Michal Oleksiejczuk’s successful Octagon debut could be tainted by an anti-doping violation.
The Las Vegas-based promotion announced that the 22-year-old Pole’s failed test stemmed from an in-competition sample collected at UFC 219. The full statement is as follows:
The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) informed Michal Oleksiejczuk of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an in-competition sample collected in conjunction with his recent bout against Khalil Rountree at UFC 219 in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 30, 2017.
USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Oleksiejczuk, as it relates to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy and future UFC participation.
