UFC middleweight Bruno Silva has accepted a six-month suspension for a “likely unintentional” violation of the promotion’s anti-doping policy.
UFC’s in-house anti-doping partner Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) announced the news Friday, stating that Silva tested positive for the presence of 3a-Hydroxy-2a-methyl-5a-androstan-17-one — a metabolite of drostanolone — in a out-of-competition urine sample collected on April 11, with an estimated concentration of less than 1ng/ml.
