Yoel Romero wins lawsuit against supplement company

[nuraknu]

In 2016, Yoel Romero’s suspension from USADA was shortened as it was determined that he ingested the banned substance from a tainted supplement. The UFC fighter followed up by suing the supplement company, claiming damage to his reputation and loss of a title fight opportunity, and that Goldstar Performance Products was aware that their supplements were tainted.

The case recently concluded, and on Tuesday, Romero’s team revealed that they have won the lawsuit and have been awarded $27.45 million in damages.

Spoiler: take this supplement companies

For me, Yoel is Top 5 best fighters to watch compete currently. Freak athlete, with a suspenseful fighting style and huge power/explosiveness.

Good point
a judgement and a payment are totally different things.

I always thought the top fighters should buy a small company thru a proxy/proxies and have them put out a few "accidentally tainted batches" and then have a fall guy/excuse for if they get caught cheating using their preferred PED.

In a sport full of drug cheats, it's really nice to see one of the all-natural good guys clear his name and get recognized for his services to clean sport

ttt for pouring ketchup on your cock and dancing in a sexual manner. for far too long, people on telly who dance in a sexual manner have done so without first pouring ketchup onto their genital area.

Next, Jon should sue his coke dealer.

So there are some people in here who actually believe this guy is 100% natural?

I think the answer to your question is "no"...

This is Yoel as a young man

This is him as a 42 year old man

It is not physically possible to look the same (really more shredded) naturally at those two points in your life unless he is a mutant like that kid who's genes blocked myostatin production...
