Juancamilo Ronderos has received a sanction from UFC anti-doping partner U.S. Anti-Doping Agency after testing positive for cocaine.
USADA announced Thursday that Ronderos (4-1) was suspended for one month following a positive drug test for cocaine and its metabolite benzoylecgonine stemming from an in-competition sample collected for his UFC debut on May 22 at UFC Vegas 27. Ronderos lost a flyweight bout to David Dvorak after stepping in on 24 hours’ notice for Raulian Paiva.
Cocaine is a non-specified stimulant on the USADA’s prohibited list and is classified as a substance of abuse.
