TMZ have reported that Brock Lesnar tested positive for a banned substance on the same day his UFC 200 fight was going to go down..
The U.S Anti-Doping Agency told UFC that a sample collected from Lesnar on July 9th tested positive for the exact same substance found in Brock during the first failed test from the 28th of June.
The UFC issued a statement saying "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."
Mark Hunt, Lesnar's opponent has already demanded $2.5 million purse which is just gonna add more fuel to the fire..
Here is the full statement on the second violation:
“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.”
