Comments Thread For: NSAC Drug Tests, 9/8-9/15: All But Chavez Jr. Test Clean

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It was a busy month for boxing in Las Vegas. Four separate nationally televised shows were staged in the ******** capital in a span of just seven days, with cameras rolling for HBO, Showtime and ESPN2.

Among the 50 or so fighters who appeared on the cards and were tested for illegal substances, all but one came back clean according to a recent statement from Keith Kizer, Executive Director for the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The lone exception was previously unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who tested positive for marijuana following his 12-round points loss to Sergio Martinez in their September 15 HBO PPV-televised main event.

Let me be the first then - 3 failed drug tests, 1 dui before a title defense, no dedication, no respect for the sport, god father is the president of the WBC, was given a belt, snapped on his daddy inbetween rounds during the martinez fight - a all time hall of famer might I add, dude is a JOKE......for real

WOW, 1 year suspension and 100% forfeiture of his purse??? Damn, Nevada strict as hell. But this could be a good signal towards other boxers: be educated of illegal substances and keep them out of your body!

It's illegal in the states whether you like it or not. If you wanna smoke pot you shouldn't be in boxing.

It says UP TO. I doubt they will take all 3M. Whether clean or not he put his life on the line, I don't see them taking all 3M. I dislike Chavez Jr with a passion and I wouldn't even wanna see him with a penny from that fight.

Glad to see the rematch is not happening... I don't want to see Martinez destroy this kid to the point he is blind...

I would rather see Martinez fight better opposition.

Weed is banned in the United States period[unless you use it for medical purposes].

Of course it's going to be banned in a sport.
