Former Bellator title challenger Alejandra Lara has been suspended for nine months by the Nevada Athletic Commission after testing positive for benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine.<\/p>\n

The commission approved an adjudication agreement on Wednesday, Aug. 26, following a positive test connected to Lara\u2019s April 24 bout against Jaeleen Robledo at Tuff-N-Uff 153. Lara lost the fight by third-round guillotine submission.<\/p>\n

The banned stimulant is prohibited at all times in combat sports. The suspension, confirmed during a commission meeting on August 26, 2026, will last until January 24, 2027. Along with the suspension, Lara was fined $412.50 and ordered to pay $250.60 in prosecution fees. She will also be required to undergo additional drug testing if she seeks to be licensed to fight in Nevada again. Lara, a former prominent competitor in Bellator, has faced notable fighters such as Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, Juliana Velasquez, Kana Watanabe, and DeAnna Bennett before continuing her career on the regional fight circuit.<\/p>\n

The commission further required Lara to undergo additional drug testing if she seeks to obtain a Nevada fighting license again after serving the suspension.<\/p>\n
