So let me get this straight; in the furtherance of legislating stupidity the WBC released a statement detailing what their "penalties" are regarding Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. testing positive for the "sticky sticky". This is the organization who through a process of clear cut nepotism robbed Sergio Martinez of what was his thus creating the back story for the ass kicking he dished out on Chavez Jr. in the first place! That's right i said ass kicking, I've sobered up since September 15th enough to see the difference between a KO and "almost a KO". Chavez Jr. who showed himself as the pugilistic version of a Spicoli (excellent!) should have been fined for the pink "man panties" alone; and even then i thought that fine should have been levied by HBO. So the Board of Governors also known as the "Chavez extended family" decided to fine the young buck $20,000 as if their extraneous fee's for toting their ill gotten belt into the ring wasn't enough. Oh yes, and of course the "organization" who cant be trusted to give the belt to the actual middleweight Champion wants us to know the loot will be donated to a medical center for the research of Cancer. They also put down an "indefinite" suspension, from "what"? receiving undeserved belts?. They should have kept that to themselves, that's like banning a lady from calling you that really never thought about you unless you called her. We all know the "man" makes the belt which is why the Ring Magazine belt matters and a Mexican organization would want the son of Julio Cesar Chavez wearing their plastic.Besides i think the Sanctioning thieves were only trying to jump the gun and beat the NSAC from taking what little purse the kid had left after going "all in" at the Casino's post fight. Now Nevada who routinely levies insane rulings is left to go for what Keith Kizer is quoting at close to a million bones-yeah good luck with that homie.
And what are we talking about here, a PED?
WADA's rules ask three questions about said illegal substance; does it hurt the athlete? does it enhance performance? and lastly is the substance against the "spirit" of the sport?.Chavez needed some PED's and even then he wouldn't have been as God Gifted as Martinez. I would suspect the marijuana gave him the peace of mind to talk shit and act as if he actually belonged in there, nothing more. The WBC isn't a Law Enforcement Agency, Marijuana is illegal but it's not as if Chavez was applying for a job for the Government ...although some in Mexico consider the sanctioning body "Government". The so called indefinite suspension will probably end right around the time Martinez heals from his injuries and the "fine" will be paid at a later date to rank Chavez (who will be a light heavyweight) the #2 middleweight in the world. Now, one could argue Chavez's use of the drug violated the "spirit and integrity" of the fight-that it contributed to a lackadaisical start that robbed consumers of a product they did not receive until the 12th round. If I'm a better for Chavez I'm putting my money down on his youth, body punching and size so I'd be pretty pissed to know his high ass didn't get in gear until round 10. and what about the kids godfather demanding drug treatment? isn't that the dumbest admission ever by a sanctioning body?. It confirms the WBC's relationship to Chavez Jr. as one of love and protection, you know the impropriety they were accused of when they robbed Martinez of his belt in the first place?. Do you think they give a damn if any other WBC titleholder gets his life together?, no, they care if the check clears. So let the NSAC pile on, levy another "suspension" that Bob Arum has 101 ways to circumvent and poke holes into. Theres no way Top Rank waits a year to capitalize from the 30 seconds of services rendered by Chavez that night..no way. The WBC? hopefully they can lay low and spare us any further stupidity,humor us a little, i mean shouldn't they be scheming about an ingenuous new way to strip Martinez again?.
