Drug test issue raised after Nietes WBO title defense | PnoyTV | Pinoy TV

MANILA, Philippines—The issue of drugs tests has surfaced after it was discovered that there was no postfight urine test after WBO minimumweight champion Donnie Nietes successfully defended his title against a surprisingly resilient challenger Mario Rodriguez last week in Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico. Nietes jokingly remarked in an interview with the Inquirer that no matter how he hammered Rodriguez with uppercuts and overhand rights, “he was still there as though he had taken steroids.”
