Josh Barnett has been flagged for a potential USADA violation for an out of competition test from December 9, 2016.
The UFC issued its standard statement with respect to potential anti-doping violations.
Barnett’s last fight was on September 3, 2016, a win against Andrei Arlovski. He was not scheduled for an upcoming fight.
Payout Perspective:
Barnett has had a sordid past with drug test failures and this is the latest for the 39-year-old. We will see if Barnett has an excuse for the failure but with his history, it’s hard to think that this will end well.
He’s been failing ped tests since 2002. He should be banned.
He may just ask to be released like Cro Cop did and end up fighting for Rizin.
