UFC Releases Statement on Nick Roehrick’s Potential USADA Violation

Nick Roehrick is facing a suspension from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

Roehrick is a light heavyweight on the UFC roster. He made his debut for the promotion back in July. He was finished by Jared Cannonier in the third round.

The UFC has released a statement revealing Roehrick’s possible violation of the USADA anti-doping policy:

“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Nick Roehrick of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on August 8, 2017.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Roehnick. 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.”
