Renato Canuto suspended six months for failed drug test in MMA

Renato Canuto has been suspended for six months following a failed drug test conducted by the Nevada Athletic Commission. The commission found modafinil, a prohibited stimulant, in his system after his TKO victory over Dylan Aparis on March 13, which has now been changed to a no contest. Canuto, who has a 3-0 record, will be eligible to return on September 13 and faces fines totaling $1,030. Both fighters tested positive for banned substances, with Aparis receiving a nine-month suspension previously. Canuto had publicly disclosed his situation on Instagram before the commission's announcement, denying any intentional use of performance-enhancing drugs.
