Tom Lawlor is the latest UFC fighter to come under scrutiny by the USADA, receiving a provisional suspension for a potential USADA anti-doping violation.

Lawlor last fought at UFC 196, losing via decision to Corey Anderson. He is 10-6 overall with one no-contest, including 11 fights with the UFC since appearing on The Ultimate Fighter.

Below is a statement from the UFC:

The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Tom Lawlor of a potential Anti-Doping violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on October 10, 2016. USADA has provisionally suspended Lawlor based on the potential anti-doping violation.

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. Consistent with all previous potential anti-doping violations, additional information or UFC statements will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.
