By Dan Ambrose: Earlier today on Tuesday the Nevada State Athletic Commission gave former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. a temporary suspension for his positive marijuana test from last month after his fight with Sergio Martinez on September 15th. This was a mere formality, however, as it’s the norm for fighters who test positive according to AP.
The Nevada Commission will be meeting within three months to decides the length of Chavez Jr’s suspension as well as how much he’ll be fined.
