WWE News: Brock Lesnar Facing Possible Huge Fine For Potential Doping Violation

Brock Lesnar made his UFC return at UFC 200 and won in dominating fashion. Mark Hunt was a formidable opponent, but the Beast Incarnate wanted to prove to the world that he is still one of the very best in the world.

Due to diverticulitis, Brock Lesnar couldn’t compete in the UFC several years ago. Now, with his win against Hunt, his UFC future is unknown. However, one event took place that may have Lesnar waiting for another UFC fight for even longer.

Right before UFC 200, Jon Jones was hit with an anti-doping violation and couldn’t fight at the pay-per-view. Jones was on his way back from several mishaps, but it just wasn’t meant to be. When Brock Lesnar took the fight against Hunt, it brought life to UFC 200. The fight came and went, but several days after it was over, the UFC was notified of a startling truth.

Brock Lesnar was notified of a possible anti-doping violation for his fight at UFC 200.

“The United States Anti-Doping Agency has informed Brock Lesnar of a potential doping violation stemming from an out-of-competition drug test administered June 28.

“In a statement, the UFC said it was not informed of the potential violation until Thursday, which explains why Lesnar was able to compete on the UFC 200 card.”

Needless to say, the WWE Universe exploded with sarcastic comments and worries about Lesnar’s availability for SummerSlam in August. During the Lesnar hype train leading up to UFC 200, the WWE announced Brock Lesnar’s SummerSlam opponent, who turned out to be Randy Orton. It was bad timing after Roman Reigns’ suspension was announced. Two of their biggest stars were on the verge of giving the WWE bad publicity.

When the WWE was forced to respond to the allegations, they simply said that Brock Lesnar would not be appearing on WWE programming until SummerSlam in late August. While that isn’t a hindrance to the Beast Incarnate, what could happen as a result of the possible anti-doping violation may be. According to F4WOnline.com and WrestleZone.com, Brock Lesnar may face a heavy fine if the violation comes back official.

“The Nevada State Athletic Commission could fine Brock Lesnar anywhere from $1.25 million to $1.875 million if he did indeed violate USADA’s anti-doping policy.

“If Lesnar is fined, the amount of money could vary depending on the substance for which he tested positive. According to NSAC guidelines, athletes may be fined 50 to 75 percent of their purse if they fail a drug test for anabolic steroids, and the fine could be lower if the NSAC believes Lesnar inadvertently took a tainted supplement.”

To put it simply, money isn’t a worry for Brock Lesnar. It’s the stigma of being a “cheater” when working as a professional fighter. A guy like Jones will be remembered as one of the best fighters who ever lived. However, he has dealt with his demons and even suffered the consequences on occasion. Jones will have to live with that too.

Lesnar has never been in trouble with steroids or performing enhancing drugs. As he put it, he’s a “jacked white boy.” What does that say about the kind of man Brock Lesnar is? He’s always grown up on a farm and wrestled collegiately for Minnesota. He became an NCAA Heavyweight champion. Being big was never an issue for the former WWE champion.

There’s a rumor that Brock Lesnar’s use of an asthma inhaler was the reason for his anti-doping violation. Whether that’s true or not has yet to be confirmed. If it’s just that, Lesnar’s reputation will remain unscathed. Even if it’s for marijuana, people won’t care as much as steroids or performing-enhancing drugs. If it wasn’t a huge WWE star, then this wouldn’t even be a discussion. Since it is Brock Lesnar, it automatically becomes a huge discussion.
