According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, the reason why Lesnar won't be suspended for the failed drug test is due to a clause in the Wellness Policy that only affects full-time wrestlers.
Observer thinks the Summerslam fight of Lesnar vs Orton likely is going to get called off because once the Nevada Commission issues a suspension, New York and any other state with a wrestling commission will not allow him to wrestle till the suspension is over. Could be up to 2 years since its his first offense.

Alvarez points out that Lesnar passed 5 of 6 tests in a 3 week span, and failed the 6th, so that's weird. Meltzer however mentions that this has happened before ...
Once Nevada starts a hearing, and if he's suspended by the commission, he will be suspended from any commission in any state that regulates prowrestling too, which means that he wouldn't even be able to fight in SummerSlam (NY) ...
There's precedent on suspending/firing people for failing outside drug tests (Billy Gunn)

Being speculated the WWE might have known about Lesnar's failure ahead of it being made public which could explain his sudden removal from next week's live Smackdown show.
