UFC veteran Tom Lawlor flagged for potential anti-doping violation

UFC light heavyweight “Filthy” Tom Lawlor, who hasn’t fought since April and otherwise doesn’t have a fight booked, has been flagged by USADA for a possible violation of their anti-doping policy. The UFC released this statement on Thursday.

“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. 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.
