USADA suspends UFC fighter Yaozong Hu for 10 months
David G. McIntyre-USA TODAY Sports UFC light heavyweight Yaozong Hu has accepted a 10-month suspension from USADA, the UFC’s anti-doping partner announced Friday.
Hu tested positive for arimistane and its metabolite 7β-hydroxy-androst-3,5-diene-17-one in an out-of-competition drug test administered by USADA on March 9. Arimistane, which falls in the class of hormone and metabolic modulators, is prohibited under the UFC anti-doping policy at all times.
Hu is eligible to return Jan. 9, 2020.
USADA determined in an investigation that Hu’s positive sample stemmed from his use of a dietary supplement, per a press release. However, the product listed a prohibited substance on the label.
