George Sullivan is dealing with his second USADA case in the last eight months, but is adamant that he has not knowingly cheated.
The UFC welterweight tested positive for a banned substance stemming from a sample collected Jan. 14 and is facing a UFC anti-doping policy violation. At the time, Sullivan was serving a one-year USADA suspension for a violation he was hit with in November. USADA could give double the suspension this time, because it’s potentially Sullivan’s second offense.
However, Sullivan said there is an explanation as to why he tested positive for a prohibited drug in January: he was taking a prescribed fertility medication to help him and his wife have a baby, he told MyMMANews in a video published over the weekend.
