The WWE has always emphasized the importance of their wellness policy, their commitment to ensuring that superstars comply with the policy, and that action will be taken against those superstars who do decide to violate it. This was yet another rule which did not apply to Brock Lesnar.

Breaking Vince Russo and Jim Cornette update HERE.

After his UFC 200 win over Mark Hunt, Lesnar was flagged for a potential failed drug test in July 2016. A month later it was confirmed that Lesnar had in fact tested positive for a banned estrogen blocker in the build up to the Hunt fight.

As a result, the Nevada State Athletic Commission charged Lesnar with a $250,000 fine and a 12-month suspension, as well as converting his victory to a no contest.

The WWE should have also taken action against Lesnar, as this constituted a violation of their wellness policy. Instead, the WWE declared that Lesnar was exempt from section 17 of the company's abuse and drug testing regulations due to him being a part-timer.

As a result of this, Lesnar was yet again able to walk away from a policy violation without any damage.
