Chad Dawson Failed A Drug Test in 2004?

[Mr. Ryan]

I was looking through Dawson's record and I see that he has a NC in 2004 against Aundalen Sloan, a 4-6 fighter. It says underneath that the fight was changed to a NC after Dawson failed the post fight drug test. Does anyone know anything about this?

Yeah i remember reading about that last year and i think Al Berstein brought it up in one of his earlier fights. They found weed in his system, that was at a time where he was still doing the wrong things, hes much more dicliplined now and takes the sport 100% serious.

If anything, it's the equivalent of going into a fight with your shoelaces tied together lol.

a nc of weed???thats just dumb

A nc as you call it isn't even that much. If it was a dime, I'd say suspend him.

Isn't weed an anaesthetic? Doesn't it numb pain?

Medical marijuana, and whatnot...

Weed will enhance their ability to play video games and eat food.

Tylanol numbs pain. The only reason I can see is because it'sl illegal. But do boxers lose wins for getting caught reckless driving leading up to a fight?
