Tom ”Filthy” Lawlor har blivit flaggad av U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, USADA, på grund av en överträdelse vid en provtagning utanför tävlingssammanhang, ett så kallad ”out of competition test”. Provet togs den den tionde oktober och UFC har meddelat överträdelsen.
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. It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full fair legal review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. Consistent with all previous potential anti-doping violations, additional information or UFC statements will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.
Lawlor har vunnit sina två av tre senaste matcher men fick dock se sig besegrad av Corey Anderson via enhälligt domslut under UFC 196. Lawlor är avstängd tillsvidare provresultat fastställts.
