Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley to be drug tested after all
The fight between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley will include drug tests, despite initial resports.
The plot thickens for the Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley fight. As talks about the fight has increased, one of the main things that has come to conversation has been the fact that neither Paul nor Woodley would be subjected to a drug test. This stems from the fact that the fight would not be for a title.
The Ohio State Athletic Commission has changed its tune and will now test both fighters following their match.
The Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley fight will include drug tests
The talks of the fight not having a drug test lasted all of a day before the State Athletic Commission announced that they would indeed test their fighters before fight time. Mike Bohn was first to report that the testing would not be administered, however less than 24 hours later the tides have changed.
According to the commission, they were short on tests, which is why they were not going to test Paul or Woodley, now that more tests have been acquired (or found) they will be tested.
Source: @jakepaul and @TWooodley will be tested for PEDs by the Ohio commission following the fight tonight. Initially, there was an issue with the number of test kits available. That’s been rectified. @MikeBohnMMA reported there wouldn’t be testing, which was correct at the time
