WBA 140lb champ Puello fails drug test

WBA super lightweight champion Alberto Puello has reportedly failed a VADA test and his scheduled defense against Rolly Romero on Showtime May 13 in Las Vegas is off. Puello allegedly tested positive for the banned substance clomiphene. Showtime still plans to go ahead with the telecast as of now, possibly with Romero now taking on WBA #1 Ismael Barroso for the vacant title in the event Puello is stripped.

  • Shame on Puello, about to give his title to someone who does not deserve it, either way.

  • This is the primary use of Clomiphene: Clomifene, also known as clomiphene, is a medication used to treat infertility in women who do not ovulate, including those with polycystic ovary syndrome. Use results in a greater chance of twins. It is taken by mouth once a day, with a course of treatment that usually lasts for five days. So, because nowadays the excuses are well elaborated, I hope Puello won’t come out that he is transgender and want to have a baby by taking this medicine

  • Why am I not surprised? Shame because it was an interesting fight on paper. It was going to be interesting to see pueblo letting his hands go on the outside as Romero tried to get in to cancel out Puelo’s reach.

    We’re in the middle of a potentially great boxing season and this type of cancelation is what we don’t need.

  • People are quick to judge without knowing the facts, I personally know Puello and his team it’s impossible after everything they worked hard for and the long road they’ve taken for them to cheat or throw everything away absolutely not, Alberto Puello is a solid young man from humble beginnings so he should be given the benefit of the doubt.
