James Irvin is caught in anti-doping

UFC Fight 14 really wasn't good for James Irvin, after the quick knockout suffered by Anderson Silva, in the Brazilian's light heavyweight debut, the American suffered another hard blow this afternoon. The Nevada Athletic Commission released the anti-doping test carried out on the day of the event and Irvin was caught using the substances methadone and oxymorphone, illegal before the Commission.

Methadone is a substance used to recover heroin addicts or to treat chronic pain, while oxymorphone is used for severe pain. Now the fighter will have 20 days to present his defense and try to escape the suspension
