Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. submitted a positive post-fight urine test for marijuana, the Nevada State Athletic Commission informed the boxer’s promoter Wednesday.
Carl Moretti, the vice president of promoter Top Rank, said he received a phone call, alerting him to Chavez's positive test, from Nevada commission executive officer Keith Kizer.
The result could have steep consequences for Chavez Jr., who surrendered his World Boxing Council middleweight belt with a unanimous decision loss Saturday to Sergio Martinez that came despite a dramatic 12th-round rally by Chavez Jr.
It was the second positive test for Chavez Jr. in Nevada. After his November 2009 victory over Troy Rowland in Nevada, Chavez Jr. tested positive for a diuretic he used to shed weight.
"A subsequent positive finding could result in an enhanced punishment" in Nevada beyond the seven-month competition ban Chavez Jr. received the first time, Kizer said. "The commission will hear all the facts."

damn.. ya that's bad. most people don't think weed can 'enhance a fighter', but for someone like chavez jr, it can really give him extra chin.. he wasn't going to outspeed martinez, but any little bit of increased pain tolerance could help him.
martinez p4p
i really don't want to see a rematch, so this is good news in a way.. id rather see martinez vs mayweather, alvarez, or even ward who knows.
