Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock fail drug tests for Bellator

In one of the Bellator MMA's biggest events to date, Kimbo Slice battled DADA 5000 and Ken Shamrock battled Royce Gracie. Today it was revealed that both Slice (real name Kevin Ferguson) and Ken Shamrock both failed their post-event drug tests:

Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock both failed drug tests at Bellator 149, MMA Fighting has learned.

Slice and Shamrock had banned substances in their system per the results of pre-fight drug tests. Bellator 149 took place Feb. 19 in Houston, Texas, multiple sources said.

Both men have been administratively suspended by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) pending an adjudication process, sources said. The official test result documents, showing the exact substances Slice and Shamrock tested positive for, have been withheld by the TDLR due to potential pending litigation. Athletes on the card had urine samples taken before their bouts.

Typically, the maximum discipline for combatants who fail drug tests in Texas is a 90-day suspension and $5,000 fine.

What a surprise.
