The suspense regarding positive drug tests is over -- for Affliction, at least. The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has named the fighter on the Affliction "Banned" card who tested positive for drugs/steroids and it's not one of the big-name fighters.

According to the email sent by the CSAC to FightTicker.com:

Edwin Dewees, who last competed on the Roy Englebrecht Promotions event sponsored by Affliction on July 19 in Anaheim, has tested positive for Nandrolone. His test level was finalized at 499 ng/mL. Independent tests were conducted by Quest Diagnostics for the "A" Sample and Laboratoire De Controle Du Dopage for the "B" Sample. He has been suspended for one year retroactive to the conclusion of the bout and fined $2,500.

According to the email, the other remaining fighters on the card for whom results were still pending all tested negative:

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira - Clear
Tim Sylvia - Clear
Fedor Emelianenko - Clear

Here is some information about Nandrolone from Wikipedia.com:

Nandrolone is an anabolic steroid that may be present naturally in the human body, albeit in minute quantities of less than 0.4 ng/ml. Nandrolone is most commonly sold commercially as its decanoate ester (Deca-Durabolin) and less commonly as a phenylpropionate ester (Durabolin). Nandrolone decanoate is used in the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women (though now not recommended) at a dose of 50 mg every three weeks. It is also used for some aplastic anaemias.

Based on this information, Dewees had over 1200 times the naturally occuring amount of this compound in his body. He lost to Nogueira on the July 19 card by first-round TKO.
