The Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) might follow Nevada’s stricter protocol for failed drug tests.
Nevada Athletic Commission has approved on May 15 the creation of a severe standardized protocol for punishing drug users in combat sports, including lifetime suspensions for repeat offenders, starting on Sept. 1.
CABMMA, which usually follows NAC’s guidelines, is already studying the possibility of adopting the new punishment protocols in Brazil, discussing the changes with the Brazilian Agency of Doping Control (ABCD), WADA’s National Anti-Doping Organization in the country.
"We are want the best for the sport," CABMMA chairman Rafael Favetti told MMAFighting.
