Re: Rumor: Karo vs Kos at 98
Karo Parisyan has tested positive for multiple banned substances after his split-decision win over Dong Hyun Kim at UFC 94.
The UFC welterweight gave a sample that contained traces of Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone and Oxymorphone, all of which are prohibited.
Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opiate derivative that is used as a prescription painkiller under brand names such as Vicodin.
Hydromorphone, another powerful prescription painkiller, is derived from morphine and is approximately three times stronger than heroin when compared on a milligram for milligram basis.
Oxymorphone is similar to Hydromorphone but is regarded as more potentially addictive; it has a following among recreational drug users for the intense high it produces, although when used for genuine pain-relief it is not so habit-forming.
