Directly after Yoel Romero defeated Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza, he was number two in the UFC’s middleweight division and was ready for his title shot. All of the sudden, something happened that we all know too well about. Romero was hit with a violation from USADA. After a long period of ups-and-downs, it was found out and proven to be a tainted supplement. According to a report first released by Forbes<\/a>, Yoel Romero and his team are now suing the supplement company that caused his anti-doping violation, resulting in a suspension.<\/p>\n

“[Yoel] Romero, 38, tested positive for Ibutamoren following an out-of-competition test conducted on December 16, 2015 in Miami, Florida. Ibutamoren is a Growth Hormone Secretagogue and a prohibited substance in the class of Peptide Hormones, Growth Factors, Related Substances and Mimetics under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, which has adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.\u00a0Following notification of his positive test, Romero provided USADA with access to the dietary supplement products he was using at the time of the relevant sample collection.”<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m not sure where this Yoel supp thing is not clear. USADA INDEPENDENTLY TESTED A BOTTLE DIRECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER AMD IT WAS TAINTED!<\/p>\n
