If Luis Nery is stripped for his failed drug test will Yamanaka be Reinstated as Champion?

What did he test positive for?

If it's performance enhancing, I'd hope Yamanaka is reinstated.

Nice to see this big story get the attention it deserves in the CS forum today...

The story broke the other day and was discussed in the Yamanaka/Nery thread.

It was zilpaterol, which apparently can help with endurance, fat loss, muscle recovery, and strength. It's also used to increase the size of cattle, so Nery will probably come out with the now standard defense about eating tainted meat.

With all this contaminated meat one has to wonder why a pro athlete would risk it at all.

Why so long for the result ??

Maybe he just wanted bigger calves...

Did something happen to Nery's fight tonight? No longer listed on his page.

Pretty sure it's still happening. The entire card seems to have disappeared from BoxRec, but I'm watching it off my DVR right now.

Ended up being a great fight. Nery dropped in the 4th but comes back strong to get the stoppage in the 6th.
