Yoel Romero filed a lawsuit in December against Goldstar Performance Products, the company he alleges to have produced the tainted supplement that led to his positive drug test in 2015.

Romero took the Goldstar nutritional supplement Shred Rx for training purposes after having “reaffirmed the product use with his colleagues, and read the label,” per the complaint.

On December 16, 2015, he provided an out-of-competition urine sample to USADA which ultimately tested positive. At the time, he had just moved up to the #2 contender position in the middleweight division after winning a controversial decisionover Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza four days prior at UFC 194.





According to the complaint, Romero gave USADA a pill from the bottle of Shred Rx he had been using at the time of the positive test, which was subsequently found to contain Ibutamoren at a concentration of “approximately 5 micrograms per capsule.” USADA then purchased a new, sealed bottle of Shred Rx and its representative capsules were found to contain “approximately 12 micrograms per capsule,” per the complaint.

This ultimately led to the USADA determination that Romero had used a contaminated substance and a reduced, six-month suspension.

If he wins this will open it up for anyone else who can prove that supplements (or dick pills) made them test positive.

York Romero is one thing, but when the greatest fighter ever to compete is sidelined not once but twice because of bullshit like this, these companies need to be held responsible.

For years I always wondered why nobody ever sued these companies. After all, their negligence can have a huge detrimental effect on an athlete's career. Good for Yoel.

If you are using a supplement that has a substance that gives you an edge, you cheated. They should be responsible for what does in their body.
