Today the California State Athletic Commission revealed that former UFC welterweight Jon Fitch failed a drug test for his WSOF 16 fight versus Rousimar Palhares.
Yet another high-profile fighter has failed a drug test, adding to this year’s rapidly expanding list of offenders.
The California State Athletic Commission today said onetime UFC and WSOF welterweight title challenger Jon Fitch (26-7-1) was flagged for an adverse result following a pre-fight drug test in connection with this past December’s WSOF 16, which aired on NBCSN.
The CSAC, which oversaw the Dec. 13 event at McClellan Conference Center in Sacramento, Calif., performed a CIR test on Fitch’s urine sample and confirmed the result. The commission declined to name the substance for which he was flagged. However, multiple sources close to the fighter indicated the test found elevated levels of testosterone.
The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss such matters publicly.
