Anderson Silva tests positive for anabolic steroid metabolites in Jan. 9 drug test

Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva tested positive for Drostanolone metabolites in an Jan. 9 out-of-competition drug test ahead of his UFC 183 comeback fight against Nick Diaz, the UFC announced Tuesday.

Drostanolone is a common form of anabolic steroid.

The UFC released the following statement regarding Silva's failed test:

"On February 3, 2015, the UFC organization was notified by the Nevada State Athletic Commission that Anderson Silva tested positive for Drostanolone metabolites on his Jan. 9 out of competition drug test. UFC's understanding is that further testing will be conducted by the Commission to confirm these preliminary results.

"Anderson Silva has been an amazing champion and a true ambassador of the sport of mixed martial arts and the UFC, in Brazil as well as around the world. UFC is disappointed to learn of these initial results.

"The UFC has a strict, consistent policy against the use of any illegal and/or performance enhancing drugs, stimulants or masking agents by its athletes."

Silva, 39, defeated Diaz via unanimous decision on Jan. 31 in the main event of UFC 183. The fight was Silva's first since Dec. 2013, when Silva suffered a grisly -- and what at the time looked to be career-ending -- broken leg midway through the second round of his UFC 168 rematch against Chris Weidman.

A record-shattering UFC champion, Silva (34-6) is widely considered to be one of, if not the single greatest mixed martial artist of all-time, having won his first 16 fights inside the UFC in dramatic and often dazzling fashion.

MMA Fighting will continue to update this story as information becomes available.

lol this just proves how much of a beast Nick Diaz is, Anderson Silva the guy who spent a decade steamrolling people could barely scrape by Nick even roided out.

Or it could be that Silva is also clearly past his best days and almost 40, and of course coming off a gruesome injury.

He looked extremely sharp for someone "past his days" and had no issue throwing that gruesomely injured leg with some leg kicks. But lets not give Diaz any props for going toe to toe with the GOAT who was also roided out, clearly it couldn't have been Diaz' skill and toughness, had to be Silva is "old and scared from his injury" lol

Anderson Silva was trying to hit that fountain of youth! Anderson has nothing to prove tho, he's had his time in the sun, blasted thru everybody up until Chris. Time to move on with his life, coming up on 40 coming bacc from a gruesome injury and now this? Time to spend the rest of your days with ur family, you've made more than enough money in this sport. I guess now they're saying they found 2 banned substances in his system.
