Anderson Silva gepakt op kalmerende middelen na 2e dopingtest
Feb 18, 2015 De UFC is aan het opschonen, en het gaat rap.
De resultaten van Anderson Silva's 2e test zijn binnen, en de uitkomst geeft aan dat Silva kort voor zijn partij met Diaz iets ingenomen heeft dat Oxazepam en Temazepam bevat, twee kalmerende middelen bekend als anti-stress medicatie.
De NSAC over de resultaten:
NSAC Executive Director, Bob Bennett, via ESPN :
"I can't speak for the (NSAC) Chairman nor can I speak for the commissioners. But something I find particularly concerning is that he tested positive on Jan. 9th and then he tested negative on Jan. 19th. If he took this orally, it only stays in your system 5-to-7 days. So, obviously, he used it sometime around Jan. 9th and then he used it shortly before the night of the fight. Whether the commission finds this egregious -- that he tested positive twice out of three times -- is up to them. I certainly find it concerning and unacceptable. It gives an unfair advantage to the person on that. God forbid, a serious injury were to occur to an opponent when someone is on something."
