Andre Berto tries to determine what has caused positives for steroids

The boxer Andre “The Best” Berto tested positive for Nandrolone. The Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) conducted the drug testing.
 He had to fight against Victor Ortiz on June 23, 2012 in Los Angeles. This boxer agreed to submit to random drug testing before the match. Both “A” and “B” urine samples indicated about intake of the anabolic steroid Nandrolone.
It was already the second time this month, when the VADA tested fighters and caught them administering steroids. The first of them was the boxer Lamont Peterson. He was scheduled to fight against Amir Khan. It seems to be strange that Peterson requested random blood and urine testing. The drug test conducted by the VADA indicated that testosterone of exogenous origin was in this fighter’s system several weeks before the match.
The tests conducted by the VADA impacted on financial position of certain companies obviously. For example, Golden Boy Promotions lost significant potential profit due to Lamont Peterson’s positives. 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 influence greatly on financial position of certain promotional companies because another boxer will possibly replace Andre Berto and will fight against Ortiz.
The fighter Andre Berto didn’t explain why he tested positive. This fighter hired the attorney Howard Jacobs who would represent and defeat him.
Andre Berto said that he had never used steroids. Thus, he confirmed that he investigated with his attorney what could lead to positives for steroids. Andre Berto concluded that he had never cheated; he achieved success in sport because of hard work and dedication.
The attorney Howard Jacobs defeated many other athletes who turned out to be victims of fake food supplements.
It is said that since the steroid Nandrolone has very long half life and it is detected easily, it is not widespread among dopers. But it has been displayed numerous times that several food supplements contained the substance nandrolone that caused positives for steroids. But since sometimes not each ingredient is listed on the label, athletes become victims of contaminated sport supplements.
