UFC said it was notified late on Thursday of the potential
violation that stemmed from an out-of-competition test on June
28, just days before Lesnar had his first UFC fight in more than
four years.
"USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping
Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate
adjudication of this case," UFC said in a statement.
"The Nevada State Athletic Commission also retains jurisdiction
over this matter as the sample collection was performed in close
proximity to Lesnar's bout at UFC 200 in Las Vegas."
Lesnar, 39, competed in UFC 200 on July 9, beating Mark Hunt by
unanimous decision in his first appearance in the octagon since
December, 2011.
The sample was analyzed at the World Anti-Doping
Agency-accredited laboratory at the University of California-Los
Angeles (UCLA).
