UFC fighter Chris Leben has tested positive for Stanazolol in a test administered by UFC on the day of his fight with Michael Bisping on 10/18 in Birmingham, England.
Leben, who lost a three-round decision, has been suspended for nine months by UFC and fined one-third of his undisclosed purse.
UFC President Dana White issued a statement on Monday commenting on Leben’s suspension. “I am obviously disappointed with Chris, who has made great strides getting his life back on track,” White told UFC.com. “To his credit, he has taken responsibility for his actions and is accepting the punishment that has been handed down. As always, the UFC puts the safety of its athletes first and foremost, and we won’t tolerate anyone using performance-enhancing drugs in our organization.”
