What Happened?

Three-weight boxing champion Claressa Shields has been suspended after testing positive for marijuana following her recent win against Danielle Perkins.

Investigation Underway

The Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission has suspended Shields and is investigating the matter, as marijuana is on the banned list of the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Response from Shields

Shields, who claimed to be a 'clean athlete', faces scrutiny from both the World Boxing Organisation and the Michigan Commission, with the latter stating her conduct poses a threat to professional boxing's integrity.

What's Next?

Shields has been asked to explain the situation by the WBO, while the Michigan Commission is conducting its own probe to determine if disciplinary action is warranted.
