Rios, who passed four of the VADA-administered tests leading up to his match against Pacquiao, failed the urine test afterward. He tested positive for the banned substance methylexanamine, a stimulant that is commonly known as dimenthylamylamine or DMAA and has been used in dietary supplements.
Bob Arum of Top Rank, the promoter for Pacquiao and Rios, confirmed that Rios had failed the post-fight drug test.
“There was a little something in his urine after the fight,’’ Arum said. “It was something they (VADA) reported to the Chinese commission after the fight. He passed all the tests before that. It wasn’t a steroid. It was probably something he took to make weight.’’
Dr. Margret Goodman, the head of VADA, confirmed that Pacquiao passed all five of the tests administered by the organization and that Rios had passed only four of the five.
"There was a little something in his urine after the fight"
I would like to know what that little something is. And having been found with a banned substance does that mean he might have to give up a portion of his pay?

Rios probably destroyed his body struggling to make weight so many times at lightweight. He looked like death on the scale more than a few times. He also would look like he still had a little fat on him, so I wonder if they just tried to lose nothing but a ton of water every time?
If Rios is going to struggle making 147 he might be around too long. Dudes at 154 hit really hard and his style would end up getting his head dribbled like a basketball.
