7 Major Questions Surrounding Brock Lesnar’s Potential USADA Violation

7. What Did He Get Caught For?

The short answer here is that right now; we just don’t know.

USADA policy prevents them from actually releasing information on the substance “until the athlete either goes public or the adjudication process afforded to the fighter is finalized”.

What we do know, however, is that a substance qualifies for the USADA prohibited list if it meets any two of the following criteria; it has the potential to enhance or enhances sport performance, it represents an actual or potential health risk to the athlete, or it violates the spirit of sport. Then again, that doesn’t really narrow things down too much…

Naturally, rumours are beginning to surface as to what might have caused the potential violation; one story citing a pesky asthma inhaler as a possible culprit.

But who knows if that will prove to be the case. At the moment it’s all just speculation and suppositions. For a more concrete answer, we’ll have to wait until that adjudication process is completed.
