Earlier today at a hearing before the Nevada State Athletic Commission, former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., by a vote of 3-2, was suspended for 9 months for testing postive for marijuana in the aftermath of his twelve round decision loss to Sergio Martinez, which took place on September 15th at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Chavez was also hit with a hefty fine - of 30% of his fight purse [$900,000 of $3,000,000].

I bet he wishes he was a GBP fighter using their private testing agreement.

900,000 is pretty ******.Not even drug dealers get that kind of fine.

Well I hope he realizes that he can not do what he wants now. Should b a wake up for him. Can't c the Martinez rematch happening now unless somewhere else.

9 months is pretty much nothing, especially since it's his second offence. The $900k fine makes up for it, but Chavez probably made way more than that $3 million guarantee though.

900,000 K. I might have told that athletic commission to go %$^% themselves.

[WESS]

Harsh, but this was his second time being busted.

9 months means squat but the 900K definitely stings.
