In a shocking turn of events, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar has been flagged for failing another USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) drug test the day of UFC 200, July 9th.
Keep in mind, this violation is on top of the first one, which he failed on June 28th.
According to a statement released by the UFC, Lesnar failed both tests for the same banned substance. USADA has yet to reveal the name of the drug and won’t unless Lesnar makes it public first himself.
According to the UFC’s anti-doping policy, two positive tests could be considered aggravating circumstances, which could lead to further sanctioning. In-competition is considered the 12-hour window before and after a fight. So to be clear, this now means that Lesnar has failed both an in-competition and out-of-competition drug test, which will make things much worse for Brock and will make his case weaker.
The Beast Incarnate is facing at least a two-year ban from the UFC, but will get a full adjudication process first from USADA. The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) also has jurisdiction, so Lesnar is likely to get sanctioned by both bodies.
