Duane Ludwig, Strength and Conditioning Coach Call Dillashaw’s Failed Drug Test ‘Inexcusable’
Tuesday's revelation that T.J. Dillashaw tested positive for recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) ahead of his UFC Brooklyn bout against Henry Cejudo may have tainted his legacy beyond repair.
It is unlikely that Dillashaw will be able to use the tainted supplement or unintentional ingestion defense in this instance. As a result of the failed test, Dillashaw has been suspended two years retroactive to January 2019. He relinquished his belt last month when the New York State Athletic Commission initially reported adverse findings in his in-competition sample.
