The Nevada State Athletic Commission today issued an “indefinite suspension” to Wanderlei Silva, as well as a fine of $70,000 due to the fighter allegedly dodging a pre-fight drug test.

“When you run from a test, that’s about the worst thing you can do,” NSAC chairman Francisco Aguilar said.

Ross Goodman, who represents the recently retired MMA legend, noted after the hearing that his client will likely appeal the ruling.
