Drug testing for UFC 112 comes back with clean sweep
April 22nd 2010
All fighters who underwent drug testing at this month's UFC 112 event tested clean for performance-enhancing drugs and recreational/drugs of abuse, UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (http://www.mmajunkie.com/)
UFC 112 took place April 10 at Concert Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and aired on pay-per-view.
According to Ratner, UFC officials paid for and flew to the host site a drug tester from UK. As with most overseas shows, in which no regulatory bodies exist, the UFC served as its own regulator for UFC 112. Ratner, a former head of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, headed the efforts.
The UFC tested UFC 112's co-main-event competitors – UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and opponent Demian Maia, as well as newly crowned lightweight champ Frankie Edgar and opponent B.J. Penn. Others from the card were tested at random.
All the chosen competitors tested negative for drugs of abuse (such as marijuana and cocaine), as well as anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancers.
