The Ultimate Fighting Championship has suspended October main-event fighter Chris Leben for nine months, with the mixed martial arts organization's parent company announcing the fighter tested positive for the steroid stanozolol following his unanimous-decision loss to Michael Bisping Oct. 18 in Birmingham, England.
"I am obviously disappointed with Chris, who has made great strides getting his life back on track," UFC President Dana White said in a prepared statement, referring to Leben's past bouts with alcohol use. "To his credit, he has taken responsibility for his actions and is accepting the punishment that has been handed down. But as always, the UFC puts the safety of its athletes first and foremost, and we won't tolerate anyone using performance enhancing drugs in our organization."
