Igår kväll släpptes nyheten att welterviktaren Hector Lombard testat positivt för den anabola steroiden desoxymethyltestosterone. UFC släpper nu ett uttalande gällande situationen som uppstått.
“The UFC has been notified by the Nevada State Athletic Commission that UFC welterweight Hector Lombard has tested positive for a banned substance following his fight at ‘UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier’ on Jan. 3, 2015 in Las Vegas,” the UFC’s statement reads. “The UFC has a strict, consistent policy against the use of any illegal and/or performance enhancing drugs, stimulants or masking agents by our athletes. As a result of his positive test, Lombard has been informed that he has violated the UFC Fighter Conduct Policy and Promotional Agreement with Zuffa, LLC. The UFC will cooperate with the commission on the matter and fully supports Lombard’s right to a due process hearing before the commission.”
Detta innebär att hans vinst mot Josh Burkman under UFC 182 förmodligen kommer ändras till en no contest. Sen väntar nog en avstängning på upp till ett år. Mer information gällande denna situation kommer släppas inom de kommande dagarna.
