Report: Yoel Romero Sues Tainted Supplement Maker Over 2016 Positive USADA Test

Yoel Romero has been granted another interim title shot, but the Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight has another kind of fight in the works, too.

According to a report by Forbes, Romero has filed a lawsuit against Goldstar Performance Products in New Jersey Superior Court. The suit regards Romero’s 2015 positive test for Ibutamoren. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency describes Ibutamoren as “a prohibited substance in the class of Peptide Hormones, Growth Factors, Related Substances and Mimetics under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.”

The suit alleges that Goldstar “failed to maintain the production facility” and “knew” that it was producing supplements contaminated with unlisted substances.
