Anderson Silva's Jan. 19 out-of-competition drug tests come back clean of PEDs

Anderson Silva's second out-of-competition drug test has come back clean.

Silva didn't have any banned substances in his system in tests taken Jan. 19. MMAFighting.com obtained the records from the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) on Monday. The UFC 183 headliner passed an HGH kit and a regular examination on that date.

Silva did test positive for anabolic steroid metabolites in a drug screening on or around Jan. 9. That news was broken by Yahoo! last week. The former UFC middleweight champion was found to have drostanolone and androstane in his system. Both substances are banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code followed by the commission. He is temporarily suspended and facing discipline from the NAC at a hearing in either March or April.

Bob Bennett, the NAC executive director, said he did not know if the latest test findings would affect any penalties given to Silva by the commission.

"I can't speak for the chairman or be presumptuous in any way or comment on that," Bennett told MMAFighting.com. "It's not my position."

Bennett did say it was good news for Silva, the UFC and the sport.

"We're happy to get these results," he said.

Dr. Ali Mohamadi, an endocrinologist, told MMAFighting.com last week that drostanolone can be detected in the system as long as two months after being taken.

And so the plot thickens

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to not pay a guy if they're contractually obligated. He won't receive his win bonus but PPV buy money is in his contract.

They look like regular fitness chicks you wouldn't think by looking at them that they'd tie you into a pretzel and just leave you there
