Tom Lawlor notified of flagged USADA test

November 3, 2016 by Jason Cruz 1 Comment

Tom Lawlor has been notified by USADA that an out-of-competition drug test has been flagged for potential banned substances.  The 33-year-old middleweight is 6-5 in the UFC.

The UFC has issued its standard statement:

The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Tom Lawlor of a potential Anti-Doping violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on October 10, 2016. USADA has provisionally suspended Lawlor based on the potential anti-doping violation.

Payout Perspective:

Lawlor is a podcast personality for The Wrestling Observer as well as a pro wrestling fan.  He may have some time on his hands if he is suspended by the UFC.  The 33-year-old could face a two year suspension which would put him in his mid-30s.

Sports prediction markets are sports betting disguised as financial trading. They flout state and tribal gambling laws, siphon state tax revenues, fuel addiction, and expose young Americans to public health risks while evading state consumer safeguards.
