Not only did Brandon Rios take a brutal and embarrassing beating at the hands of a re-invigorated Manny Pacquiao in Macao, China, but the welterweight contender failed his post-fight drug test following their match on Nov. 23.
Rios, who passed four of the VADA-administered tests leading up to his match against Pacquiao, failed the urine test afterward. He tested positive for the banned substance methylexanamine, a stimulant that is commonly known as dimenthylamylamine or DMAA and has been used in dietary supplements.
Bob Arum of Top Rank, the promoter for Pacquiao and Rios, confirmed that Rios had failed the post-fight drug test.
“There was a little something in his urine after the fight,’’ Arum said. “It was something they (VADA) reported to the Chinese commission after the fight. He passed all the tests before that. It wasn’t a steroid. It was probably something he took to make weight.’’
Dr. Margret Goodman, the head of VADA, confirmed that Pacquiao passed all five of the tests administered by the organization and that Rios had passed only four of the five.
Robert Garcia, Rios' trainer, said he had not been informed of the failed drug test.
“This is the first I’m hearing about it,’’ Garcia said. “I haven’t heard that.’’
Efforts to reach Alex Ariza, Rios' fitness coach, were unsuccessful.
Garcia was in San Antonio working with Marcos Maidana, who will meet Adrien Broner in a 12-round welterweight championship match at the Alamodome on Saturday night. Garcia said Ariza has been in camp helping Maidana prepare for the match against Broner.
The Food and Drug Administration has warned supplement makers that DMAA is considered a dangerous substance after it was linked to the deaths of five people who took supplements that contained it.
The U.S. Army linked DMAA to two soldiers who suffered heart attacks during training in 2011. As a result of those deaths, the U.S. Army pulled supplements containing the substance from store shelves on army bases.
