Francisco Rodriguez Jr's recent upset win over Galal Yafai has been overshadowed by a failed VADA drug test, revealing an 'adverse analytical finding'. The test results were communicated to key boxing organizations, and Rodriguez's team has the option to test the 'B' sample. This incident adds to the controversy surrounding Rodriguez's training team, No Boxing, No Life, following another fighter's similar issue.
Key Points
Francisco Rodriguez Jr failed a VADA drug test after defeating Galal Yafai on June 21.
The test results were shared with Matchroom Boxing, WBC, and the BBBofC for further investigation.
Rodriguez's team can request a 'B' sample test, though outcomes rarely differ from the 'A' sample.
If the 'B' sample confirms the finding, Rodriguez's win may be changed to a no-contest.

Sunny Edwards suggested during the fight that Rodriguez might be using performance-enhancing drugs, leading to public criticism.
