Mofo2 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The Nevada State Athletic Commission has slashed boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.'s fine over a failed drug test from $900,000 to $100,000.Commission members took the action Friday after Chavez's attorneys argued the excessive fine violated the boxer's constitutional rights and negotiated to reduce it.The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the 27-year-old former WBC middleweight champion did not attend the meeting.Chavez tested positive for marijuana after his first professional loss in Las Vegas on Sept. 15.He was slapped with the $900,000 fine by the commission on Feb. 28 as a repeat offender of the panel's drug policy. Chavez had tested positive for diuretics in 2009.He has served a nine-month suspension that was part of the original punishment and will return to the ring Sept. 7 against Brian Vera in Los Angeles.Information from: Las Vegas Review-Journal, http://www.lvrj.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
