    I'd treat this article with a grain of salt. But here it is for what it's worth:


    Austin Trout Fails His Post-Fight Drug Test

    by Rick Reeno - Boxing Scene - 14th June 2011

    Boxing Scene dot com has been advised by several strong Mexican sources that WBA "regular" junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (23-0, 13KOs) failed a post-fight drug test for last Saturday's fight with David "Destroyer" Lopez (40-13, 23KOs). Trout won a twelve round decision over Lopez in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

    Reportedly, Trout tested positive for marijuana. The fight is likely going to end up as a no-contest. I've heard Lopez's promoter, Hector Garcia, is in the process of sending a letter to the WBA to request an immediate rematch and/or Trout being stripped and Lopez getting a direct shot for the vacant title.

    True, and 'strong Mexican sources' probably aren't that strong or reliable.

    heres my reply from the other post you put the article on CHB..

    like you said, treat it with a grain of salt. Atleast at this stage, so far only one source has released this story and its not even giving any sources, which would mean at this stage its just rumor. I would have thought if he failed the drug test it would have been all over variouse boxing news websites, you can only find the story on one site, others have linked the story but its all being linked back to the same site.

    Trout sprung smoking marijuana?

    Perhaps Trout's nickname should be Pufferfish?

    If you can get high and still win a fight, then i reckon your ****ing superman

    i cant stand when people call athletes drug cheats when they get busted for taking weed, pills etc... they hamper your performance FFS. Andrew Johns took drugs, but he wasnt a drug cheat.

    Getting caught doing steroids is one thing, but getting caught with weed in your system? Give me strength, that should not be an issue.

    You down with MMA Gonzo? Check out Nick Diaz, that dude trains when his high with his mates and is open about his smoking :good

    He got robbed of a win in Japan against their best in Kid Gomi. They both dished out a beating and it was a bloody mess, very even fight. (must watch fight)

    Then in the last round, Diaz managed to pull off the craziest submission move (Gogoplata?) and put him to sleep.

    The Jap officals pulled him up for smoking buds and said it enable him to take a beating and numbed the pain? :huh

    Funny cause half the Pride roster were on roids at the time :nono

    Its obviously because of the "bad role model" card, but I dont really think the fans genuinely give a **** (unlike PEDs).

    I actually read an interesting article once, apparently MJ is a performance enhancing drug for 100m sprinters, although I can't remember the science behind it. Presumably the fear when the guns go off enters into it somewhat.
