Positive Pride doping tests

Pride mixed martial arts fighters Vitor Belfort and Pawel Nastula have been suspended for nine months by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for positive drug tests.

Belfort was also fined US$10,000 while Nastula was fined $6,500, commission executive director Keith Kizer said Thursday. Belfort tested positive for 4-Hydroxytestosterone while Nastula's test showed for Nandrolone, pseudoephedrine, ephedrine and phenylpropanolamine.

Both fighters were tested after Japanese-based Pride's debut show in the U.S., held Oct. 21 in Las Vegas.
