WEC's Alexandre Nogueira Failed Drug Test
 Date submitted: 09 July 2008
Author: MMAjunkie.com Staff
The California State Athletic Commission has suspended World Extreme Cagefighting featherweight Alexandre Franca Nogueira one year and has fined him $2,500 for failing a drug test at a June 1 WEC show.
Nogueira tested positive for Boldenone, according to an email CSAC Assistant Executive Officer Bill Douglas today sent to MMAjunkie.com. Boldenone is an anabolic steroid developed for veterinary use, though a growing number of MMA fighters and other athletes have tested positive for the drug.
The June 1 WEC show, which was one of the organization's most successful events to date, took place at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif. Nogueira suffered a second-round TKO loss to Jose Aldo Jr on the night's preliminary card.
Nogueira is now suspended through May 31, 2009, though he'll have the opportunity for an appeal. According to Douglas, Nogueira's "A" sample was tested at Quest Diagnostics and his "B" sample was tested at Laboratoire de controle du dopage, a WADA certified test facility located in Laval, Quebec, Canada.
Nogueira, a former Shooto lightweight champion, has lost three of his past four fights. In a recent interview with MMAjunkie.com, WEC featherweight contender Jens Pulver said he had hoped to fight Nogueira in the fall.
