UFC Fighter Test Negative to HGH, Steroids
July 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment
The Nevada State Athletic Commission’s traditional fight-night drug testing (HGH, steroids, etc) netted no failed tests at UFC 98.
All fighters were tested for drugs of abuse (such as marijuana and cocaine), as well as anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancers.
As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported a few weeks prior to the pay-per-view event, the NSAC also administered random pre-UFC 98 drug tests to Edgar, Hughes, Matt Serra and Sean Sherk. All four competitors passed the tests.
The NSAC’s year-round testing was implemented in 2008. MMA fighters are subject to drug testing at any time – for just about any reason – throughout the year, regardless of whether or not the fighter is scheduled for an upcoming event. However, the testing is usually reserved for scheduled fighters.
