NSAC chairman slams Power Slap after six competitors test positive: ‘I didn’t know you needed to use steroids’

Dana White‘s Power Slap League is once again under scrutiny after six of its competitors tested positive for banned substances.

From the moment it was announced, the UFC president’s latest pet project has been belittled by fight fans, calling it nothing more than “sanctioned brain trauma.” With the first season of the controversial series concluding in March, the backlash finally began to die down. That was until the Nevada State Athletic Commission revealed that multiple Power Slap “athletes” have tested positive for an assortment of performance-enhancing drugs.

NSAC chairman Anthony Marnell responded to the lengthy list of suspended athletes under the Power Slap banner.
