    Supposedly the latest failed test is his post-fight test. How he managed to fail a pre-fight, pass a later pre-fight, and fail a post-fight is beyond me.

    Time to retire. Legacy destroyed. Fedor remains the GOAT. GSP a close second.

    Jeremy Botter ‏@jeremybotter 5 mins5 minutes ago
    Silva tested positive for Oxazepam and Temazepam on the post-fight test.

    Brett Okamoto ‏@bokamotoESPN 3m3 minutes ago
    Anderson Silva also tests positive on fight night for anti-anxiety medication. Nick Diaz' PED test from fight night is clean, per NSAC.

    Ana Hissa ‏@AnaHissa 4m4 minutes ago
    Anderson tests positive for drostanolone - fight day - urine exam

    Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter · 9m 9 minutes ago
    Silva was sent a letter on February 12 notifying him of the failures.


    Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter · 9m 9 minutes ago
    NAC found out about the two Silva benzo failures on Feb 3. They received drostanolone result on Feb 10.

    Silvia's career is effectively over, IMO. There are reports out of Brazil that he will retire if not cleared. No way he is clearing his name from all of these substances.

    Diaz post fight test is clean.

    He failed his pre- and post-fight tests. So three sets of tests in total. Damn shame.

    Just to recap, Drostanolone aka Masteron is a common drug when it comes to failed tests in the UFC. Used primarily for shedding water weight. Completely illegal. In his system in the out-of-competition test and his fight day test.

    He also tested positive for androstane which is a generic term for synthetic testosterone. Testosterone is an anabolic steroid.

    You might recognize Oxazepam as Murelax which is a sedative and a sleep aid. Temazepam is more or less the same thing. Banned substances but only performance enhancers if, say, you were racked with anxiety over a failed test you knew would be revealed after the fight and tarnish your legacy in the eyes of your friends, family, and fan base.

    Some suggestion that 'experienced cheaters know how to cycle-off' on MMA UG.

    Hector Lombard pissed hot. So...

    The only test that he didn't fail was for HGH which a lot of people were suspicious of him using after seeing the pens in his closet on the All Access show a few years back.
