Dr. Marcio Tannure, medical director for Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA Medical Director (CABMMA), Brazil’s regulatory body for MMA, isn’t happy with Antonio Silva ‘s comments blaming him for failing a post-fight drug test at UFC Fight Night 33 . “To be clear, I am not, nor have I ever been, Antonio Silva’s medical doctor,” Tannure stated. “Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva has made some inaccurate statements in the media recently concerning the circumstances leading up to his positive test for an elevated testosterone ratio,” Tannure wrote in a statement emailed to MMAjunkie. “I am releasing this statement to clarify the facts related to my limited involvement leading up to his fight with Mark Hunt .” As a result of the failed test, Silva was suspended nine months , and his $50,000 bonus from the Brisbane, Australia fight was awarded to Hunt.
