It’s now clear why Neil Magny won’t be fighting Vicente Luque this weekend at UFC Fight Night: Dos Anjos vs. Lee in Rochester.
Magny, a longtime UFC welterweight, revealed in an Instagram post on Tuesday that he failed a USADA drug test ahead of a scheduled bout against Luque, which was expected to co-headline Saturday’s card.
Magny wrote on social media that he was informed May 11 that he had tested positive for the anabolic agent Di-Hydroxy-LGD-4033 in a May 5 out-of-competition drug test administered by the UFC’s anti-doping partner.
In his statement, Magny denied any wrongdoing and stated that he is “fully cooperating” with USADA to determine how the substance was found in his sample.
