SILVA’S LIFETIME BAN OVERTURNED

By David Tees on 5/18/2015 2:56 PM

Wanderlei Silva’s lifetime ban for avoiding a UFC 175 pre-fight drug test has been overturned by a Nevada judge. The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) had issued Silva a lifetime ban for fleeing a drug test prior to UFC 175, which started a chain of events that lead to Silva being at odds with the UFC. Silva, despite now being able to fight, is still under a contract with the UFC, although he announced his retirement following the drug test issue.
