Invicta fighter pops for diuretics, suspended by Nevada Athletic Commission
Invicta flyweight Andrea Lee was informed by NAC that she has been suspended for diuretic use.
It appears that Invicta flyweight Andrea Lee is facing a suspension from the Nevada Athletic Commission due to a positive test for diuretics. MMA Fighting confirmed with NAC head Bob Bennett that Lee has tested positive for "canrenone and/or spironolactone" after her Invicta 16 bout on March 11th.
Lee (4-2, 2-2 Invicta) was submitted by Sarah D'Alelio in the third round of their bout that night.
The suspension is temporary for now, but due to much harsher penalties for positive tests that were brought in recently, the 27-year-old fighter could be facing up to a two-year suspension from the sport.
