Brock Lesnar Gets Giant Fine, Suspension For Failed Drug Tests

Brock Lesnar just got leveled with a giant fine by the Nevada Athletic Commission.

The former WWE, UFC, NCAA, and IWGP Champion was fined $250,000 to the Nevada attorney general's office, per a settlement as part of a suspension from the NAC. Lesnar's UFC 200 win over Mark Hunt is now a no-contest.

Lesnar tested positive for the estrogen blocker Hydrox-clomiphene in two drug tests in relation to the July 9 event -- one out-of-competition, and one on fight night. Lesnar would earn a unanimous decision win, and has subsequently been fined ten percent of his $2.5 million purse. His UFC 200 opponent Mark Hunt has been rather outspoken in regards to the drug test failure, demanding a percentage of Lesnar's purse and/or fine.

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones received a similar suspension for testing positive for clomiphene.
