Michal Oleksiejczuk notified of flagged anti-doping test
The UFC was notified today that USADA informed Michal Oleksiejczuk of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an in-competition sample.
UFC light heavyweight Michal Oleksiejczuk had an anti-doping test flagged by USADA. The news comes via UFC.com.
The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) informed Michal Oleksiejczuk of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an in-competition sample collected in conjunction with his recent bout against Khalil Roundtree at UFC 219 in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 30, 2017.
USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Oleksiejczuk, as it relates to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy and future UFC participation. Because the Nevada Athletic Commission was the regulatory body overseeing the fight in Las Vegas and has licensing jurisdiction over Oleksiejczuk, USADA will work to ensure that the Nevada Athletic Commission has the necessary information to determine its proper judgment of Oleksiejczuk’s potential anti-doping violation. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.
The Polish fighter is currently on a ten-fight win streak. The Rountree fight at UFC 219 in December was his first in the UFC. Given that a significant number of flagged tests end up with a finding of diminished or no fault, the fighter should be presumed innocent of any wrong doing until a final determination is announced.
