Fight between Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz will not take place

The professional boxer Andre Berto tested positive for Nandrolone. He was tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA).
 He had to fight against Victor Ortiz on June 23, 2012 in Los Angeles. Andre Berto 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 applying 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 is quite ironically that Peterson requested random blood and urine testing. A carbon isotope ratio test conducted by the VADA indicated that Peterson had testosterone of exogenous origin several weeks before the match.
Financial position of several companies suffered due to tests conducted by the VADA. For example, Golden Boy Promotions lost great potential profit due to positives of Lamont Peterson. It was estimated 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 cost so much because another boxer will possibly replace Andre Berto and will fight against Ortiz.
As for the boxer Andre Berto, he didn’t explain why he tested positive. This boxer hired the attorney Howard Jacobs who would represent and defeat him.
Berto said that he had never applied steroids. So, he noted that he investigated with his attorney what could cause positives for steroids. The fighter Andre Berto concluded that he had never cheated; he succeeded in sport because of hard work and dedication.
The attorney Howard Jacobs represented numerous other sportspersons who turned out to be victims of contaminated nutritional supplements.
It is said that since the steroid Nandrolone has too long half life and it is detected easily, it is not widespread among those who dope. But it has been determined many times that several nutritional supplements contained the ingredient nandrolone that led to positives for steroids. But since sometimes not every compound is listed on the label, athletes become victims of cheating.
