MMA star Ken Shamrock, who last competed for WarGods on February 13 in Fresno, has been suspended for testing positive for the following anabolic agents:
1) 19-Norandrosterone
2) 19-Noretiocholanolone
3) Stanozolol
Shamrock has been fined $2,500 and has a right to appeal.
Update: Despite the suspension, Square Ring Promotions officials announced Thursday morning that they hope Shamrock will fight Bobby Lahley at its March 21 pro boxing/MMA pay-per-view event scheduled for the Pensacola, Fla. Civic Center.
Eight-time world boxing champion Roy Jones, Jr. (52-5, 38 KOs) takes on four-time world title challenger Omar Sheika (27-8, 18 KOs) in the main event on the hybrid show.
"The show will go on," Square Ring Promotions CEO John Wirt said. "Ken said he was taking over-the-counter products and has requested an expedited appeal. We’re working with his group but, just in case, we are also looking for a possible replacement to fight Bobby Lashley. We have indentified some great replacements for Shamrock and have been in contact with them. A press release will be issued very soon as to which direction we will be going."
Translation -- Shamrock isn't fighting.
