LAS VEGAS (AP) a The Nevada State Athletic Commission has fined and suspended fighter Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. This past year over a failed drug test. The 27-year-old Mexican fighter tested positive for marijuana in September after his first professional damage. Chavez (46-1-1) was suspended Thursday for seven months and fined $900,000, which amounts to 30 % of his $3 million purse for the fight against Sergio Martinez. The commission might have forbidden him for twelve months and disciplined him for as much as 100 percent of his wallet. At a meeting in January, commissioners wondered why Chavez had not yet returned to Nevada for disciplinary action. Lawyer Donald Campbell said the former middleweight champion was trapped in Mexico, struggling to have a visa.
