UFC bantamweight Guido Cannetti had to go to great lengths to save his fighting career.
Last October, just days away from his heated rematch with Marco Beltran at The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 3 Finale, Cannetti was notified by USADA – the UFC's anti-doping policy partner – that he failed an out-of-competition drug test. The Argentine fighter was then immediately suspended and pulled from his bout with Beltran, as he had tested positive for four banned substances: Ostarine, hydrochlorothiazide, chlorothiazide and stanozolol.
Cannetti was upset by the news and claimed innocence, telling MMA Fighting that he had not taken any of the banned substances he had popped for.
