As reported by mmaweekly.com

"Today, the CSAC released further test results revealing that Royce Gracie has tested positive for the anabolic steroid Nandrolone Metabolite. Gracie defeated Kazushi Sakuraba by unanimous decision at the K-1 Dynamite show on June 2nd in Los Angeles, California."

I think this is really sad news, as one of the pioneers of the sport, he held the torch for the skilled smaller guys of the mma world. Anyone who watched his defeat at the hands of Matt Hughes at UFC 60 could see he doesn't take defeat very well, but i guess getting older and losing fights coupled with a strong desire to keep winning hasn't done him any favours
