Tito Ortiz Tested in Pre Fight Drug Test

Tito Ortiz has become the latest fighter to be tested by the Nevada State Athletic Commission in their attempt to wipe out illegal drug use in contact sports.

Ortiz, who is scheduled to fight Lyoto Machida later this month, was tested at his gym in Huntington Beach, California. The results came back negative. Other fighters tested include Sean Sherk and BJ Penn. Two boxers, Zab Judah and Shane Mosley have also been tested, showing the commissions dedication to irradicating drug use. All fighters have reportedly passed these tests, although the results from Sherks test are still pending (see here for details http://mmatrivia.blogspot.com/2008/05/update-sherk-not-yet-cleared-on-drug.html)
