No matter the outcome of his drug testing issues with the Nevada Athletic Commission, it won’t affect Anderson Silva’s participation in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
It won’t affect his participation because Silva won’t be there, at least not as an athlete, according to manager Jorge Guimaraes.
“This issue of the Olympics has already been decided. Anderson won’t participate in the Olympics,” Guimaraes told Portal do Vale Tudo.
A black belt in Taekwondo, Silva previously said he wanted to try for a spot on the Brazilian Olympic team, so that he might compete in the Olympics on his home turf in 2016.
