Diego Sanchez was far from the only person getting fined and suspended by the California State Athletic Commision. 31 pro boxers and 23 MMA fighters were found to have marijuana and other substances in their systems during random drug tests before fights in the state. This figure is not all in the last month, but since March 2006

Fighters included Cesar Gracie, Bas Rutten, and TUF 1 fighter Lodune Sincaid. Rutten, according to the public record, was actually suspended 6 months for prescription painkillers, not marijuana. The entire list and details can be found in an Ivan Trembow article appearing at MMAWeekly.com. Ivan originally broke the story and also does a great blog located here. It is the kind of journalism and editorial content we try to support here at Wrestling Chronicle.com.
