The failed drug test came at the Matteo Pellicone in Rome, Italy, on Jan. 18, according to the Arizona Republic. Valencia won a gold medal at the event competing at 86 kilograms.
According to the report, the drug Valencia tested positive for was a recreational drug, not a performance enhancing drug.
Valencia won NCAA titles the past two seasons at 174 pounds. He has compiled a 20-0 record this season and has been ranked No. 1 at 184 pounds all season.
