By Dan Ambrose: Examiner.com writer Michael Marley is reporting that WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr’s promoter Bob Arum is saying that Chavez Jr. was given a urine test BEFORE his fight against Andy Lee last Saturday night at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.

This is interesting news, because one of the HBO analysts said that Chavez Jr. hadn’t been able to take the urine test for performance enhancing drugs.

Arum told Marley this at examiner.com “This is just ludicrous. There was a piss test. I know this for a fact. I know Julio did the urine test at the arena right before the fight. As far as Julio’s weight gain, well so what? That is certainly within the rules.”

How much weight Chavez Jr. gained for the fight after rehydrating is unclear, but HBO analyst Roy Jones Jr. estimated that that Chavez Jr. weighted approximately 180 pounds last Saturday for the Lee fight. Jim Lampley from HBO said that Chavez Jr. was punching like a light heavyweight. Arum is right about it being legal for Chavez Jr. to weigh as much as he wants after rehydrating.

However, Lee’s trainer Emanuel Steward is concerned about whether or not Chavez Jr. was drug tested. It obviously is an important thing for a trainer to be worrying about, because there wasn’t drug testing done for Chavez Jr’s last fight in Texas in his bout against Marco Antonio Rubio. Someone dropped the ball and the drug testing wasn’t done. Steward wants to make sure that there was even playing field with his fighter going up against a fighter that looked a lot bigger than him last Saturday.
