It’s official, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has notified the UFC that Brock Lesnar Failed 2nd Drug Test!!!
Flip and get more details on Brock Lesnar failing his 2nd drug test…
CelebNSports247.com has just got word that UFC officials were informed Tuesday that Brock Lesnar, 39, failed a fight night drug test at UFC 200 on July 9 in Las Vegas.
The former heavyweight champion and WWE star Brock Lesnar is most likely going to be fined and now may lose half of his $2.5 winnings for failing his drug test.
FYI: Notice how cut up he is above compared to how he normally looks, as in weigh in photo below?
ESPN reports:
Results showed the presence of the same unidentified banned substance Lesnar tested positive for on June 28.
The substance that Lesnar tested positive for hasn’t been officially identified, but a source told ESPN that the flagged substance is clomiphene, the same anti-estrogen blocker that Jon Jones tested positive for.
Neither of those test results were available to the promotion on July 9, which is how Lesnar (6-3) was still able to fight Mark Hunt at T-Mobile Arena. Lesnar won the fight via unanimous decision.
Lesnar, who is still under contract with the WWE and came out of retirement to face Hunt earlier this month, has not said much on the initial June 28 test. He told The Associated Press last week, “We will get to the bottom of this.”
His appearance at UFC 200 marked Lesnar’s first professional fight since December 2011. His financial purse, as reported to the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), was $2.5 million.
As a result of failing his drug test, Lesnar will also be subject to the jurisdiction of the NSAC. The UFC and NSAC withhold the right to fine and suspend Lesnar, in the result of a confirmed doping violation. Lesnar has not publicly disclosed whether he intends to have his B-samples tested.
The UFC said in a statement:
“It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full fair legal review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed.”
“The Nevada State Athletic Commission also retains jurisdiction over this matter as the sample collection was performed at UFC 200 in Las Vegas.”
“Consistent with all previous potential anti-doping violations, additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.”
