Amanda Ribas, we hardly knew ye.
The Brazilian women’s strawweight fighter has been suspended two years by USADA before ever even making her UFC debut, the UFC’s anti-doping partner announced Wednesday.
Ribas tested positive for the banned substance ostarine stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected June 7, 2017. Ostarine is in the Anabolic Agents category of the UFC’s anti-doping policy and carries a maximum sanction of two years for first offenders.
“Ostarine, also known as MK-2866 and Enobosarm, is a non-FDA approved selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that is illegally sold in the United States and worldwide as a performance-enhancing substance,” the USADA release stated.
