watching it without volume I honestly thought she was a guy, but I wondered because it looked like they were prepping a woman’s fight, so I turned up the volume to hear her talk before the fight and hearing her deep manly voice, I thought, “I’m right, that’s a guy for sure”. That was literally my experience before seeing her in action. She definitely didn’t look like that when she fought at heavyweight (I’ve since Youtube’d her). Positive for testosterone seems right to me.

        • Sorry gentlemen, if did feel weird saying “she”. My mind played tricks on me……

        • what in the world are you talking about. No one is being rude, just being honest, damn get a hold of yourself already. She looks 100 percent like a dude, case closed!

        • There’s plenty of room for comments like that. You cannot call your eyes liars.

  • “I’ve never used any illegal substance”….. Yea sure dude! I was born at night-but not last night..

  • He, she, it ?

    Who the fuck cares.

    Don’t cheat, Alex.

    Cut the shit. Stop trying to cheat.

  • Ha ha he’s loaded up top the gills with female hormones but WADA just noticed!

    • Now this, is an interesting way of looking at it. He could most definitely be a Decepticon.

  • Some women have a masculine look from the start. It happens. Was it always the case with this individual? Every picture I have seen of “her” is very androgonous so it difficult to say whether there has been drug use and no choice but to go by the test results as flawed as they might be. Nonetheless, it is a troubling coincidence. Boxing is not working against a clock, the inherent risk of serious injury goes up again if the playing field is not level. Jimenz has a knockout ratio close to that of Lucia Rijker, i.e., very high for a woman. If I was training a female fighter, I would think carefully about sending her in against this individual.

  • As we were watching this fight, my wife kept asking me why is a man fighting a women.

  • Like all the other Mexican fighters these day give him a slap on her fingers and let her go.. Probably tainted meat probably… One who was Lucky it’s Juan Manuel Marquez before the Pacquiao fight ; he was juiced up in this one or never ever a fighter was juiced !!

    • Sir, how dare you call a spade a spade. That ish was so out in the open that most people said nahhhhhhh.

  • I hate baited articles, was something lost in translation, I don’t know if Tigre is fluent in English. The article headline is”,Tigre: I’ve never used any illegal substance”, but what she is quoted saying is ” I have never used any illegal substance for my preparation”. Those are two vastly different statements. Poor translation or bad reporting?

  • Big Baby cried foul after the first fail, then did a retraction and begged for forgiveness and understanding. If Mexican beef is pumped full of VADA banned substances that can be confirmed as ingested from cattle products and in no way providing an advantage to the athlete who ingested it, then change the test levels to not reflect a failed result. Otherwise you are giving a pass to someone who is well aware by this time that they are ingesting meat that has a high probability of containing a banned substances which will result in a failed test result. It’s !!!!

  • Lol!!!! She looks like she’s half man half amazing already. Let me guess, tainted porterhouse at Ruth Chris. It’s unfortunate that just about everyone is can be suspected of foul play in their accomplishments.

    Maybe she should have spoken to certain groups in Las Vegas to help her not get caught.
