Thiago Alves Positive for Spironolactone

MMAWeekly is reporting that Thiago Alves has tested positive for Spironolactone, a prescribed diuretic that causes the kidneys to remove excess water and sodium from the body. It’s typically used to quickly lose weight, however in doing so it leaves the body dehydrated.

Alves came off a victory at UFC 66 defeating Tony DeSouza. No word from the Nevada State Athletic Commission on any fines or suspensions.
