According to reports Zbikowski was smoking weed before he KOed some tomato can in the 1st rd last Saturday. Someone needs to tell tell Tom steroids are good for boxing, weed is good for the NBA, not when you are about to have someone trying to knock your head off.
ESPN.com has the story.
Baltimore Ravens safety Tom Zbikowski, the former Notre Dame football player and Golden Gloves boxing champion, was suspended Tuesday for flunking a drug test after fighting in Oklahoma on Saturday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Zbikowski was among five fighters suspended 45 days by the Chickasaw Nation Boxing Commission, pending a second negative drug test. According to the newspaper, the drug in question is THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
“We’re appealing it,” Zbikowski’s manager Mike Joyce said, according to the Sun-Times. “After the fight, all the fighters tested were positive. They had you pee in a cup and put a strip of something in there. I’ve never seen results where you get them the day of the fight. It was like a home pregnancy test or something.”
Maybe it was a contact high?
Either way as long as it isn’t steroids, I wouldn’t consider it that big of a deal. If true just wait to smoke the sticky icky until after the fight.
