Brock Lesnar Receives One Year Suspension From USADA

The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has followed the lead of the Nevada State Athletic Commission regarding former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar’s multiple failed drug tests surrounding his UFC 200 (July 9, 2016) bout against Mark Hunt. Like the commission, USADA has handed Lesnar a one year suspension according to a report from MMAFighting.com.

The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has followed the lead of the Nevada State Athletic Commission regarding former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar’s multiple failed drug tests surrounding his UFC 200 (July 9, 2016) bout against Mark Hunt. Like the commission, USADA has handed Lesnar a one year suspension according to a report from MMAFighting.com.

While it’s unclear whether or not he’ll ever fight again, Lesnar will be able to compete again on July 15, 2017, as the suspension is retroactive to when his provisional suspension begun. The ex-champion failed two drug tests with one being an out-of-competition test and one being an in-competition test.

In addition to his punishment from USADA and his suspension from the commission, Lesnar was also fined $250,000 by the NSAC.

Despite his failed test, Lesnar did in fact compete at UFC 200, as he scored a dominant decision victory over Hunt, although it has since been changed to a no-contest. Both the UFC and Lesnar have come under extreme criticism, as Lesnar was given an exemption from entering the USADA testing pool four months prior to his return.

Hunt has also unleashed on the UFC and Lesnar and he’s threatened the UFC with a lawsuit.

Do you feel as if the punishment fits the crime for the former heavyweight kingpin?

Mark Hunt Reacts To Brock Lesnar’s NSAC Suspension

Yesterday (Dec. 15, 2016), the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) handed former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar a one year suspension and a $250,000 fine for failing multiple drug tests surrounding his UFC 200 (July 9, 2016) bout with Mark Hunt.

Yesterday (Dec. 15, 2016), the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) handed former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar a one year suspension and a $250,000 fine for failing multiple drug tests surrounding his UFC 200 (July 9, 2016) bout with Mark Hunt. Lesnar won the bout via decision, although it has sense been changed to a no contest.

In the months since the event, Hunt has made his feelings well known, constantly blasting Lesnar as well as the UFC. Recently speaking with MMAFighting, “The Super Samoan” reacted to Lesnar’s punishment:

“It’s not harsh enough considering he gets the same [punishment] as Jon Jones and Jones didn’t fight,” Hunt said. “Would that penalty have sufficed if I had died or been maimed?”

Jones also failed a drug test prior to UFC 200, although he was pulled from his scheduled main event bout just days before the event.

Hunt has hired a lawyer in recent months in hopes of getting a clause in his contract that protects him from this type of scenario happening to him again. “The Super Samoan” says he’s waiting for the UFC to respond and he admits that he’s willing to take part in a lawsuit:

“I am still waiting on UFC,” he said. “Will they allow my clause or [will] we get into a lawsuit so the whole world can watch?”

What do you make of Lesnar’s suspension?

NAC Suspends, Fines Brock Lesnar For UFC 200 Test Failures

Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has finally been dealt his punishment from the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) for two failed drug tests before and after his UFC 200 win over Mark Hunt.

Lesnar will be suspended for one year and will also pay a $250,000 fine in a settlement he reached with the Nevada attorney general’s office. The hulking WWE star tested positive for estrogen blocker Hydroxy-clomiphene twice during his match with Hunt, first in a June 28 out-of-competition test issued by the UFC’s anti-doping partner USADA, and the second directly after his co-main event bout with Hunt at the massive summer card, which he originally won by unanimous decision.

The win will be changed to a no contest, and the fine equals 10 percent of Lesnar’s then-record $2.5 million disclosed purse. The suspension almost definitely means the 39-year-old Lesnar, who had been out of MMA for almost five years when he shocked most by revealing his return in June, is finished fighting in the UFC.

His test failures have incited a monstrous backlash from Hunt, who has been irate in demanding half of Lesnar’s purse due to his belief his health was legitimately at risk. The fan favorite knockout slugger has publicly blasted the UFC for granting Lesnar a special exemption from the normal USADA returning procedure, supposedly turning down two fights and gearing up for a legal battle against his employers.

It remains to be seen what comes to fruition from that bitter battle, but Lesnar has been dealth essentially the same sit that former light heavyweight ruler Jon Jones received, interestingly enough, for testing positive for the same substance before his scheduled UFC 200 match-up with Daniel Cormier that was canceled.

Lesnar was allowed to fight, and he dominated. Was the punishment enough?

When it was announced that Brock Lesnar had failed a drug test surrounding his UFC 200 (July 9, 2016) co-main event bout with Mark Hunt, a bout in which he competed in and won via unanimous decision, “The Super Samoan” went on an epic tirade blasting not only Lesnar, but the UFC as well.

Shortly after the news was announced, Lesnar was given a temporary suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC). “The Beast” was scheduled to finally appear in front of the commission earlier this week, but he was granted extra time. He has also hired a lawyer, Howard Jacobs, to prepare his defense, and apparently Jacobs needs ‘more time’.

To no surprise, Hunt isn’t too pleased with the extra time given to Lesnar, and the former K-1 champion took to his official Twitter account to once again rip into the former heavyweight champion:

It has not yet been made clear when Lesnar will in fact meet with the commission, but what’s your take on the situation? Do you agree with Hunt, or has he blown things out of proportion?
