My question is ,,,a suspension for the positive test will result in a suspension but at best 90 days so why couldnt they fight in the summer.If the suspension is longer i would be surprised being that steriod testing that comes up positive has put fighters on suspension for less time.

No way to book a fight while a fighter is under suspension, if he is suspended his license is not in effect. Also, the legth of suspension is unkown at this point, especially considering it is a second time.

I think is bs, because Chael Sonan tested positive for steroids or what they call it "higher than normal hormones", how is weed so bad and controversial as compared to steroids, I don't get it?!?!?!?!
