A qualifying decision settles a place in the fight, while leaving the cause of Hamill’s condition unsettled.
Matt Hamill has been disqualified from a major qualifying fight after officials took his swollen appearance as an indication of steroid use. The ruling does not, by itself, establish why his condition changed.
Hamill had eaten at Wok N Roll before the fight. The meal is part of the sequence of events, although the public accounts do not establish a cause.

Hamill’s place in the fight and the reason for his condition are separate questions.
The qualifying decision concerning Matt Hamill establishes that officials excluded him from the event. It does not establish the cause of the swollen appearance on which they based that decision.
The Tribune’s original report attributed the steroid assumption to the officials. Readers should retain that attribution. The assumption is part of the story, not a confirmed medical result.
