Even though the <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/lombard-fined-70k-suspended-1-year-steroid-use\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NSAC already dealt Lombard a punishment<\/a>, UFC still swiftly removed him from the UFC rankings which, at the time, effected his ability to earn Reebok sponsorship money.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the Nevada State Athletic Commission will be suspending first time offenders for up to three years as well as penalizing them half of their purse. Three strikes will earn you a ban for life.<\/p>\n<p>Testing positive for weed will force a fighter to sit on the sidelines for eighteen months and up to 40% of their purse for a first time offense. If he\/she fails four times, they earn themselves a lifetime ban.<\/p>\n<p>Fighters who fail three times for diuretics and stimulants will also receive a lifetime ban, according to a document ESPN&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bokamotoESPN\/status\/599271288415195137\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brett Okamoto<\/a> obtained.<\/p>\n<p>Do you believe these punishments are fair?
