The recent days were not good for the Dominican star, as he suffered a defeat against Frank Martin last year December.

After that, he was put under suspension for using an illegal substance. He was suspended by World Anti-Doping Agency or WADA, for allegedly using hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene. Both drugs work as diuretics which let the body reduce fluid and also reduce blood pressure.

Although two months are over and there is no official information on the reversal of the suspension. In the meantime, Nevada State Athletic Commission still wants to review his situation, and for that, he is put under further suspension till his charges are cleared. Previously his team claimed that Rivera was given these drugs as vitamin capsules.

However, earlier,  Canelo Alvarez and Oscar Valdez were also penalized for using illegal drugs. But the interesting connection that is emerging is, they are all trained by Eddy Reynoso.
