Recently caught in an anti-doping test after UFC events held in July, Robert Drysdale and Kevin Casey received temporary suspensions from the Nevada Athletic Commission this Thursday (21).
North American son of a Brazilian mother Drysdale, world jiu-jitsu champion, had submitted Keith Berish in the TUF 19 Finale, on July 6, but had an epitestosterone level above the permitted level, with a ratio of 12 to 1. He I had already faced problems with the subject in the past, as his UFC debut was postponed after not receiving authorization to compete at UFC 167.
Kevin Casey, who knocked out Bubba Bush the day before, at UFC 175, was caught using drostanolone, an anabolic substance frequently used by bodybuilders.
The definitive punishment to the athletes will be given in a future hearing to be held by the Nevada Commission, when changes in the results of the fights for no-contest.
