Eloy Perez Tests Positive For Cocaine in Broner Loss
In an unfortunate development, a source close to the situation has advised BoxingScene.com that Eloy Perez has tested positive for cocaine following his fourth-round stoppage loss to Adrien Broner in St. Louis on February 25.
Team Perez reportedly received a letter from the Missouri commission on Monday stating the positive result. His license will be revoked indefinitely pending a hearing.
The Garcia Boxing Management Team, which handles Perez, gave BoxingScene.com this statement when asked about the matter:
“On Monday, March 12, Garcia Boxing has released Eloy Perez of any contractual obligation. Due to pending matters, we are not at liberty to discuss his personal or professional conduct.”
