Mickey Bey was a man with a lot to get off his chest this past Monday.
On February 2nd, Bey, a lightweight contender (19-0-1, 9 KO’s) fighting out of Las Vegas, made an emphatic ring return following a 15-month layoff as he halted Robert Rodriguez in under three rounds inside of the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino.
On February 19th, it was reported by various outlets that Bey had failed a pre-fight drug test, as he was found to have high levels of testosterone in his system. Bey’s testosterone to epitestosterone ratio was marked at 30-1, far greater than the 6-1 allowed by Nevada.
On March 20th, the Nevada State Athletic Commission voted 3-2 to fine Bey $1,000 of his $8,000 purse while also suspending him for three months.
Bey could have lost his entire purse while being suspended for a year, but the ruling was lessened because he had documentation showing that he had advised his physician ahead of time that he wasn’t supposed to take any kind of performance-enhancing drugs prior to his fight.
