The NAC unanimously approved the final amendments, with NAC chairman Francisco Aguilar crediting his fellow commissioners for their efforts.

    While an exact timetable for the enacting of the commission's new drug standards was left undecided, a tentative date was slated for Sept. 1, meaning that any fighter who fails a drug test in Nevada from that point on would be reprimanded under the increased measures. The possibility to extend that date out to Oct. 1 was also discussed, although a final decision is expected to be made in the upcoming months.

    The new rules also dictate that a fighter who wins a bout but fails a drug test will have their record amended to reflect a ‘loss.' In such circumstances, the losing non-cheating fighter would still receive a ‘no contest.'

18 months is a lot for getting caught with weed in your system. :francis: Other than that, I agree with the policy, although they are harsh as fukk. :wow:
