    “After reexamination of the documents in our possession and careful examination of the Sample B results, your 90-day suspension is lifted effective June 29, 2017, the enforcement case dropped with no further action taken, and the bout ‘win’ reinstated on your record,” said the document sent to Casey by TDLR executive director Brian Francis.

    In the letter, Francis apologized for the delay in his decision, but he wrote he “wanted to have all the informational available” for consideration.

    Novitzky told MMA Fighting last week that he thought it was “sickening” how Casey was treated by the TDLR. He said an elevated T:E ratio does not constitute a failure and sanctioning her and releasing that information was a mortal sin in the world of anti-doping.

    Francis wrote in the letter that the TDLR “followed Department protocol” in issuing her the sanctions after the test results showed an elevated T:E ratio.

    On Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, Casey told Ariel Helwani that she had been harassed while shopping about being a “cheater” and her daughter was asked about the situation by a friend. Casey said people even contacted her parents about it.
