UFC says Cortney Casey has been exonerated in doping case, but Texas sanctions remain

The UFC has received results that Cortney Casey was free of prohibited substances at UFC 211, MMA Fighting has learned. But sanctions levied by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) have yet to be lifted.

UFC vice president of athlete health and performance Jeff Novitzky said Thursday that the UFC and the TDLR got the results back from Casey’s ‘B’ sample this week. Those results, which have been obtained by MMA Fighting, came back negative for banned substances in isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) testing, done at the WADA-accredited SMRTL lab in Salt Lake City.
