Forrest Griffin Fails Drug Test After Taking Xanax | UFC News

>Referring to his bout opposite Anderson  Silva in UFC 101, Forrest Griffin told MMA Hour.

“I failed my drug test I think for Xanax.  I had a doctor’s prescription, I was just, I didn’t do it before the fight, I did it the night before, I was nervous and I couldn’t sleep.”

 

Griffin makes no mention of a suspension period and was seen opposite Tito Ortiz at UFC 106, 3 months later.  Neither t he Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission nor the UFC did not release the failed urinalysis.

    • Mayor of Deviance says:

      … just stop.. You’re ignoring so much shit when you say that. The fact that he lied. The fact that it was not weeks in any plural sense. The fact that weed is not a sedative. The fact that he was a repeat offender. The fact that it was the NSAC not the UFC that had to do with his suspension. Just stop and quit bitching about Nick Diaz.

  10. Clay says:

    Maybe that’s why he lost like that
