UFC flyweight competitor Rachael Ostovich has been suspended by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency following a failed drug test for two different banned substances.
According to USADA officials, Ostovich tested positive for ostarine and GW1516 following an out-of-competition drug test administered on Jan. 3. Both substances are banned at all times for athletes competing in the UFC.
While a one year suspension was initially issued, Ostovich received a four-month reduction in her sentence due to a provisional suspension she faced in 2019 due to an atypical finding that was being investigated by USADA. That investigation did not end with any type of sanction being issued, so USADA offered Ostovich the additional four-month reduction in her new one year sanction.
