UFC Lightweight suspended 17 months for USADA violation
Being honest, while admirable, doesn’t get an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter a lighter sentence when it comes to United States Anti Doping (USADA) agency … just ask Lyoto Machida.
Five-fight UFC 155-pound veteran, Carlos Diego Ferreira, recently admitted to USADA that he used a prohibited substance while being tested. Once the results came in, it was found that Ferreira was telling the truth, but he also tested positive for a second banned substance.
“Ferreira, 31, tested positive for Ostarine as a result of an out-of-competition drug test conducted on April 29, 2016. During the sample collection process, Ferreira declared the use of a product on his sample paperwork that listed the prohibited substance 7-keto-DHEA (7‐keto-dehydroepiandrosterone) as an ingredient. Ferreira’s sample was subsequently reported as adverse for the presence of Ostarine, a prohibited Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM), along with a laboratory finding that was consistent with Ferreira’s declared use of a product containing 7-keto-DHEA. Both Ostarine and 7-keto-DHEA are prohibited substances in the class of Anabolic Agents and prohibited at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, which has adopted the WADA Prohibited List. Testing conclusively confirmed that although the supplement only listed one prohibited substance as an ingredient (7-keto-DHEA), it actually contained 7-keto-DHEA and a second undeclared prohibited substance (Ostarine) as well.”
As a result, Ferreira accepted a 17-month suspension for the failed drug test administered on April 29, 2017. Ferreira was last seen defeating Olivier Aubin-Mercier at UFC on FOX 18 this past January via unanimous decision. He was scheduled to face Abel Trujillo this past May before his USADA violation was revealed.
Ferreira will be able to return to the Octagon in Sept. 2017.
