Yoel Romero and his manager stated today that a tainted supplement was to blame for his failed USADA drug test.
According to Yoel Romero and his manager Malki Kawa, the middleweight UFC fighter did not knowingly ingest an illegal substance. They claim that it is a tainted supplement to blame, and that's why Romero failed a USADA drug test in the weeks after his UFC 194 win over Ronaldo Souza.
The two men were guests on The MMA Hour earlier today, and Kawa explained the circumstances behind the failed test (via MMA Fighting):
"The substance has a label with a bunch of stuff on it," Kawa said.
