The Nevada State Athletic Commission today suspended UFC bantamweight Brian Bowles for nine months and fined him 30 percent of his UFC 160 purse for an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone (T/E) ratio. Bowles, who lost to George Roop via second-round TKO, is suspended retroactively to the event and forfeits $5,700 of his $19,000 purse to the commission. Unexpectedly, Bowles was present at the hearing and said he had no idea why he failed his test, according to ESPN reporter Brett Okamoto , who attended Bowles’ hearing today in Las Vegas. As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) previously reported, the NSAC expected to proceed with its disciplinary complaint without Bowles in attendance , as the fighter hadn’t responded to a written notification of his drug test failure and a temporary suspension.
