The following statement was issued by the UFC earlier today...
"The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Brock Lesnar of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collection on June 28, 2016. USADA received the testing results from the June 28, 2016 sample collection from the WADA-accredited UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory on the evening of July 14, 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 in close proximity to Lesnar’s bout 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."
Via his Twitter account, Ariel Helwani noted that Brock Lesnar was not flagged for any street drugs, which means that it could be steroids, supplements or something of that nature. Lesnar himself or anybody in his camp has made any kind of statement as of this writing and if the drug test does hold up in the end, Lesnar will be suspended for two years by USADA, which means he would not be able to fight again in any MMA organization until June of 2018.
