Abu Azaitar, brother of recently expelled UFC fighter Ottoman Azaitar, has accepted a seven-month USADA suspension when four tests revealed the banned substance tamoxifen (and its metabolites) in his system.
The tamoxifen was found “as the result of urine samples collected” in four separate tests on Abu Azaitar between Aug. 25 and Sept. 17 of this past year, USADA announced on Monday in a press release. Azaitar presented evidence of a doctor’s prescription for the drug, which has been linked to post-cycle steroid use and is banned at all times. He applied retroactively for a therapeutic-use exemption, which would have cleared him of wrongdoing.
