Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir considering taking legal action against USADA

After a positive test for turinabol forced his UFC exit, Frank Mir is considering taking legal action against USADA for causing him to ‘lose millions’.

Mir, 39, was handed a two-year ban from USADA in April 2017 for testing positive for the same long-term M3 turinabol metabolite that has recently troubled Jon Jones. With USADA clearing Jones’ case for the steroid due to a ‘pulsing’ effect, Mir told RT Today he is considering a lawsuit for his positive test.

“I’ve lost millions. I had six more fights on a contract that paid me well. If you have noticed, my last fight, I didn’t even have sponsors,” Mir said.
