Following his UFC Fight Night 14 bout against Anderson Silva on July 19, James Irvin tested positive for banned substances, the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed to MMAWeekly today.

Following the loss to Silva, Irvin submitted to a urinalysis, and the Urinalysis reflected the presence of Methadone and Oxymorphone.

Oxymorphone is a pain reliever prescribed to alleviate moderate to severe pain. Methadone is typically prescribed to recovering Heroin addicts.

None of the fighters who competed on the July 19 card were subject to NSAC's out-of-competition drug testing policy, which could have been due to the event being put together on short notice.

Eleven of the 22 fighters who competed on the card were tested at the event. Anderson Silva, James Irvin, Hermes Franca, Cain Velasquez, Brandon Vera, CB Dollaway, Tim Credeur, Frankie Edgar, Shannon Gugerty, and Nate Loughran were all tested for steroids, recreational drugs, and stimulants. Irvin is the only competitor who came back with a positive test result.

[PJ III]

i thought it was a given that he could take whatever he wanted for this fight since he was gonna lose anyways.

[strangelov]

I'm sure it was only something he ate.

[gumby]

I thought methadone was ONLY prescribed to heroin addicts. He is either using it illegally, or...

[Elk Penis]

He had a broken foot, and used it to relieve the pain. It's a moot point anyway. He could have been numb as shit, and still would have got KO'd.

There is a quality in a man that draws him to fighting that you just dont see everyday. These fighters are not saints, rarely are fighters anything resembling as such. Fighters live on the edge, to varying degree's ofcourse. Some social norms just dont apply to these types of individuals, they live in a world others cant understand and its these same circumstances that lend one the ability to step in a cage or ring with another highly skilled, crazy son of a bitch and fuck each other up as the crowd screams on.

That's not always true - look at Diego Sanchez. You can't get more normal than him.

Didnt Sanchez pop positive for smoking pot?


Sanchez wouldnt have been my pick for poster boy of normality. Rich Franklin would have been a much better choice.

I'da gone with Rampage.

[Flexwave2003]

So I cant believe the mods at SD allow a thread to be up for weeks now spreading a rumor that Rampage seriously hurt a pregnant woman, caused a miscarriage etc. When they wasteland threads pointing out Bas Rutten isnt such an MMA legend afterall.

Ive heard it all now, Rampage thinks hes god and is unable to even carry on a conversation with anyone. He has had a mental break down, and is ready for the psych ward etc etc.

Heres to hoping the guy pulls through this, I think we've all been there before. Okay, maybe not all of us but alot of us have seen some rainy days. And hopefully this shit passes for him and gets back to kicking peoples asses.

[kakashi]

what's methadone ?

Its what they give recovering heroin fiends. I guess its kind of an opiate itself.
