I understand there is a foot stomping issue, and it probably is illegal (Since Clottey was warned when he did this to Pac), doesn't matter since ref didn't spot it then (Compare Marquez's previous fights with Manny, no foot stomping then. Though it is supposedly natural because of of Pac's southpaw and JMM's Orthodox stances, it doesn't make sense how Marquez could step on Pacquiao's foot 6 times and never the other way around, it seems intentional). But all throughout the night, I was wondering what that yellow substance in the bottle was...
WBO Regulations clearly say that.
SECTION 28. DRUGS OR STIMULANTS
(a) The use of illegal or performance enhancing drugs or other stimolants before of during the Championship contest by any of the contestants shall be sufficient cause for the disqualification of the contestant guilty of said use. Only plain water may be given to a contestant in the course of the bout. Lubricants around the eyes is allowed in amounts within the Referee’s discretion; the use of lubricants, or any other substance on a contestant’s arms, legs and body is prohibited in Championship fights.
(b) The use of hemostats such as Thrombin, Avetine or Adrenalin 1/1000 solution shall be allowed between rounds to control the bleeding from minor cuts and lacerations sustained by a contestant as permitted by the roles and regolations of the Local Boxing Commission. If the Local Boxing Commission has no role concerning permissible hemostats, then only Adrenalin 1/1000 is permitted. Each contestant is obligated to know and comply with the roles and regolations of the Local Boxing Commission as to use of hemostats.
(c) The World Boxing Organization encourages all Local Boxing Commissions to conduct anti-doping tests before or after the fight. If the Local Boxing Commission conducts the tests, they shall be administered in accordance with the roles and regolations of the Local Boxing Commission.
I don't know if he had a waiver or consent for that. Not jumping into conclusions but it's definitely odd.
