Royce releases statement regarding his appeal of the CSAC suspension and fine

"I did not appeal the decision because I have been in Spain for the last 1 ½ [months] on vacation with my family, and for me to appeal, I would have to get a lawyer, and then get some experts to run tests and then get more experts to argue with their experts, or I can just pay $2500 fine, and sit out for one year. Well, I fight once a year anyway and it’s much cheaper to pay $2500 in fine then $10,000 retainer to attorneys alone. As for my fans, those who believe me, believe me anyway, and those who don’t, does not matter what I do, or what I say, they will not believe anyway."
