Brock Lesnar Won’t Be Facing Any Punishment From WWE For Failing UFC Drug Tests

It looks like Brock Lesnar won’t be facing a punishment from WWE for his two positive drug tests stemming from his UFC 200 fight against Mark Hunt.

Apparently because he is not a full-time performer, and due to the fact that pro wrestling is considered a form of entertainment as opposed to a sports event, the issue doesn’t seem to be one that will affect “The Beast Incarnate’s” part-time day job.

Below is an excerpt from an article posted by TMZ:

“Brock Lesnar will NOT be disciplined by the WWE for his UFC 200 drug test failures … and WILL perform at SummerSlam as planned … TMZ Sports has learned.

A WWE spokesperson tells us … only full-time WWE performers are subject to the organization’s wellness policy, which prohibits PEDs … but since Brock isn’t a full-time performer, he’s essentially exempt.

“WWE’s talent wellness program does not apply to part-time performers such as Brock Lesnar,” the spokesperson said.
