B.J. Penn var tänkt att ta sig an Cole Miller under UFC 199 den 4 juni, men plockas nu bort från kortet på grund av en USADA-överträdelse. Penn ska nämligen ha använt sig av IV (dropp), och detta hade UFC att säga om det hela:
The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) informed BJ Penn of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation. Penn disclosed the usage of a prohibited method – the use of an IV in excess of 50 ML in a six-hour period – during a March 25, 2016, out-of-competition sample collection. In accordance with the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, Penn has received a provisional suspension, and has been removed from his scheduled bout against Cole Miller on June 4 in Los Angeles.
UFC will announce a replacement opponent for Miller shortly, and additional information will be provided by USADA and UFC at the appropriate time as the process involving Penn moves forward.
Vem Miller kommer att få möta istället, återstår därmed att se.
