Another one bites the dust … potentially. On Thursday, the UFC announced middleweight veteran Tom Lawlor (pictured) has been flagged by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, the independent third-party company the UFC hired to conduct random drugs tests on their entire roster, for a possible violation.
“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Tom Lawlor of a potential Anti-Doping violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on October 10, 2016,” the UFC expressed in an all too familiar statement. “USADA has provisionally suspended Lawlor based on the potential anti-doping violation.
“USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case.
