Official CSAC Press Release On Royce Gracie Drug Test

As a result of the various inquiries that we have received, the California State Athletic Commission contacted the laboratory that performed the testing on Mr. Royce Gracie's anabolic agent/masking agent sample and obtained detailed information regarding the test.

A normal person could have a level of 2 ng/mL of Nandrolone that the human body could potentially produce and an athlete that has just completed rigorous physical exercise could have a level of 6 ng/mL.

We received a written response from the laboratory's Director of Science and Technology confirming the positive “A” sample and positive “B” sample.

Both samples provided by Mr. Gracie had a level of over 50 ng/mL and we were informed that the level itself was so elevated that it would not register on the laboratory's calibrator.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Armando Garcia, Executive Officer.
