Preview Francisco Rodriguez Jr Still Set to Fight Despite Two-Year Doping Ban

Mexican flyweight Francisco “Chihuas” Rodriguez Jr is reportedly still scheduled to compete in an upcoming fight, despite recently being handed a two-year suspension from all sports operating under the World Anti-Doping Code. This ban stems from a positive drug test following his dominant performance against Galal Yafai in the United Kingdom.

UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) has officially confirmed that Rodriguez committed Anti-Doping Rule Violations, specifically concerning the presence and use of prohibited substances. The precise nature of the banned substance was not fully disclosed, but the confirmation of an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) is clear.
