On Wednesday afternoon, NSAC officials informed members of the MMA media via email that all the drug/steroid screening tests had been processed and were negative for participants at UFC 125, except for one. Keith Kizer, commissioner of the NSAC, confirmed to MMAFA.tv that Thiago Silva’s samples are still undergoing tests.
Silva, speaking to TATAME.com today, claimed that the first sample submitted to the NSAC tested positive for banned substances but his second sample came back negative, clearing the fighter of any wrongdoing.
Keith Kizer informed MMAFA.tv that this is false, and that the results of the second sample might not be known for a while:
That’s not accurate. We have gotten only the first sample back. It could be weeks before we find out the results for the second test.
