Fighting machine Brock Lesnar is in hot water again after his controversial return to the wrestling ring.

This year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view ended with Lesnar busting Randy Orton’s head open seemingly just because he could.
Former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has been issued a temporary suspension following a failed drugs test from UFC 200, thus marking the initial proceedings of the adjudication process.
Lesnar failed an out-of-competition test conducted by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, the UFC’s anti-doping partner, in connection with UFC 200, which took place July 9 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Lesnar, however, flagged by USADA after his fight with Mark Hunt, wherein he won via unanimous decision.
Both Jones and Lesnar were flagged for Hydroxy-clomiphene, which is an estrogen blocker. WWE.com reported that Orton needed 10 staples to close the gash.
USADA has yet to announce what kind of sanction it will impose on Jones and Lesnar.
Citing USADA’s Anti-Doping policy, Helwani claims the duo could be handed 12 months bans as the drugs they tested positive for are “considered ‘specified substances” under the World Anti-Doping Agency Code’. I am going to get through this alright. “There will be a day maybe that they might see me back in the octagon”, said Lesnar. “This has been a bumpy road”.

Lesnar will receive a full hearing with the Nevada Athletic Commission at an unspecified date. If he is suspended two years by USADA, it will most likely end his UFC career.
