Kevin Lee gets six-month suspension and $16K fine for failed drug test

UFC welterweight Kevin Lee isn’t seeing any action for quite awhile. Per MMA Fighting, the Nevada Athletic Commission handed a six-month suspension on “The Motown Phenom” for testing positive for Adderall.

At the time, Nevada had only issued a “temporary suspension” with no specific length of time. But on Wednesday, the NAC unanimously voted on the six-month ban, which means Lee will be out of commission until February 28, 2022.

Along with the suspension, the 29-year-old fighter will also have to pay a $16,500 fine, as well as $326 for administration fees. Lee must first settle the fines in full and submit a clean drug test before he’ll be eligible to apply for a new license in Nevada.
