Jarrell Miller can fight again in June, but must pass negative drug tests
The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), which consists of five members, unanimously voted to suspend Miller until June 16, 2022.
However, Anthony A Marnell III, the commissioner, suggested that the American be immediately eligible for a licence starting June 17.
Miller will still need to submit negative drug tests via a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association's (VADA), random drug testing program.
Miller, 33, was joined by his lawyers via conference call to the monthly agenda hearing of the commission at state headquarters in Vegas.

BoxingScene reports that Marnell stated, "The ball is in you court." You will serve the 24 month.
"It's up to you to decide what you do here."
Miller was given a backdated 24-month ban after he tested positive for GW501516, also known as endurobol and cardarine--ahead his July 9 fight against Jerry Forrest.
He was given the opportunity to receive a six-month reduction by compiling with random drugs testing terms. This means that he must submit at least two random drug test per month for six consecutive years.
Miller, however, was unable to pay for the testing program because he has not fought since November 2018.

"Financially, it is required that I pay legal fees. This is more than boxing. It's being there for my son and my mother."
Jeffrey Mullen, the executive director of NSAC was ready to reject Miller's application for a 12-week reduction based upon his past drug testing offenses.
Miller was found to have tested positive for a banned drug at a California kickboxing competition in June 2014. He was then suspended for nine months.
His most prominent controversy was before his June 2019 fight for the unified heavyweight title with Anthony Joshua in New York.
Miller failed three VADA test tests later and was replaced by Andy Ruiz Jr., who stunned AJ, but lost the rematch six month later.
After signing with Bob Arum's Top Rank stable, he was set to return in 2020. He then ran into his most recent drug-test shame.

Miller was financially supported in the last year by Greg Cohen and his manager. Miller also re-enrolled at VADA last summer and continues to train.
Although the ex-contender wants to be back in the ring within the next few months, no talks have been held as he approaches the end of his suspension.
