NAC Extends Brock Lesnar’s Temporary Suspension For Failed UFC Drug Tests

World Anti-Doping Agency Code (read the 2015 code here) states that the substances are more susceptible to credible non-doping explanations, such as contaminated or tainted products. But not because the circumstances have changed. Lesnar tested positive for the estrogen blocker clomiphene and its metabolite, hydroxy-clomiphene, the commission revealed. Meanwhile, the fighters can also request arbitration if they are dissatisfied with the penalty they receive.

The discovery of the prohibited drug has prompted suggestions that Lesnar could’ve been on a cycle of steroids before UFC 200.

USADA has yet to announce what kind of sanction it will impose on Jones and Lesnar. Thus, this is why Jones and Lesnar are facing a shorter suspension.

Prior to his return to the Octagon for UFC 200 last month, Lesnar was tested eight times. That would only come into play had he been notified of the first failure before the second test was administered.

If Lesnar, 6-3, is found guilty of knowingly ingesting the banned drug, he will be handed a two-year suspension. Prior to fighting Hunt, Lesnar had spent almost five years away from the sport after dealing with a brutal battle with diverticulitis. Neither USADA nor the commission has yet to hand out a punishment, but both men are expected to appear before the NSAC later this year. The two suspension lengths can be completely different.
