The high of Saturday’s entertaining UFC 183 headliner between Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz quickly wore off tonight when news broke both men failed drug tests related to the event.
Silva (34-6 MMA, 17-2 UFC) flunked an out-of-competition pre-fight test administered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Jan. 9. The results came in today and revealed the former UFC middleweight champion tested positive for Drostanolone metabolites, which indicates the use of an anabolic steroid, as well as androsterone, a form of endogenous testosterone.
Diaz (26-10 MMA, 7-7 UFC), according to a report from Yahoo! Sports’ Kevin Iole, had an amount of marijuana metabolites over the allowable limit of 150 nanograms in his post-fight test. UFC officials subsequently confirmed the former Strikeforce champion’s failed test.
