The Nevada State Athletic Commission has found that lightweight Kit Cope (Pictures) tested positive for the banned anabolic steroid Boldenone following his stoppage loss to Rob McCullough (Pictures) on Jan. 20, the Wrestling Observer reported Thursday.
Cope and McCullough headlined the first Zuffa-promoted World Extreme Cagefighting card at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. A respected Thai boxer, the 29-year-old Cope's transition to mixed martial arts has been a difficult one, taking just one victory in five fights.
Boldenone, popularly known as Equipose, is an anabolic steroid developed for veterinary use, particularly in the treatment of horses.
