The controversy began and the Mexican boxer, Óscar Valdez is inside it. Reports indicate that the Aztec fighter tested positive for a prohibited substance. In this sense, “The King” is being investigated by the World Boxing Council and his next fight before Robson Conceicao would be at risk of being canceled.
Valdez is one more member of the Canelo Team and planned to expose the belt for the first time WBC super featherweight against the Brazilian fighter, the 13 of September. However, that event is in question. Mike Coppinger’s reports indicate that a test that the Aztec took gave positive for a prohibited substance.
Sources: Oscar Valdez has tested positive for a diuretic, a banned substance. He’s scheduled to defend his 130 – pound title vs. Robson Conceição on Sept. 10 in an ESPN + main event. That was his A-sample. The test was conducted by VADA, part of the WBC Clean Boxing Program.
