USADA claims another victim (Ben Rothwell)

[teamquestnorth]

Ben Rothwell is facing a UFC anti-doping policy violation stemming from a Feb. 6 sample collection, the UFC announced Tuesday. A potential violation typically occurs when a fighter fails a drug test or admits the use of a banned substance. The substance in question is not announced by the UFC nor USADA until the completion of the adjudication process unless the athlete divulges it first.

Rothwell, 35, was slated to face Fabricio Werdum at UFC 211 on May 13 in Dallas, but is now provisionally suspended pending the USADA investigation. It’s immediately unclear if the UFC will look for another opponent for Werdum for that card.

Dont forget he pissed hot against Vera and USADA will take that into consideration when handing down the penalty.

He very well could get 5

Fuck...that sucks. Getting to know Ben a bit throughout this Q&A process, I've learned that he's a really good dude. Down to earth like any of us. I'm sure @BirdWatcher and @Read some bell hooks can attest to that as well.

Hope this is a legit tainted supplement or something like that.

Very doubtful unfortunately.

5 years would be a career killer for him.

Bummer. The HW division is already pretty thin. And always liked watching Ben and his antics..

 

[Joemacka]

Lets get Overeem or Francis in there.

In for @Robbie Hart tears

 

[kneeblock]

I have a feeling managers and agents just keep this statement on their clipboard these days.

 

[Robbie Hart]

Usada should suspend him indefinitely until one of the guys who likes to look at penises all day gets time to look into it.....particualary if it has to do with an asthma inhaler or something that keeps him alive....as long as novitski can get his front row seat and can just suspend people, indefinitely for no reason I'm 100% happy
