Claressa Shields Addresses Boxing Suspension Following Positive Marijuana Test

Claressa Shields has been having a tough time following her boxing suspension for testing positive for marijuana.

The 29-year-old appeared on Tamron Hall to explain how her oral mouth swab could have come back positive after her match in Michigan.

“One, the place reeked of marijuana,” Shields explained, describing the venue where the boxing match occurred. “Before I got to do the mouth swab, everybody was hugging and kissing me in Flint. … I know some boxers don’t stop and greet the fans but I’m not one of them. I hugged and kissed everybody back.”
