Quote:
evada Athletic Commission voted unanimously to suspend former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva for one year as punishment for a pair of failed drug tests in relation to his Jan. 31 bout at UFC 183. Silva was also fined his full $200,000 win bonus, as well as 30-percent of his $600,000 show money, and his victory over Nick Diaz was overturned into a no contest.
The NAC handed down the sentencing at a hearing Thursday in Las Vegas. Silva's suspension is retroactive to Jan. 31, meaning he'll be permitted to return to professional fighting on Jan. 31, 2016 as long as he provides a clean drug test. Silva is also required to reimburse the NAC's attorney and testing fees.
