On Friday afternoon, the UFC received notification from USADA that heavyweight Brock Lesnar had potentially violated the anti-doping policy.

UFC notified of potential anti-doping violation by Brock Lesnar

The UFC released the following statement:

“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Brock Lesnar of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collection on June 28, 2016. USADA received the testing results from the June 28, 2016 sample collection from the WADA-accredited UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory on the evening of July 14, 2016.

“USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case. 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 in close proximity to Lesnar’s bout 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.”

Lesnar (6-3) returned to the Octagon for the first time since 2011 at UFC 200. He took on the always dangerous Mark Hunt and was able to beat the odds and earn a unanimous decision.
As USADA has yet to divulge the cause of the doping violation, keep it locked to MMASucka.com for more on the Lesnar violation.
