Report: Tim Means won't face two-year suspension from USADA for failed drug test

Tim Means was befuddled by his positive drug test, which took him out of a UFC Fight Night 83 headliner opposite former lightweight title challenger Donald Cerrone one month ago. "Dirty Bird" was found to have ostarine in his system, which is a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM).

According to USADA.org, SARMs are "similar to anabolic agents," but "lack steroid-related side effects."

Now, after more than a month spent on the sidelines, Bloody Elbow has learned that Means may catch a break when it comes to punishment.
