Middleweight Adam Hunter never had the chance to debut at UFC on FOX 21 this past August after getting flagged by United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for a potential violation just 24 hours before the event. He's been awaiting a verdict regarding a possible suspension ever since.
Unforuntately for Hunter, who tested posititve for five banned substances during an out-of-competition test dating back to Aug. 11, USADA has flexed its muscles, suspending the 33-year-old for two years. USADA officials released the following statement earlier today (Fri., Oct. 28, 2016):
Hunter, 32, tested positive for tamoxifen metabolite, boldenone metabolites, methandienone metabolites, drostanolone metabolite, and clenbuterol following an out-of-competition urine test ordered by USADA and conducted by one of its partner national anti-doping organizations, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, on August 11, 2016.
