Both Sean Sherk and Hermes Franca tested positive for drugs after their bout in the UFC 73.

While Royce Gracie chooses not to appeal after failing a previous drug test.

Gracie said that he would rather loose 2500 $US in fines and be suspended for a year (which is the standard Ruling in these cases) then pay 10000$ for lawyer fees.

I think that the problem of banning the usage of drugs in fights is that one day undetectable drugs will be available, and then it will all come down to a moral decision made by the contestant. In these kind of games the victor will then be the best cheater, as it's close to impossible to have a fair fight with the amount of drugs available.
