The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) informed Kelvin Gastelum of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation involving Carboxy-Tetrahydrocannabinol (“Carboxy-THC”) which is a metabolite of marijuana and/or hashish, above the decision limit of 180 ng/mL, stemming from an in-competition sample collected in conjunction with his recent bout in Fortaleza, Brazil on March 11, 2017.

I instantly don't care when I hear a fighter was busted for weed. They bleed for us- let them get high.

I should also note that this means that he's been pulled from his fight with Anderson in RIO.

I wonder if Vitor is going to be doubting the power of Cheezus now that he was beaten badly by a guy on the devil's lettuce?

I knew he had to cheat to beat Vitor.

Lets get the win overturned and lets run it back.

This time without interference from USADA

Turok 2.0 is ok in my books, hence being in my avatar.

But I certainly don't think 'straight shooter' when he has never taken responsibility for his unprecedented lack of professionalism, over weight cutting - and still acts delusional about it. Or whines about title shot fairness while trying to get his own by fighting octogenarians.

Assuming he doesn't win his appeal, this should happen.

His win over Vitor Belfort will be overturned to a No Contest.
His 50k "Performance of the Night" bonus will be rescinded.
He has been pulled from his UFC 212 fight against Anderson Silva in Rio as the co-main event
If suspended for 6 months, he'll be eligible to fight again on September 11th.

CABMMA don't play.

Since GSP is delaying things and Bisping says he wants to fight, Bisping should be the replacement and rematch Anderson and try to not get knocked out this time, and they can make it for a real belt.

Could a fighter get busted if the test showed he had had a few beers before the fight?

Serious question.

Yes. Gimme a minute and I'll even find the code.



*Edit*
Scratch that. I think that's something that many states have but surprisingly it's not really part of the WADA code which is what USADA follows for it's list.

"Alcohol (ethanol) is prohibited In-Competition only,
in the following sports. Detection will be conducted by
analysis of breath and/or blood. The doping violation
threshold is equivalent to a blood alcohol concentration
of 0.10 g/L.
• Air Sports (FAI) • Automobile (FIA)
• Archery (WA) • Powerboating (UIM)"

Yep, he could only have this after the fight. Alcohol is a big no-no.
