Multiple MMA Fighters Suspended for Drug, Betting Violations

Douglas Silva de Andrade has been suspended for six months after testing positive for the banned diuretic furosemide, with the cause attributed to a contaminated supplement, though UFC policy still holds him responsible. Former UFC title challenger Taila Santos also received a six-month suspension from USADA after testing positive for oxandrolone and clenbuterol, resulting in her withdrawal from the 2025 PFL World Tournament. UFC contender Jeff Molina was handed a three-year suspension for betting on a fight involving an injured teammate and failing to disclose the injury. These cases highlight ongoing strict enforcement of anti-doping and gambling regulations in MMA. Additionally, Anthony Smith and several other fighters received medical suspensions following injuries at recent UFC events, with Smith sidelined for three months and others facing varying suspension lengths. The incidents underscore the multifaceted disciplinary landscape currently shaping MMA careers.
