Adam Hunter Suspended 2 Years for Anti-Doping Violation Prior to UFC Debut

Middleweight prospect Adam Hunter, who was supposed to make his Octagon debut against Ryan Janes at UFC on Fox 21 before being flagged for a potential anti-doping violation, was handed a two-year suspension on Friday.

USADA and the British Columbia Athletic Commission (BCAC) announced that Hunter failed a pre-fight out-of-competition drug test and tested positive for amoxifen metabolite, boldenone metabolites, methandienone metabolites, clenbuterol and drostanolone metabolites, all of which are banned substances.

Because of the wide spectrum of illegal substance found in Hunter’s sample, he has received a two-year sanction, retroactive to Aug.
