How many UFC champions have been caught with peds at some point?

[motoxx987]

I was wondering how many UFC champions have been confirmed caught with peds at some point in their career? Please no speculation

Also, what is that percentage does this come out to for people who have been on peds vs aren't or haven't been caught..

 

[mrsinister]

Well, the first champ ever got caught.

 

[tenniswhiz]

None of the current champs have been caught.

Past champs who have been busted include:
Sherk, Vitor, and Barnett
Is there anyone else, among champs?

Not in the UFC. He was caught in K1 Dynamite. He denied it, though he was positive for Nandrolone.

 

[KlNG]

Years later but yeah...Royce

EDIT:Can't find his ratio anywhere..

[waldywaldy]

Ken Shamrock if you count the UFC superfight championship

Forrest and Rutten if you count non performance enhancing drug-busts

Randleman got busted for turning in non-human urine

Nice, why do I always seem to forget him?

Wasn't Sherk Innocent of not using Peds?

 

[motoxx987]

So far we have

Sherk
Barnett
Belfort
Griffin
Royce gracie
Mir (is or has been on TRT)
Randleman
Rutten
D. Henderson. (Current trt)
Tim Sylvia

Is this all of the champions who have been caught/suspended for a substance/ped? If so how many total champions across all weight classes are there?

 

[Julian Lame]

Ken Shamrock if you count the UFC superfight championship

Forrest and Rutten if you count non performance enhancing drug-busts

Randleman got busted for turning in non-human urine

Randleman too? I thought it was just Thiago Silva who used like horse or donkey piss.

Why the need for speculation when the list is already being kept updated regularly by BCaesar in the Worldwide MMA section?

Nah. That was his soul leaving his body after the Couture fight.

The OP didn't say in the UFC:

"How many UFC champions have been caught with peds at some point?"

Barnette, Sherk, Vitor, Royce Gracie, Didn't Tim Sylvia test positive?

Wait....what?

 

[Bigj383]

Wait....what?

Both Mir and Henderson have a TUE just like Couture and Hughes towards the end of their careers. That is not being busted for Peds. It also if the question is caught while champion or just some point in their career. Barnett, Sylvia, and Sherk all tested + while champion. Others tested + after or before they became chsmpions.

Griffin was busted for xanax (anti-anxiety meds)*, not PEDs and it was after the Silva fight. Allegedly he was depressed and going through some stuff and the time off (due to the suspension) kind of led him to his eventual retirement.
