USDA: Brock Lesnar Fails Out of Competition Drug Test

From MMAJunkie

Brock Lesnar reportedly was tested five times after initial testing data was released by UFC anti-doping partner USADA.

Today, the promotion announced that Lesnar failed an out-of-competition test conducted June 28, or 11 days prior to his fight against Mark Hunt at UFC 200 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The positive test was reported by the WADA-accredited UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory on July 14, five days after the event.

Lesnar, per a release, has been notified of a potential anti-doping violation and is likely to receive a provisional suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which regulated the July 9 pay-per-view event.

Per the UFC and USADA’s standard procedure on potential doping violations, the substance for which Lesnar tested positive was not disclosed, and will not be unless the fighter discloses it or the results management process has concluded.

Returning to the octagon for the first time in five years, Lesnar (6-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC), a former heavyweight champion and pro wrestling champion in the WWE, evaded the heavy-handed Hunt (12-11-1 MMA, 7-5-1 UFC) and repeatedly took the fight to the mat and worked ground and pound. Judges gave him a unanimous decision by scores of 29-27.

Afterward, Lesnar reaffirmed his plans to return to the wrestling ring at the WWE’s “SummerSlam 2016” and said he would decide afterward whether to continue his comeback in MMA.
Here is the UFC’s full statement on Lesnar’s violation:

“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.”

Opinionated View- Well Brock has the right to have his B-sample tested. And if that confirms the results from A-sample than they move foreword. He could be suspended up to two years but that would only apply to MMA (In the US but that a whole other story)

The question is what would WWE do? They can't claim The wellness policy is better than USADA so if we didn't catch him than he's not on anything. I guess the could suspended but given it's Brock would we even notice? I mean in WWE the first strike is 30 days.

Honestly if I'm Brock I'm just blaming Jon Jones some how.
