The former UFC heavyweight is presently caught in limbo after testing positive in an in-competition drug test conducted by USADA in March. On Friday, Mir revealed that the results of his ‘B' sample were tested as well, and they too came back positive.
"I went through the process just to see if maybe something happened with testing procedure," Mir said on his Phone Booth Fighting podcast. "But they re-tested the ‘B' sample and it came back with the same results, as far as having trace metabolites."
Mir, 36, tested positive for oral turinabol metabolites in an USADA drug test stemming from Mir's fight on March 19 against Mark Hunt at UFC Fight Night 85 in Brisbane, Australia, which Mir lost via first-round knockout.
