“The Motown Phenom” took to Instagram and claimed the drug test result was a result of his ADHD medication.

“It was never my intention to gain an athletic advantage,” Lee previously wrote about his suspension. “It was an attempt to conquer the severe anxiety I silently suffer from daily. I am actively cooperating with the Nevada Athletic Commission and expect to reach an agreement on a sanction. I will use this time to heal and come back stronger. Sorry for my lack of professionalism that leads to this disappointment, I’ll be back.”

Lee most recently lost a unanimous decision to Daniel Rodriguez at UFC Vegas 35 on Aug. 28. At his best, “The Motown Phenom” won five consecutive — including submission finishes of Michael Chiesa and Francisco Trinaldo — to earn an interim UFC Lightweight title fight against Tony Ferguson. More recently, however, Lee has lost four of his last five with two submission losses.
