Guido Cannetti wegens potentiële doping overtreding niet in actie volgende week

Eerder vandaag liet de UFC via een officieel statement weten dat Guido Cannetti verdacht wordt van het maken van een potentiële overtreding van de Anti-Doping wet.

De Argentijn Cannetti zou het opnemen tegen de Mexicaan Marco Beltran tijdens de TUF Latin America 3 Finale in Mexico City, Mexico aankomende zaterdag. De UFC is dringend op zoek naar een vervanger die het Bantamweight gevecht tegen Beltran op short notice wil aannemen.

Bekijk hieronder het officiële statement van de UFC.

The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Guido Cannetti of a potential Anti-Doping violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on October 5, 2016. USADA has provisionally suspended Cannetti based on the potential anti-doping violation.

Cannetti was scheduled to fight Marco Beltran next Saturday in Mexico City. The UFC is currently exploring whether a replacement to fight Beltran can be arranged.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case. It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full fair legal review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. Consistent with all previous potential anti-doping violations, additional information or UFC statements will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.
