Mairbek Taisumov has accepted a six-month suspension from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency after testing positive for stanozolol, after proving that his supplements were contaminated.

According to USADA on Thursday, Taisumov has been suspended for six months dating back to October 8. After submitting his dietary supplements to USADA, the agency determined that despite not listing the substance on the labels, those substances still contained stanozolol.
