A total of five fighters participating on Saturday’s boxing card at the WinStar Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma, have been suspended by the Chickasaw Nation Boxing Commission for 45 days and must provide a negative drug test from a certified lab or have “failed drug test suspended pending a hearing” placed in their FightFax record.
One of the five involve is Baltimore Ravens safety, Tommy Zbikowski. Zbikowski knocked out Blake Warner of Oklahoma City in the first round and improving his pro record to 4-0. 16 fighters underwent drug tests and five of them came back positive for traces of THC, a substance found in marijuana.
Once they submit a clean drug test in the next couple of days they will restore their suspension. The others include heavyweight Andy Ruiz Jr., lightweight John “Action” Jackson, lightweight Terrance Roy and light heavyweight David Robinson. Most commissions normally only test fighters participating in title fights, however for Saturday night’s card they tested all the fighters. Chickasaw Nation Gaming Commissioner Matthew Morgan said all boxers who fight in tribal facilities are told “they are subject to random drug testing during events in our jurisdiction.”

The real question is, why is Chavez and Zbik shown above ?? LMAO
Tommy Z was cleared on Tuesday.
I heard that one of the fighters already came back clean in his tests. I hope eveyone else does also for boxing’s sake.
LOL blaze when your not gonna fight for a couple of months be smart about it if your gonna do it, do it in your down time. I read this headline elsewhere and it just stated that he failed a drug test and I figured steroids but at least it was only weed.
