Here’s the latest on Brock Lesnar being flagged for a potential USADA violation stemming from his fight at UFC 200 back on July 9th. The news comes courtesy of Wrestling Observer Radio – visit f4wonline.com for subscription information.
– Whether or not Brock Lesnar wrestles Randy Orton at SummerSlam as scheduled will be almost entirely up to WWE. Depending on what substance Lesnar tested positive for, he could be facing up to a 2 year suspension from MMA in Nevada. This is unlikely to affect him appearing at SummerSlam because New York State does not license pro wrestlers individually, they license wrestling promoters. Since he’s not licensed as a pro wrestler, in theory he could still perform.
– The drug Lesnar was flagged for will be made public during his hearings in Nevada. There is a rumor going around that he got in trouble for using an inhaler, but that’s nothing more than speculation at this point.
– Lesnar passed the first 5 USADA tests and failed the sixth. Since that 6th test that turned up hot, he was tested two additional times and those results are still pending.
– Lesnar had been advertised for Tuesday’s WWE Draft edition of SmackDown, but has been pulled from that show. Dave Meltzer noted that him being pulled from the show is not related to the USADA news and is probably because WWE didn’t want to burn one of his dates by having him just stand on the stage as part of the Draft.
