Junior dos Santos and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira are free to return to the UFC immediately.
The two Brazilian stars, as well as Marcos Rogerio de Lima, both received reduced, six-month suspensions by USADA after an investigation into two Brazilian pharmacies confirmed they were selling contaminated supplements that led to failed drug tests, the UFC’s anti-doping partner announced Monday.
Both dos Santos and Nogueira tested positive for the banned substance hydrocholorothiazide, while Rogerio de Lima failed a drug test for hydrocholorothiazide and anasatrozole.
The USADA release stated that the compounding pharmacies, located in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, were preparing medication on site and claimed to manufacture nutritional supplements without the possibility of cross-contamination.
