In a recent interview with the Detroit Free Press, Claressa Shields explains her marijuana suspension for testing positive and the overturning of said suspension following her victory against Danielle Perkins back in February.
In March, Shields had a meeting with the Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission. During the meeting she presented them with a negative test as evidence.
The suspension was officially dissolved on March 14.
I guess it was three nanograms of marijuana in my system,” Shields said. “And hey, I’ve never smoked weed, I’ve never ate weed or anything. I definitely kept my innocence, defended my innocence.
