UFC veteran Alistair Overeem tests positive for banned substance after kickboxing win over Badr Hari

Alistair Overeem has tested positive for an undisclosed banned substance following his kickboxing win over Badr Hari at Glory: Collision 4, a heavyweight matchup that took place at GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands, this past October.

Overeem is currently awaiting the results of a “B” sample after his “A” sample from the night of his win over Hari returned positive for a banned substance. ‘The Reem’s’ team claims the substance he tested positive for “is not a performance-enhancing substance,” per Dutch news outlet De Telegraaf.

Overeem beat kickboxing legend Hari via unanimous decision (29-26, 28-27, 28-27, 28-27, 28-27).
