Adam Smith now has the dubious distinction of being the only
fighter in the history of the
California
state athletic commission to test positive for both performance enhancing drugs
and drugs of abuse at the same time. Smith Competed at the Strikeforce at the
Playboy
Mansion event and tested positive for cocaine as well as
Marijuana. Today it was learned through an email from the California State
Athletic Commission that he has tested positive for anabolic agents with
metabolites for both Nandrolone and Stanozolol.
Smith was originally suspended from September 29th
2007 until June 25, 2008 but that has now been extended to Sept 28, 2007 due to the positive test
for anabolic agents. He was fined $1,500.00 American dollars for his first
suspension but has now been levied an additional $2,500.00 dollar fine for a
total of $4,000.00.
Smith was not the only fighter suspended by the commission. Bill
Mahood was also suspended for testing positive for Drostanolone. He is
suspended until Sept 8th, 2008 and has also been fined $2,500.00
dollars.
