As of Wednesday afternoon he had not appealed the ruling, according to CSAC Executive Officer Armando Garcia.
The cut-off level for Oxymorphone is 120ng/ml; Levens tested at 10,141ng/ml.

Another one? Jeez…
Why do they do this knowing damn well they can be tested anytime afterwards!!??
And, if I remember correctly, Levens didn’t even bother to make weight for his fight.
