While there is no way of exempting a fighter from suspension, the UFC could, in theory at least, waive the six months of testing that fighters must typically go through when they return following a retirement decision. Although that seems unlikely given the waves of criticism that the promotion experienced last summer, having exempted Lesnar only for him to test positive in more than one test.
UFC Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance Jeff Novitzky, who oversees the partnership between the UFC and USADA has claimed Lesnar has not begun the process of returning to the testing pool.
"(Lesnar) is not currently enrolled in the USADA testing pool, nor has there been any inquiry on his part to do so," Novitzky told MMA Junkie.
It would not exactly be surprising for the UFC to be open to the idea of another Lesnar return given the recent lack of legitimate superstars at their disposal - Conor McGregor will have spent more than a year out of the Octagon come November while Ronda Rousey seems to be done with the sport entirely.
The message here is - don't be shocked if the Lesnar re-enters the USADA testing pool for one last test of his fighting mettle but, for now, there seems to be nothing to the rumours.Quiz: Name every third place play-off winner in World Cup history
