UFC's Anderson Silva suspended for one year following bizarre NAC hearing

UFC middleweight legend Anderson Silva was handed a year suspension in an NAC hearing that included a mysterious blue vile and many songs about sex.

After hours of testifying, UFC middleweight legend Anderson Silva has been suspended for one year by the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC). Silva tested positive for drostanolone metabolites and androsterone during a pre-fight test for UFC 183.

In a bizarre hearing today the former UFC Middleweight Champion pleaded the fifth through a translator when asked about a "blue vile" that contained a sexual performance supplement. The supplement is what Silva's defense claimed to have caused one of the positive tests.
