UFC lightweight Marco Polo Reyes notified of potential doping violation
Marco Polo Reyes failed a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) drug test and has been notified of a potential UFC doping policy violation.
Promotion officials today announced the news, saying Reyes popped hot from an out-of-competition sample collected on March 8.
Reyes (8-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC) is coming off a 60-second knockout win over Matt Frevola (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 124 in St. Louis in January. He won a $50,000 performance bonus for the victory. The win got him back into the win column for the first time since a TKO loss to James Vick last May.
From USADA:
“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Marco Reyes of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on March 8, 2018.
“USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Reyes. Under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair legal process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.”
After the win, Reyes talked about giving consideration to a move from lightweight to featherweight.
