positive for methamphetamine following his stoppage loss to

Angeles Times reported.
Persey, who was a replacement for Antonio Silva (Pictures) after the Brazilian fell off the FEG-promoted card due to medical concerns stemming from testing done by the California State Athletic Commission, faces a $1,000 fine and a six-month suspension.
"Mr. Persey has 30 days from the date on his suspension letter to appeal the suspension in writing and request a hearing before the California State Athletic Commission," said CSAC representative Bill Douglas.
