Affliction's Justin Levens Tests Positive for Oxymorphone
 Date submitted: 30 July 2008
Author: MMAjunkie.com Staff
Veteran fighter Justin Levens, who was scheduled to fight Ray Lazama in an Affliction: Banned bout that was ultimately scrapped due to time constraints, tested positive for oxymorphone in a drug test administered at the July 19 event.
California State Athletic Commission Assistant Executive Officer Bill Douglas confirmed the news with MMAjunkie.com via email.
The news comes just hours after the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed that UFC: Ultimate Fight Night 14 headliner James Irvin had tested positive for the same painkiller.
According to Douglas, Levens registered a test level that was finalized at 10,141 ng/mL. The CSAC's cutoff for oxymorphone is 120 ng/mL.
His alleged use of the prescription drug, a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic often used for the relief of moderate to severe pain, has netted Levens a $1,000 fine and a six-month suspension that runs through Jan. 15, 2009.
He has the option to appeal.
California is one of the few states in which all competitors - rather than a random sampling - undergo drug tests.
Affliction: Banned took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. After a delayed start to the event, the Levens-Lazama swing bout was scrapped from the card. As MMAjunkie.com previously reported, both fighters were paid for the fight anyway. Levens received $6,000, according to official salary figures filed with the CSAC.
Levens - a former UFC, WEC and IFL fighter - was one of a few California fighters added to the Affliction card to draw local fans. He was looking to snap his current five-fight losing streak.
