Anderson Silva is fucked. It has been confirmed that the UFC legend has recently tested positive for multiple banned substances including a synthetic testosterone.

Being this is his second offense he's facing a potential 4 year ban. Under USADAS rules the fact that he tested positive for multiple banned substances though has him facing an additional 4 years due to the "Aggravated Circumstance Clause".

Silva has now failed 4 drug tests in the last 3 years. At 42 years of age an 8 year ban is tantamount to career ending.

It's unfortunate that such a legend will have is legacy tarnished by such poor decisions at the end of his once illustrious career. Best of luck to the Spider at sorting this out.
