Boxing champ Toney could be suspended after failing steroid test
LOS ANGELES — Three-time champion James Toney tested positive for steroids and could face a one-year suspension from boxing.
Armando Garcia, the California State Athletic Commission's executive officer, said Wednesday that Toney and Danny Batchelder, his opponent in a heavyweight bout May 24 in San Jose, tested positive for two types of steroids. They were suspended indefinitely.
Toney tested positive for boldenone and stanazolol, and Batchelder tested positive for stanazolol and oxandolone, Garcia said.
