      Shannon Briggs takes steroids. And he has been for some time.

      “You want to talk about steroids? I’m taking steroids,” admitted the WBO heavyweight titlist last April.

      Fortunately, the substances he consumes aren’t the banned performance-enhancing kind, but are a medication necessary to stave off his chronic asthma-related illnesses




      Former heavyweight titleholder Shannon Briggs, who launched a comeback last month after 2˝ years out of the ring, tested positive for a banned substance following his first-round knockout of Marcus McGee.

      The result of the Dec. 3 fight, which took place in New York City and was televised on Versus, was changed to a no contest. Briggs was also suspended for 90 days by the New York State Athletic Commission, according to Ivaylo Gotzev, Briggs' manager.

      Gotzev declined to identify the substance that Briggs tested positive for but told ESPN.com on Saturday night that the test result came about because of medication he takes for asthma, which he has battled for years.

      "Shannon is on enough medication to kill a horse because of his asthma," Gotzev said. "All the medications he takes, other people couldn't even get out of bed. But he's out there running and training and fighting. He's not a steroid user or a drug user. He's using medication. We're consulting with his physicians and seeing how we can make the proper adjustments so this doesn't happen again.

      "Maybe he needs to stay off certain medications before fights. I don't know. I'm not the doctor. But Shannon is on a number of medications due to his asthma. He had something found by the commission, and we've dealt with that."
