Performance enhancing drugs and pain killers are a major problem in mixed martial arts according to many fighters and others behind the scenes. Two weeks ago the Ultimate Fighting Championships announced that long time fighter Chris Leben had been suspended for one year following a failed drug test after UFC 138 in which he was defeated by Mark Munoz. Leben has had issues in the past with a suspension in 2008 after his failed drug test for stanozolol and this time for oxycodone and oxymorphone. He could have been using these to mask the eftects of injury or to take the grind of training and fighting. Will the UFC bring him back, only time will tell.
