Anderson Silva has been flagged by USADA for a possible doping violation.
After a wild weekend that left mixed martial arts fans filled with joy, the former middleweight champion popped for an unknown substance and has been pulled from his UFC Fight Night 122 main event bout against Kelvin Gastelum in Shanghai, China.
The potential violation stems from an out-of-competition drug test on Oct. 26.
The UFC has issued a statement regarding Silva’s suspension.

The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Anderson Silva of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on October 26, 2017. As a result, Silva has been provisionally suspended by USADA. Due to the proximity of Silva’s upcoming scheduled bout at UFC Fight Night, Shanghai, China on November 25, 2017 against Kelvin Gastelum, Silva has been removed from the card and UFC is currently seeking a replacement.
USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Silva. Under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair legal process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.

More information will be published as it becomes available.
