Antonio Silva Fined For Steroid use

Elite XC's heavyweight champion Antonio Silva has tested positive for banned substance Boldenone, a stroid designed for use in animals.

Silva has been fined $2,500 and suspended for a year. He has already denied the use of this or any other substance, and will appeal the decision.

Elite XC have stated that they support their fighter and will wait until the appeal hearing to decide if they should strip Silva of his belt.
