It takes about 3 months for the violation and punishment to be "final." The fighter gets to claim a defense and appeal, but can't fight in the meantime.
First-offense is a two years suspension unless you can prove that you took a tainted supplement which contained a banned substance that wasn't on the ingredient list. For that they've bumped guys down to 6 months. (Even though I think some supplements are known for being shady, so it can be a subtle way of cheating if you know which ones have non-label substances).
