The state’s Unarmed Combat Commission moved to suspend and investigate Shields after a saliva swab tested positive for marijuana. Now, the boxer is denying that she ever smoked and clearing the air amongst her supporters by sharing her two test results.

Details On Claressa Shields’ Michigan Boxing Suspension

ESPN reports that officials took Shields’s “oral fluid sample” in early February after her win against Danielle Perkins. On the time, the test indicated the presence of weed–a banned substance in competitive sports. On Thursday (February 20), the Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission dragged Claressa Shields of their statement.

“Ms. Shields’ conduct as a licensed skilled boxer constitutes a right away threat to the integrity of skilled boxing, the general public interest, and the welfare and safety of skilled athletes,” it reportedly stated.

While the Unarmed Combat Commission weighs whether it’s going to take disciplinary motion, the World Boxing Organization demands a proper explanation from Shields. Mind you, Claressa is a BIG DAWG in skilled boxing. She is the one boxer to carry every major world title, says ESPN, from the WBA to the WBC, IBF, and WBO.

Boxer Shares Timeline Of Test Results In Social Media Clap Backs

Now that we understand what’s happening let’s get into Claressa clapping back on the marijuana allegations. She seemingly began addressing bubbling reports of her failed test last week. On Valentine’s Day, she replied to a tweet in regards to the topic, writing, “NICE TRY HATERS 😂 DON’T Ever attempt to put no bullshit on me. CLEAN ATHLETES WIN,” she wrote. In a separate tweet, she seemingly labeled the drug results dispute a lie.

Nevertheless, Claressa Shields has been stepping into the last two days about her alleged innocence. On the twentieth, she spoke about why she won’t defend a lie. “On my soul can’t no person tarnish my image. It’s a short lived suspension til I am going to trial for this very small amount of marijuana. I’m not SUSPENDED from Boxing, I’m not stripped of my titles. I’m just waiting. Also, I can’t defend a lie! Do your research,” Shields tweeted.

The boxing champion thanked her supporters the next day for standing by her. She also retweeted a supportive statement from her boxing promoter, Dmitriy Salita, who denied that Claressa uses illicit drugs of any kind.

Late Friday (February 21), Claressa Shields hopped over to Instagram together with her drug test results, a timeline, and a proof. She uploaded the documents in regards to the oral swab test, taken on the third, and the urine test, which was collected on the eighth. As mentioned, the saliva swab yielded a positive result, while the urine showed a negative result. In her caption, she wrote:

“A urine tests — essentially the most reliable testing method — can detect weed for as much as 30 days in your urine, and got here back negative. The moment I received the saliva test result, I acted immediately to schedule a follow-up urine test to make sure complete clarity. These results confirm that I’ve been clean and in full compliance your entire time. I’ve at all times competed clean, and I stand by that. I take my integrity seriously inside and out of doors the ring.”

While things are getting heated regarding the ring, the identical could be said for Claressa Shields’ life outside it!  Though this sort of heat seems greater than welcomed! The champion and her recent bae, Remy Ma’s estranged husband Papoose, were recently spotted still going strong in Hawai’i.
