Orlando Salido Rivera (born November 16, 1980 in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora) is a Mexican professional boxer. He is currently the International Boxing Federation(IBF) Featherweight champion. He has a record of 28-9-2 (with 18 wins by KO).
On November 4, 2006 he defeated Robert Guerrero for the IBF world title, by an unanimous decision. The Official scorers saw it 115-113, 118-110, 117-111. Salido's win over Guerrero is now marred by controversy, as Salido reportedly tested positive for steroids prior to the fight [1].
As a result of his positive test for Nandrolone, Salido has been stripped of his title and still faces disciplinary action in Nevada, which could result in a fine, suspension or both [2].
