USADA confirms Romero tested positive

[Wild]

UFC anti-doping partner USADA today confirmed Yoel Romero tested positive for a prohibited substance in the wake of the UFC middleweight’s admission to failing a test.

“Given that Mr. Romero has publicly discussed his case, we can confirm that he did test positive for a prohibited substance,” USADA rep Ryan Madden wrote in an email to MMAjunikie. “At this time we are investigating the circumstances surrounding his positive test to determine the appropriate outcome, in accordance with the rules.

“It is also important to remember that there is a full and fair legal process to handle the adjudication of any case, and all athletes are provided full due process before any decision is reached.”

I heard his supplements were tested and it's going to clear him?

Kawa said his team and USADA both sent out the supplement for testing and it came back that it contained a banned substance. That substance was not listed on the label, Kawa said. The manager said he did not want to reveal the name of the supplement or the substance, because USADA is currently investigating the issue.

Per USADA's rules, Kawa said Romero is facing a penalty as little as a public warning up to a two-year suspension.

Manager: Contaminated supplement led to Yoel Romero's failed drug test

Haven't seen anything official from the USADA on this though.

We are going to hear this excuse a lot.

The fact that he looks like he swallowed Vitor Belfort, doesn't help him a lot.

I made this point on the other thread, and I'll say it again: Malki Kawa.

 

[dacofty]

Contaminated Supplements lol It still is the responsibility of the fighter

 

[TheAwkwardTitan]

This is how shocked I am right now.

 

[Haulport]

He's just taking his vitamins and saying his prayers brotha!!!!!

 

[Wild]

I cant believe this guy pissed hot. I NEVER would have suspected him. If it were Tamden McCrory or George Roop, I could see it...but Romero?

 

[Super Dave]

One step closer to Jacare getting that loss turned to a NC. That fight didn't sit right with me.

 

[PeteyParker]

so he will be 40 when he returns??

He'll be sitting on his stool for quite some time if they are consistant.

Where are all the fuckers that were on his nuts, demanding he get the next title shot?

 

[Andrewsimar Palhardass]

He lost to Jacare in that disappointing fight anyway, and neither of them beat Weidman or Rockhold.

Also, I know Tim Kennedy gets a lot of shit but I hope he comes back or signs with Bellator or something. Hell of a fighter, and an admirable dude in my opinion.

Over here, bud, put up your dukes!!

I will not accept this, USADA.

Wow i didnt realize how long he was really sitting there. That is pretty sick they let that happen.

They both got the same amount of rest. Kennedy just likes to use that as an excuse.

He was going to get destroyed either way.

One of McCarthys biggest fuckups especially considering how important that fight was for both of them.
