Cortney Casey’s Suspension After UFC 211 Officially Lifted, Her Win Restored

Bloody Elbow reports that the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as finally cleared Cortney Casey of all wrongdoing, lifted her suspension and restored her UFC 211 win against Jessica Aguilar. She was initially suspended after testing positive elevated levels of testosterone during in-competition testing.

A letter sent to Casey read: “After reexamination of the documents in our possession and careful examination of the Sample B results, your 90-day suspension is lifted effective June 29, 2017, the enforcement case dropped with no further action taken, and the bout “win” reinstated on your record.”

The TDLR hasn’t apologized for the mistake but TDLR Executive Director Brian E. Francis did apologize “for the delay in my decision.” The TDLR suspended her the same day they looked at the A sample results. Over a week after getting her B sample results, they’ve now made the decision to clear her. Earlier this week, the UFC tried to force the issue as she had already been cleared by a World Anti-Doping Agency-accredited laboratory and a TDLR-hired lab.
