brock-lesnar-ufc-sad

Brock Lesnar has apparently failed a second USADA test. UFC.com issued the following statement on Tuesday afternoon:

“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Brock Lesnar that his in-competition sample collection from July 9, 2016, at UFC 200, has tested positive for the same substance as his previously announced out-of-competition collection on June 28, 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 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.”

In a move likely to clean up the roster and free some money for free agents like Rory MacDonald, Bellator MMA has parted ways with seven fighters, including former title challenger Dave Jansen.

According to a report by MMAjunkie, Jansen, Mike Richman, Mikkel Parlo, Raphael Butler, Houston Alexander, Isao Kobayashi and Thiago Goncalves Jambo have all been released.

Jansen (20-4) fought for the Bellator title against then-champion Will Brooks, suffering his first loss in seven fights at that time. He also was bested by top contender Marcin Held after the Brooks loss.

Richman is currently serving a two-year suspension after failing a drug test, while Jambo announced his retirement recently after dropping his promotional debut.

Alexander is a former UFC fighter who has gone 16-14-1 over his career, but just 1-3-1 with Bellator. Parlo and Butler each won four of their bouts with Bellator.

Jon Jones Tests Positive For 2 Estrogen Blockers, Issued Temporary Suspension

On Monday the NAC confirmed the two substances that Jon Jones tested positive for during an out-of-competition test that he was given on June 16th.

Jones tested positive for hydroxy-clomiphene, “an anti-estrogenic agent” and “letrozole metabolite,” an “aromatase inhibitor,” for the tests he took for his fight scheduled at UFC 200 against Daniel Cormier, a fight he was eventually pulled from due to the positive test result.

A temporary suspension was put on the fight license of Jones, with a hearing scheduled later this year to determine the severity of his punishment.
