In the wake of his positive steroid test, UFC middleweight Kevin Casey has apologized to the promotion and Nevada regulators for his actions. “I apologize to @UFC & the NSAC for my irresponsible action,” the 33-year-old fighter wrote today on Twitter . “I made a bad decision trying to cut weight. We are competing in a cleaner sport.” After knocking out Bubba Bush in 61 seconds at this month’s UFC 175, Casey (9-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) was flagged by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for the steroid drostanolone, which can help an athlete shed pounds in advance of a competition. The positive test was Casey’s first offense. He is expected to appear before the commission later this year and faces the overturning of his win, fines, and a formal suspension.
