MMA Weekly is reporting that the CSAC is not done gathering results from the drug tests from the recent EliteXC and Affliction cards and that it appears that more positive drug tests are on the way from fighters involved with the two shows:

The initial test results for the remaining fighters on each show, however, indicate that there are more positive results forthcoming. CSAC Assistant Executive Officer Bill Douglas told MMAWeekly.com that, “Both cards are not out of the woods yet.”

He would not identify any of the individuals involved, nor would he indicate how many individuals were involved, but did indicate that initial testing of the remaining fighters’ “A” samples returned more positive results.

Douglas said that the earliest that confirmed results will be released is August 11.
Of the results that have come back for the Affliction card so far, only Justin Levens has tested positive. He tested positive for oxymorphone, the same painkiller that James Irvin tested positive for following UFN 14. The other fighters whose drug screens have come back clean from Affliction are as follows: Vitor Belfort, Terry Martin, Paul Buentello, Mike Pyle, JJ Ambrose, Gary Goodridge, and Ray Lazama. Eight fighters from EliteXC have also had negative drug screens come back: Brandon Tarn, Drew Montgomery, Mike Cook, Carl Seumanutafa, Marlon Matias, David Douglas, Jeremy Freitag, and Anthony Ruiz.

As you can see, there are lots of big names left out there whose drug screens could come back positive. Every person listed above whose drug screen has already come back was on the undercard of each of these shows. It will be very interesting to see the fallout from the positive drug screens, especially if the names are bigger than we think.

Wow, quite a teaser. I'll be surprised, but not astounded, if some of the big names test positive.

"There are a lot of names that could come back positive" is that a quote from somebody?

Assumption is one thing, facts is another!!

I can't tell if your joking or being serious.

I will assume joking because it says Vitor's came back clean.

Well that sucks, no matter who it is that's bad news.... Unless it's like , Eilers and Fabio, then who gives a shit.

[Intellectual]

this is BS. these results are done and announced. whats with all the lags?

[ChrisAM]

Journalism at it's best.
One random ass fighter tested positive, will all the other fighters also test posistive? Maybe they all shot up backstage just for kicks, it being Affliction's debut event and all. And Nate Diaz was dealing backstage at EliteXC to make some extra money on the side cause UFC aint paying that well.
