Chavez Jr. Misses Drug Test; Suspended; Jacobs fight in Jeopardy

According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr missed a drug test which put a proposed December 20 bout against Daniel Jacobs in Jeopardy.

Bob Bennett, the executive director of the Nevada commission, told ESPN on Friday that Chavez has been temporarily suspended and would be required to appear before the commission at a hearing scheduled for Nov. 20.

“I have nothing to hide. I’m ready for any test,” Chavez told ESPN Deportes about turning down the test. “The anti-doping guy came here (to the gym) angry. He did not show any credentials as they are supposed to do. Any day I can do the test if they guarantee me it’s the same way for Jacobs. I don’t understand because I have nothing official for the fight.”
