Ive just scanned through and not spotted this elsewhere so apologies if ive missed the party and its old news (if so then mids feel free to delete)
Just saw in the newspaper that he tested positive for Benzoylecgonine (whatever that is ) after his Super Flyweight title challenge and has subsequently received a 2 year ban .

In mitigation, it also can be found in prescription drugs.
Prescription drugs derived from cocaine, yes.

Did tony Oakey get tested positive for coke ? Sure he received a hefty fine, supposed to stay in system for 2-3 days, but not sure how true that is

And Chavez Jr is trying to sue over his 9 month ban and 30% fine for his 2nd failed test in the last couple of years. Shows how seriously they take failed drugs tests in the US

Only detectable in urine or saliva samples for between two and five days. Hair samples (which won't have happened) roughly 40 days.

No, the drug testing is still a joke in boxing and MMA, the ban and fine is more of a stupid tax as the fighters know when they will be tested, so can make sure whatever is in their system is cycled out on testing day.

To be fair more people are getting random testing a guy on facebook has put it on there that hes been random tested on the basis of big larry sending in a conversation they had to the doping people.
