USADA suspends Frank Mir for two years following failed drug test

It looks like there was more to Frank Mir's failed drug test than tainted kangaroo meat.

Mir, a former UFC heavyweight champion, failed an in-competition drug test at UFC Fight Night 85 and will serve a two-year suspension, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced on Friday.

Mir, who lost to the heavy-hitting Mark Hunt in UFC Fight Night 85's main event, tested positive for a long-term metabolite of dehydrochloromethyltestosterone (DHCMT), a prohibited substance which is classified as an anabolic agent.

USADA released the details of Mir's suspension yesterday:

“DHCMT is a non-Specified Substance in the class of Anabolic Agents and prohibited at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, which has adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.
