Sanctions imposed on a UFC fighter in a controversial doping case have been reversed.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) lifted a three-month suspension on Cortney Casey on Friday, per a letter sent to Casey obtained by MMA Fighting. Casey’s victory against Jessica Aguilar at UFC 211 has also been given back to her after it was overturned to a no contest.

Casey’s drug test results from fight night May 13 came back with what the TDLR deemed as an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio. The test was considered a failure and the state issued the sanctions later that month.
