Like stated... Sauerland does some testing during training... they have it in the contracts for their fighters and the fighter who fights against them

Good. Navascues was a crappy opponent for a title fight anyway. He was being brought in to make the local boy look good and couldn't even win the Euro title belt, let alone beat Sylvester. Maybe his promoters will give Sylvester a real opponent now, but somehow I doubt it

Shocked, caught during training... probably would've been clean on the after fight test.

Looks like this guy got caught in a random test. Good thing.

Bad thing is that Sauerland now scrambles to find a replacement.
