Silva tests positive for banned substance @ FightTicker

The California State Athletic Commission has issued Affliction fighter Edwin Dewees a one-year suspension and $2,500 fine for alleged use of Nandrolone, an anabolic steroid.

The CSAC today sent news of the punishment to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) via email.

Dewees failed a drug test administered by the CSAC during Affliction’s debut event on July 19. Dewees, a replacement for Vernon White, suffered a first-round TKO to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at the event.

Nandrolone can be found in small quantities in the human body — usually no more than 0.5 ng/ml. However, Dewees tested positive for 499 ng/mL, according to the CSAC’s Bill Douglas.

Independent tests were conducted by Quest Diagnostics for the “A” sample and by Laboratoire De Controle Du Dopage for the “B” sample.

Dewees was a late replacement for Vernon White, who was forced off the Affliction card after the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended him for failing a drug test of his own.

Dewees will have the opportunity to file an appeal with the commission.
