Jarrell Miller reportedly failed a second VADA test for another banned substance

Eddie Hearn already said that a new opponent will be named for Anthony Joshua next week for his June 1 U.S.-debut fight after Jarrell Miller was refused a boxing license for an “adverse finding” in a drug test.

Well, it just got reportedly even worse for “Big Baby.”

On Friday, ESPN reported that Miller failed a second VADA test. The second failed test is reportedly for HGH, ESPN reported further. This comes after Miller’s positive test for GW1516 (a banned substance) was found in a urine sample that VADA collected last month.

 

Following the adverse finding from the first drug test, Miller broke his silence Thursday by posting a lengthy message on his Instagram account, denying knowingly taking any banned substances.

I want to thank all of my supporters who have stood by me since day one and especially during this extremely difficult time. I have not been tuned in to social media and any other media outlets to focus and channel all of my energies into working hard with no distractions. I am absolutely devastated upon hearing the news my boxing license has been revoked in NY State and I will be vigorously appealing this decision. I have NEVER knowingly taken any banned substance and when I found out the news last night I was totally shocked. My team and I stand for integrity, decency & honesty and together we will stand to fight this with everything we have! This was a voluntarily test that I was very happy to do and these results came just one week after another voluntarily test that I had taken which was completely clean. I refuse to just lie down and let my dream be taken away from me when I know in my heart that I’ve done nothing wrong. 15 years of hard work. I’m WARRIOR .. I don’t need a banned substance. Remember don’t believe everything you hear and see. The facts will prevail and I shall be vindicate. I don’t have anything to hide and the truth will make itself known.

Like Joshua, Miller (23-0-1) is an undefeated fighter who had generated plenty of heat around the June 1 fight for pushing the unified world heavyweight champion across the stage during a colorful New York City press conference at Madison Square Garden back in February.
