NAC extends temporary suspensions for Elliott, Hill and Pena for marijuana; Barriault positive for ostarine

The Nevada State Athletic Commission voted unanimously on Wednesday to extended temporary suspensions for several UFC athletes following positive drug tests in recent fights.

Jamahal Hill, Tim Elliott and Luis Pena were all suspended after testing positive for marijuana, although the full disciplinary action won’t be decided until a later date.

Both Hill and Elliott tested positive for marijuana surrounding their fights at the UFC card held on May 30 in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Pena’s positive test surrounded his most recent fight on June 27 with an event also held at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
