Another UFC fighter has been suspended by the United States Anti-Doping Agency.<\/p>\n

According to a USADA press release, UFC middleweight Brad Scott has received a two-year suspension after failing his UFC Liverpool<\/a> drug test back in May.<\/p>\n

“USADA announced today that Bradley Scott, of Melksham Wiltshire, United Kingdom, has tested positive for a prohibited substance and accepted a two-year sanction for his violation under the UFC\u00ae Anti-Doping Program.<\/em><\/p>\n

Scott, 29, tested positive for benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, as the result of a urine sample he provided in-competition on May 27, 2018, at Fight Night 130 in Liverpool, United Kingdom. Cocaine is a non-Specified Substance in the class of Stimulants and prohibited in-competition under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, which has adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.<\/em><\/p>\n

USADA conducted a thorough investigation into Scott\u2019s case and determined Scott had not provided verifiable evidence regarding the circumstances that led to his positive test. Scott\u2019s two-year period of ineligibility, the standard sanction for a first offense involving a non-Specified Substance, began on July 3, 2018, the date his provisional suspension was imposed.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The 185-pound British fighter, Brad Scott, suffered a split-decision loss to Carlo Pedersoli Jr that night in Liverpool. The setback marked Scott’s second in a row, this after the “Bear” was TKO’d by Jack Hermansson in August of 2017.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old, Scott (11-6 MMA) has gone 3-5 during his eight-fight UFC career, scoring wins over Michael Kuiper, Dylan Andrews and Scott Askham in that time.<\/p>\n

The proud British fighter has yet to issue a statement on his newly announced suspension from USADA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the two-year suspension handed down on Brad Scott by the United States Anti-Doping Agency after he tested positive for cocaine metabolites?<\/p>\n

Is this fair punishment considering similar incidents<\/a> by other UFC fighters have produced much lighter penalties?<\/p>\n
