Report: Anderson Silva failed SECOND drug test before UFC 183

The report in MMAJunkie casts even more doubt on the great Brazilian's reputation

Ever since the news broke that Anderson Silva was found to have two different steroids in his system following an out of competition test in the weeks leading up to UFC 183, the story has simply run and run. From denials by the man himself, to another out-of-competition test coming back clean this story shows no sign of going away, and it will certainly run until the hearing into the case by the NSAC on February 17. Today's twist is a report in MMAJunkie that Silva failed a second test in the lead up to UFC 183, an event where he beat Nick Diaz. They do not report the date of the second failed test, but we know that the one that landed him in trouble was on January 9 and the one that came back clean was January 19. The report says multiple sources, under condition of anonymity, confirmed to them the failed test. We expect to hear much more about this as the day goes on.
