B.J. Penn will not being making his UFC return in early June after all. The former lightweight and welterweight champion was scheduled to fight Cole Miller at UFC 199 in the featured prelim bout, but has been taken off the card due to a USADA violation. Apparently Penn used an IV of over 50ml back in March. Here's the UFC's statement:

"The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) informed BJ Penn of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation. Penn disclosed the usage of a prohibited method - the use of an IV in excess of 50 ML in a six-hour period - during a March 25, 2016, out-of-competition sample collection. In accordance with the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, Penn has received a provisional suspension, and has been removed from his scheduled bout against Cole Miller on June 4 in Los Angeles.



"UFC will announce a replacement opponent for Miller shortly, and additional information will be provided by USADA and UFC at the appropriate time as the process involving Penn moves forward."

Penn (16-10-2) hadn't fought since a 2014 drubbing at the hands of Frankie Edgar in his featherweight debut. He was supposed to meet Dennis Siver at UFC 199, but a Siver injury led to him being replaced by Miller. Now Miller is the one looking for the new opponent after this odd circumstance.
