Den norske welterviktaren Emil Weber Meeks UFC-debut skjuts upp. Det meddelade UFC via ett pressmeddelande under onsdagen, där det framkommer att norrmannen genomgår ett medicinskbehandling för tillfället som kan ge positivt utslag vid en eventuell dopningskontroll.
As part of the athlete onboarding process, Emil Meek voluntarily disclosed medical treatment he received prior to signing with UFC that is potentially out of compliance with UFC’s Anti-Doping Policy. As a result, Meek will not compete in his previously scheduled bout on September 3, 2016 in Hamburg, Germany in order to allow him time to consult with his physician and evaluate his medical treatment.
Given Meek’s medical treatment occurred before his signing with UFC, he is not subject to any potential anti-doping violations under the policy relating to that treatment. However, UFC is requiring Meek to be enrolled in USADA’s registered testing pool for a period of four months before he is placed on a fight card in the future.
Meek var inbokat för ett möte mot Jessin Ayari på UFC Fight Night 93 som äger rum den 3:e september i Hamburg, Tyskland. UFC kommer leta efter en ny ersättare till Ayari.
