Another positive test from Affliction?

by ghettoiam on Jul 30, 2008 1:42 PM EDT Comment 12 comments

We all know Justin Levens tested positive for ridiculous amount Oxymorphone (1041 ng/ml) and banned from 6 months by the CSAC. Ironically, he didn't even get to fight on the Affliction show - his match was bumped.

Bill Douglas from the CSAC was on the July 29 edition of the Figure Four Daily radio show and not only spoke about the Justin Levens failure but alluded to another.

In speaking about testing for anabolic agents (steroids) on the Affliction show, Bill Douglas said:

If I give out names, people will be able to go down a list and pick and be able to look at the bout sheet and know exactly who is clean and who has something pending. And there is absolutely something that is going for confirmation. So at this point I cannot clear anyone on the Affliction show anabolic agents.

Basically, not everyone has come back clean and he can't say who passed because then we can deduce who failed.

Also, the reason why the Levens and Irvin failures have come back already is because oxymorphone is consider a "drug of abuse" (painkillers, marijuiana. et cetera) and not an anabolic agent. Testing for anabolics require a few more days.

Bill Doulgas also said that excluding the EliteXC and Affliction show, they're expecting to issue at least 5 notices of failures in the coming week. Ouch.

Stay clean!

At least 5 notices excluding EliteXC and Affliction? That leaves what… just the UFC show?

UFC hasn’t held a show in California since UFC 76.

Man, these guys are getting really lackadaisical with their cheating.

Wow! I am a bit surprised that it is so many.

The 5

The five could include fighters from the UFC show but in addition to that it includes fighters from other smaller organizations that have had shows in the last couple of weeks.

They’re all tested by the CSAC.

The hammer is coming down!

“The five could include fighters from the UFC show “

What UFC show? The UFC has not had an event in California since September 2007.

Point taken.

I was just referring to Nick’s question directly – I didn’t catch the reply.

Maybe Nick didn’t phrase that last line correctly.

Bill Doulgas also said that excluding the EliteXC and Affliction show, they’re expecting to issue at least 5 notices of failures in the coming week.

It leads us to believe that UFC is the only organization left for drug test results.

Yeah, is it possible there are any other smaller MMA shows? Or did he say including?

There is no way any of the notices could be UFC fighters…unless they have been withholding test results since September 2007.

It's happened before..kinda

I believe it took about 3-4 months for the story to break about Diego Sanchez testing positive for marijuana. Almost a year later would be rather odd to finally release names. My guess is as others have stated either they meant “including” as opposed to excluding OR it’s just smaller shows.
