在boxingscene网站，每周都会有一个采访专栏，这次是采访一个叫史蒂芬·爱德华兹的墨西哥裔美国人，主要提及墨西哥拳手嗑药的话题。其中提到了他的一篇文章，双方有问有答，太长，简述。
记者说的一段话；我看了你的文章，通过阿瓦雷兹最近的药检呈阳性事件，延伸至卡洛斯·夸德拉斯拒绝接受测试（等同于阳性），不得不被人联想到所有的墨西哥拳手，不是可疑就是被测试阳性。评论区有人甚至认为你是种族主义者，他小时候肯定吸了太多胶水。
马奎兹虽然没有被测试出阳性，但他是一个最明显的药罐子。雷·贝尔特兰（Ray Beltran）阳性。萨利多在比赛中无论被打的多惨，总是能强势回归。路易斯-纳里( 26-0-0 (20 KOs) 不可能不通过瘦肉精减肥。我们的传奇人物莫拉莱斯也是阳性，我相信还有很多其他人。
我的观点是墨西哥人不像其他种族那样，虽然我们有耐力和耐久性，但我们没有运动能力（大概是不跑，站住死磕）。我知道一个事实，在墨西哥很容易得到禁止使用的药物，我有朋友是休闲举重运动员。
夸德拉斯拒绝测试让很多人吃惊，可我仍然支持墨西哥人，但我不是傻瓜。我知道他们大多数人在做什么。我承认，如果我和一个墨西哥的精英拳手作战，我也会使用药物来帮助自己，这在我们的文化中是很常见的。我知道你不会说你怀疑谁，但我相信你的直觉。在你的许多评论中，我都能读懂，谢谢你的公平。
史蒂芬·爱德华兹说；我不是种族主义者，我怀疑许多黑人拳手也是骗子。我怀疑许多亚洲和东欧的拳手也在作弊。事实上，我怀疑任何一个超过200K的A方拳手，他不要求他的对手做额外的测试，他不在乎他们是谁。
我喜欢墨西哥的拳手，其中有萨尔·桑切斯，里卡多·洛佩兹，老查维兹，还有一半墨西哥人，罗伯托·杜兰。
我见过有长.粉.刺的成年人，它发生的原因是多方面的。但是夸德拉斯的背部痤.疮，以及他的亢奋的态度总是让我怀疑他。我从来没有公开说过什么，我只是仔细观察他。我同意你的观点，拒绝测试就等于阳性。应该沮丧的是夸德拉斯最后的几个对手，其中一个对手是优秀的胡安·埃斯特拉达，他碰巧是墨西哥人。。。很高兴夸德拉斯被停赛，并希望揭露出更多作弊者。

The Daily Bread Mailbag returns with Stephen "Breadman" Edwards tackling many topics such as performance enhancing drugs in boxing, Amir Khan vs. Adrien Broner, Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermall Charlo, Golovkin vs. Vanes, and more.
There is an idiot in the comments section of your mailbag named Big Stomps that turned your Canelo comment into a racial thing. He definitely sniffed too much glue as a kid. The very next day after you put out your mailbag another Mexican fighter Carlos Cuadras refused to be tested which is the same thing as testing positive in my opinion. I am Mexican American and I work in the sport science field. And I will admit you are spot on in most of your points. I know you don’t target Mexican fighters. But in light of Cuadras refusing to be tested I thought about all of the Mexican fighters that have either been suspicious or tested positive.
Juan Manuel Marquez is the most obvious cheater in history who didn’t test positive. Ray Beltran tested positive and is fighting better than he ever has at any point of his career and he’s close to 40. Orlando Salido keeps being able to comeback in fight after fight, no matter how vicious the punishment is. Have we ever seen a fighter bounce back from a brutal beating better than Salido? Luis Nery a new upstart looks like a monster but he can’t make weight without Clenbuterol. Erik Morales our legend tested positive. I’m sure there are many others.
My point is Mexicans are not as athletic as other races. We have stamina and durability but we don’t have the athleticism. I know for a fact that it’s easy to get banned drugs in Mexico. I have friends who are recreational weight lifters and we go from San Diego to Mexico all the time. They usually pick up a cocktail or two. We don’t get as cut or defined as the black guys in the gym.
Cuadras refusing to test just made many eat crow. I still root for Mexicans but I’m no fool. I know exactly what most of them are doing. And I will admit if I were fighting an elite Mexican fighter, I would use a PED to even the playing field. It’s very common in our culture. I know you won’t say who you are suspicious of but I trust your instincts. I can read in between the lines in many of your comments. Thanks for being fair.
Bread’s Response: You know what’s messed up, I really don’t see race or color when it comes down to cheating. I suspect many black fighters of being cheaters. I suspect many Asian and Eastern European fighters of cheating also. In fact I suspect any fighter ** over 200k/fight that is the A side and he doesn’t ask his opponent to do extra testing. I don’t care who they are.
I don’t read the comments section below my mailbag. I only read emails that are sent to me. That’s a form of social media and like I have said many times, social media is evil. But I will take your word. If you say Big Stomp is an idiot, he must be an idiot.
I love Mexican fighters. Some of my favorite fighters ever are Sal Sanchez, Ricardo Lopez, Julio Cesar Chavez and guess who is half Mexican, Roberto Duran. I will never target Mexicans and say they aren’t athletic enough so they cheat. If a Mexican fighter cheats it’s because he wants to. Period. If he’s not athletic enough for boxing then he should try another sport.
I have seen adults with acne. It happens because of various things. But Cuadras’s back acne, along with his hyper attitude always made me suspect him. Again I never said anything publicly I just watched him closely. I agree with you again, refusing a test is the same as failing one. Some will get upset again but who cares. The people who should get upset is Cuadras’s last few opponents who most likely took punches from an enhanced fighter. One of those opponents is the excellent Juan Estrada who happens to be Mexican. This is why no one should be offended because someone of their nationality or race gets caught cheating. If that offends you, you aren’t showing empathy to the victim. I’m glad Cuadras was suspended by the WBC and hope many more get caught. It doesn’t matter to me what race they are. |
