Josh Barnett cleared after drug test failure…


Former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett has been cleared by USADA for failing a drug test. Barnett was facing a four-year ban from fighting after a violation of the anti-doping ban but instead received a “public reprimand” by USADA. Chael Sonnen gives his thoughts on this episode of Beyond the Fight.



“Given the source was established to be a contaminated supplement, along with the athlete’s care and diligence concerning the nutritional products consumed, the arbitrator determined that a public reprimand was appropriate,” a USADA press release stated.

  1. Man all the pride guys were juicing to the gills…. I’m not saying Josh is guilty… but it’s not his first time either. Still, hope he comes back as he’s a legit heavyweight

  2. So for the first time in his life he was actually innocent after all the other times he got caught.
