Casamayor Tests Positive for Marijuana, Faces Fine and/or Suspension

According to a representative of the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), former lightweight and super featherweight world champion, Joel Casamayor, tested positive for Marijuana following his November 12th TKO loss to Timothy Bradley on the Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel undercard.

Casamyor, who received $100,000 for his clinch-filled snoozer against Bradley, faces a suspension along with a fine that could take as much as 100% of his purse pending a formal NSAC hearing.

The 40-year-old former Olympic Gold Medalist was an elite 130 lb. and 135 lb. competitor for nearly a decade, from 1999 to 2008, but has looked worn and badly faded in losing three of his last five bouts.
