Marvin Vettori ‘paranoid to a different level’ following USADA suspension

Marvin Vettori wants to make one thing perfectly clear — he never knowingly cheated despite the six month suspension he received from USADA.

The middleweight competitor was lumped in a group of four fighters who faced disciplinary action from the UFC’s anti-doping partner after testing positive for ostarine last year. Ostarine is a banned substance, illegal to use at any time by athletes competing in the UFC.

Vettori received a reduced six-month sentence because USADA officials do not believe he purposefully cheated due to the low amount of the banned substance in his system, which was consistent with a contaminated supplement.
