Bruno Silva suspended two years by USADA after failed drug test

Brazilian middleweight Bruno Silva received a two-year suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) after testing positive for the steroid boldenone prior to a scheduled bout with Deron Winn at UFC Greenville in June 2019, his manager told MMA Fighting.

Bernardo Serale, Silva’s rep, said they believe in Silva’s innocence and will do everything in their power to prove it. He declined to go into further detail about the fighter’s defense strategy.

USADA hasn’t made any formal announcement regarding Silva’s case, and a request for comment was acknowledged but not responded to.
