NSAC Suspends Four Fighters For Positive Drug Tests

We all heard of four UFC fighters failing drug tests this past June. We were given their names, Jamahal Hill, Luis Pena, Tim Elliott, and Deron Winn, but their suspensions had yet to be determined. ESPN broke the news earlier today. Marc Andre-Barriault was also flagged, but was not sentenced due to cooperating with USADA […]

Marc Andre-Barriault was also flagged, but was not sentenced due to cooperating with USADA to prove it to be a tainted supplement. Hill, Pena, and Elliott all tested positive for marijuana, while Winn tested positive for amphetamines.

Hill’s first-round TKO victory over Klidson Abreu was overturned to a no contest, he was suspended six months, and fined 15% of his purse.

Both Elliott and Pena were suspended four-and-a-half months and suspended 15% of their purse. They each lost their respective fights, Elliott lost to Brandon Royval via submission (arm-triangle choke), Pena lost to Khama Worthy via submission (guillotine choke), so neither of their records change.

Lastly, Winn was suspended for nine months and fined $1,800 for his drug test failure at UFC 248. Winn lost to Gerald Meerschaert via submission (rear naked choke), so his record remains the same as well.

The most surprising name on this list has got to be Deron Winn, and because of what he tested positive for. It’s hard to imagine him doing something like that, he’s a lifelong athlete, he trains at AKA, it’s a wonder.

Winn did miss weight for his fight prior, and amphetamines certainly do aid in weight loss. Or maybe he just had a little cold and took some cough medicine, which will make you pop for that.

The dates of the tests is the starting date of their sentence. So basically, whenever their fight was, add their sentence to that and that’s how long they can’t fight for. Elliott and Hill both fought on May 30, Pena fought on June 27, and Winn fought on March 7.

It’s unfortunate seeing someones victory taken away just because of marijuana, but it’s great to see at least none of these names popped for a tainted supplement. That’s been a huge problem for a lot of fighters recently.

Marc-Andre Barriault releases statement following USADA suspension

Not long ago we were all given a list of names of recent USADA suspensions, one name of which was Marc-Andre Barriault. He was one of the top Canadian prospects in the sport who came to the UFC in May of last year with a perfect 11-0 record. Though he lost his first three fights […]

The only problem with this of course is that he failed his post-fight drug test, testing positive for Ostarine. This has become pretty common within the sport of MMA, fighters testing positive for Ostarine found in tainted supplements, it’s become quite an issue. Tim Means was the first one a few years ago, and since, it’s happened to Nate Diaz, Sean O’Malley, Marvin Vettori, Nicco Montano, Ovince Saint Preux, Augusto Mendes, Thibault Gouti, Amanda Ribas, Rachael Ostovich, Diego Sanchez, and more, all from tainted supplements.

Barriault released the following statement earlier today regarding the matter: “Following a communication from the Nevada State Athletic Commission last week, I wanted to clarify the current situation to all my fans, the medias and everybody involved in the sport of mixed martial arts. (Via MMA Junkie)

“I was notified last week that an in-competition sample that I provided to the NSAC the night of my last fight on June 20, 2020, was positive for an extremely low level (approximately 190 picograms or 190 parts per trillion) of the prohibited substance, Ostarine.

“First and foremost, I want to make things crystal clear, I did not intentionally use Ostarine, nor have I ever knowingly used any prohibited substance in my career. Since the beginning of my professional career, I have been tested three times by the Quebec athletic commission, and a total of seven times under the UFC/USADA program and have always tested negative.

“Since I found out about this last week, I have learned quite a bit about Ostarine, specifically that it is commonly found as a low-level contaminant in certain dietary supplements, often at levels that provide absolutely no performance enhancing benefit. I strongly believe that a supplement contaminant is the reason for my low-level positive, and I am actively working with the UFC on reviewing and testing supplements that I have used prior to my June 20th fight, in the hope of identifying the culprit.

“While I am extremely disappointed in this development, I am looking forward to finding a definitive explanation for my low-level positive test, to fully cooperating with the NSAC and to getting back to work in the octagon soon.”

Jamahal Hill, Tim Elliott, and Luis Pena were also all recently handed suspensions, however, their failed drug tests were for marijuana. Hopefully, USADA can prove Barriault’s supplements to be the reason for the failed test, give them all a brief suspension, and hopefully, they don’t take their wins away and overturn them to no contests. Read more on the three names, disclosing Barriault, mentioned above here.
