Mike King Fails UFC Fight Night 46 Drug Test – Loses $50,000 Bonus
Posted by Larry Csonka on 08.13.2014

Another drug test failure…

- The UFC announced today that Mike King failed his UFC Fight Night 46. Due to this, he will serve a 9-month suspension retroactive to the event, must pass a drug test before receiving clearance to compete again and will forfeit his $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus. Here is the official UFC announcement…

UFC middleweight Mike King tested positive for nandrolone following his bout against Cathal Pendred at UFC Fight Night Dublin: McGregor vs. Brandao on July 19, 2014. He was informed that his positive test violated the UFC Fighter Conduct Policy and Promotional Agreement with Zuffa, LLC. The UFC has a strict, consistent policy against the use of any illegal and/or performance-enhancing drugs, stimulants or masking agents by our athletes. He agreed to serve a 9-month suspension retroactive to the event and must pass a drug test before receiving clearance to compete again. He will forfeit his $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus.

His opponent, Cathal Pendred posted the following on Twitter…

P.E.D = Pendred Enjoying Dollars
So Cathal went from almost losing in his Octogan debut(and likely getting cut) to getting basically a six figure contract.

Honestly? Thats exactly what I think every time I read another one of these stories.

We always knew a bunch of fighters are juicing. No news means no busts means same old cheating bollocks. Every time there's another bust I feel warm and fuzzy inside. The more the merrier.
