Speaking of testing positive...........

[killersheep]

I must have missed this, many of us saw Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs land a crushing body blow stoppage against Marcus McGee on the Coleman/Arnaoutis undercard. I was check on his boxrec page to see if they had announced who he was going to be fighting on FNF, and to my surprise his upcoming bout was canceled and his last bout was changed to a No Contest as Briggs had "Tested Positive for illegal substances".

Does anyone know what happened here? I had no idea about it.

Wow, I am kind of surprised about this....maybe it was used to quell his asthma issues.


Shannon Briggs also said he got down to like 240 before the fight but gained weight back to feel at full strength

I made a few researches, very little about it and all leading to the Boxrec forum. It's incredible that the Pac-Mayweather circus made so much noise that a breaking news of such "importance" did pass under silence.

That makes some sense to me. I know my girlfriend sometimes used to have to take take steroid-type medication because of her asthma.

True, my father in law is on the same stuff fighting many lung disorders.

I was kind of poking fun of Shannon with that comment, if I'm not mistaken they are different kinds of steroids. I mean you wouldn't give someone a NC because they were on prednizone which is a steroid...I think they just look for a certain kind of steroid.

Shows what I know then. I was just speculating.
