Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr.’s Marijuana Fine Dropped From 900k to 100k

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The astronomical $900,000 fine that had been imposed on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. after he tested positive for marijuana after his fight last year with Sergio Martinez has been dropped down to $100,000.

The change was made as part of a settlement agreement between Chavez’s camp and the Nevada Athletic Commission, and favored unanimously by the commissioners at their June 28 hearing.

The agreement came about in part due to the World Anti-Doping Agency easing its restrictions on marijuana use, commission Chairman Bill Brady said during the hearing. Several headlines earlier this year also noted that Chavez's team was prepared to fight the fine through litigation. [Click Here To Read More]

What a crock. Why is he being fined for that? I smoke pot and compete at the amateur level constantly, and have been doing so for years. It's not performance-enhancing or anything.

Sparring stoned is a mistake by the way, for you young ones out there.

900K was ridiculous. Hell,even 100K is way to much. I don't even smoke pot.

While staying at a house in Las Vegas for his preparation for Martinez... Chavez jr. brought with him from Mexico 30lbs of the finest weed.. Nevada Commission offered Chavez Jr. to drop the $900k fine to $100k fine if he left the rest of his 29lbs of weed here in Nevada... Chavez jr. agreed and must now provide a clean urine test, and 5 trash bags full of weed that equal to 29lbs.. GO NEVADA !!!!

I smoke everyday but you have to think of the kids who look up to these fighters and this is his second offense.

considering this scumbag's history of failing and dodging drug tests, 900k was a light punishment.

6 figures for smoking weed?

We Be Crooks strikes again

It would have been ok to lower the fine IF they had lenghtened the ban. 9 months as a second time offender is ridiculous.

the other was for losing weight unhealthy with a diuretic substance or some bs like that? and weed? I understand your point but I disagree.. you have guys like Kirkland gun charges, no suspension.. jail a felon.. like Hopkins.. or proven women beater making millions upon millions in Floyd that kids also look up to..
