The UFC fighter TJ Dillashaw has been suspended after he turned positive in a drug-test result and voluntarily surrendered his title.
Las Vegas – the American mixed martial arts fighter Tyler Jeffrey Picoshaw failed on the result of his recent drug test.
The New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) and USADA informed Dillashaw about the findings.
The 33-year-old fighter has voluntarily surrendered his UFC bantamweight title as respect to his division.
The MMA fighter temporarily vacates his positions while dealing on the issue until he resolved the situation.
Here’s the full post:
“To all my fans, I wanted to be the first one to let you know that USADA and the NYSAC have informed me of an adverse finding in a test taken from my last fight. While words can’t even begin to express how disappointed I am at this time, please know that I’m working with my team to understand what has occurred and how to resolve this situation as quickly as possible. Out of fairness and respect to the rest of the my division, I’ve informed the UFC that I’ll be voluntarily relinquishing my title while I deal with this matter. I want to thank all of you in advance.”
NYSAC also suspends Dillashaw for a year and charged him with a fine of $10,000 for allegedly violating the law by using an illegal substance.
