Two months ago, newly signed UFC middleweight Adam “Warhammer” Hunter was scheduled to make his debut against Ryan Janes. Just one day before the fight (and after he’d already weighed in), Hunter was pulled from the card due to a potential anti-doping violation stemming from an out-of-competition USADA drug test.
We now have an update on the Canadian fighter’s status, and USADA has indeed handed down a two-year ban. The official USADA press release has the details, and you’re probably wondering what Hunter didn’t fail for.
“Hunter, 32, tested positive for tamoxifen metabolite, boldenone metabolites, methandienone metabolites, drostanolone metabolite, and clenbuterol following an out-of-competition urine test ordered by USADA and conducted by one of its partner national anti-doping organizations, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, on August 11, 2016.
