Bill Douglas, Assistant Executive Officer to the California State Athletic Commission, informed MMAWeekly.com on Friday that the second sample of Josh Barnett’s pre-fight drug test has come back positive.

Barnett gave two samples of his urine on June 25 as part of the commission’s licensing process for a scheduled fight with Fedor Emelianenko at Affliction “Trilogy” on Aug. 1.

Last Wednesday, CSAC announced that Barnett’s first sample had come back positive for 2a-methyl-5a-androstan-3a-ol-17-one, a compound of synthetic steroid Drostanolone. The commission refused to license him for the fight, effectively canceling it.

Both samples were tested by CSAC’s new testing facility at the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) certified laboratory at UCLA.

In a press release issued Thursday night, Barnett’s manager, Shannon Hooper, claimed the commission had rebuffed several requests for the results of the second sample and vowed to challenge the results.

“Mr. Barnett vehemently denies intentionally ingesting any banned substances in preparation for the Aug. 1 fight and he is looking forward to presenting his case to the California State Athletic Commission,” wrote Hooper.

Douglas wrote he was unaware of any appeal activities being readied by Barnett or his representatives and the matter was not currently on the agenda at CSAC’s next meeting on Aug. 26 in Los Angeles.
