A syringe needle injected into the ass of Andre Berto admits to supplying performance enhancing drugs to the former welterweight titleholder.

The syringe needle’s accusation was officially confirmed yesterday afternoon when the results of Berto’s failed drug test were made public.

Anonymous sources with knowledge of the situation say Berto tested positive for the banned anabolic steroid nandrolone in a test conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA).

According to the needle injected into Berto’s ass, nandrolone enhances an athlete’s performance by producing super human muscle growth.

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya says the June 23 rematch between his fighter Victor Ortiz and Berto will be canceled. De La Hoya went on to say that a replacement opponent for Ortiz will be named sometime next week.

Berto’s promoter Lou DiBella says Berto will fight on despite the failed test. “Failing a drug test doesn’t mean a thing in this sport,” said DiBella.

“The WBC is going to sanction a world title fight between Andre and Lamont Peterson for the Steroid Championship of the World,” said DiBella.

Peterson’s schedule opened up last week when his May 19 rematch with Amir Khan was canceled after a VADA drug test detected synthetic testosterone in his system.

DiBella informed FightClubWriter.com that he is trying to secure Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao and admitted drug cheat “Sugar” Shane Mosley as special celebrity judges for the proposed Berto-Peterson steroid title clash.

God Denounces Gay Marriage Through His Official Spokesman Manny Pacquiao

President Barack Obama reignited a firestorm of controversy last week when he threw his support behind same-sex marriage in a political move made to bolster his re-election campaign.

Obama’s announcement was celebrated by the Gay and Lesbian community, but there is one Devine Omnipresence that is none too happy with the President’s stance on gay marriage.

In a statement read by his official spokesman Manny Pacquiao, God condemned the act of same-sex marriage.

“God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married. It should not be of the same sex, so as to adulterate the altar of matrimony, like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah,” Pacquiao said on God’s behalf.

Theologians from around the world were surprised by God’s decision to hire boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao as His official spokesman.

Many boxing observers have also questioned God’s decision and wonder if Pacquiao is spreading himself too thin with his June 9 welterweight title defense against Timothy Bradley just around the corner.

In addition to being God’s official press secretary, the eight-division world champion is a congressman in the Philippines.

When FightClubWriter.com asked Pacquiao about the perks he receives working as God’s spokesman, he gave a rather surprising answer.

“I won the third Marquez fight, didn’t I?” Pacquiao responded.

In other news, Jesus Christ has been hired to spiritually advise Floyd Mayweather Jr. during his 87-day jail sentence that begins on June 1.

Boxing is a sport where vultures pick at the bones of fighters whose best days are behind them and trainer Kevin Cunningham is not one to let a golden opportunity slip by for one of his fighters.

Cunningham says he would like to match his welterweight contender Devon Alexander against a shot 40-year-old Shane Mosley on August 18 in St. Louis, Missouri.

Mosley was brutally pummeled for twelve one-sided rounds by WBC junior middleweight titleholder Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on May 5.

Cunningham quickly dismissed the idea about a possible grudge match between Alexander and newly-crowned WBA welterweight titleholder Paulie Malignaggi.

“Devon would knock the skirt off him,” exclaimed Cunningham.

“We just have to fight the best available guy. The guy with the most recognizable name to the fans,” said Cunningham.

Alexander and Cunningham turned their attention to Mosley because Meldrick Taylor isn’t currently available to fight.

Having become a mainstay in the entourage of newly-crowned WBA junior middleweight titleholder Floyd Mayweather Jr., teen heart throb Justin Bieber says he would “like totally” become a professional boxer.

“I’d like to be a boxer when I grow up. That would be so cool. I like drawing and working on coloring books too,” said Bieber.

After Mayweather’s May 5th victory over Miguel Cotto, Bieber joined the boxer in the ring along with rappers 50 Cent, Lil Wayne and professional wrestler Triple H.

The teenybopper says celebrating Mayweather’s victory over Cotto inspired him to hit the gym.

“I’ve been training like crazy, yo. Nothing can stop me.”

Bieber says that he would have to gain weight prior to launching his own boxing career.

“I would have to get yoked and gain some mad weight. I would like to win titles in nine different weight classes, but I’m like 104 pounds soaking wet,” said Bieber.

The 18-year-old teen pop star wondered who can best help him met his goals.

“Maybe I can hire Victor Conte or Alex Ariza to be my strength and conditioning coach.”

Bob Arum Compares Floyd Mayweather Jr. To Notorious Publicist

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum sticks his foot in his mouth by comparing Floyd Mayweather Jr. to a Nazi propagandist.

While speaking on a sports talk show, Arum who promotes Manny Pacquiao was discussing Mayweather’s demand that Pacquiao take a drug test when he compared Mayweather to Joseph Goebbels.

“For two years Pacquiao has said that he will take any drug test, so why is that still being talked about by Mayweather?” asked Arum.

“You see Mayweather is from the school of propaganda that Joseph Goebbels, who was Adolf Hitler’s publicist, adopted. The more you say things over and over again the more people believe them.”

Arum went on to say that Manny Pacquiao is the smartest and cleanest fighter he has ever promoted.

“Manny is one smart cookie,” said Arum. “He is so religious and as the fear of God in him that he would never use drugs to enhance his in-ring performance.”

“I will say it again, I have never promoted a fighter smarter and cleaner than Manny Pacquiao,” claimed Arum.

In other boxing news, Lamont Peterson’s pregnancy due date is set for December 11, 2012. Peterson shook the boxing world to its core this week by failing his pre-fight pregnancy test. Consequently, the May 19 junior welterweight title rematch between Amir Khan and Peterson was cancelled.

Peterson’s attorney says there is no word on who the father is and the details of the child’s gender will be released at a later date.

A source twice removed from the situation says unified junior welterweight champion Lamont Peterson failed a pregnancy test putting his May 19 rematch with Amir Khan in jeopardy.

According to multiple media reports citing sources with knowledge of the situation, high levels of estrogen were found in Peterson’s system in March, but the results are slowly being leaked by multiple unknown sources.

Boxing writers from around the globe were quick to report the rumor as fact by citing anonymous sources so they could say they broke the story first.

FightClubWriter.com would like to break the news of an unsubstantiated report from a very unreliable anonymous source that there is no truth to the rumor that Khan’s strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza is looking to impregnate Khan so they could fail their very own pregnancy test.

Ring Magazine Changes Championship Policy To Encourage Mediocrity

May 032012

May 3, 2012

The self-proclaimed “Bible of Boxing” updates its championship policy in order to fill title vacancies just for the fuck of it.

Michael Rosenthal editor of The Ring Magazine believes the new championship policy will pump life into the fading world of boxing.

“We can’t force these guys to fight each other so there’s nothing we can do, but we could make shit up as we go along and trick the fans into thinking they are watching the best fight the best,” said Rosenthal.

The updated policy now states that a vacancy can be filled one of two ways. A champion may be crowned if the number 1 and 2 contenders fight each other or if the number 1 or number 2 contender fights the number 3, 4 or 5 ranked contender.

The editors at Ring Magazine say they had two choices in fulfilling their goal in determining the true champion in every division.

“We could do nothing, which would perpetuate the status quo or take action.”

The Ring Magazine has long claimed to be in the business of boxing journalism since 1922 when it was launched by Nat Fleischer and Dan Daniel.

However, the publication’s fraudulent image as a neutral institution of boxing journalism hasn’t fooled everyone.

“Journalism isn’t about crowning champions, it’s about reporting the news,” said the ghost of Howard Cosell.

FightClubWriter.com tried to get a reaction from Nat Fleischer on the changes made to the championship policy, but he was too busy rolling in his grave.
