Upon being added to the UFC Anti-Doping Program, an athlete who voluntarily and promptly discloses the use of a prohibited substance prior to testing will not be deemed to have committed a violation if they test positive from the prior use.

Sherman received an additional reduction to the period of ineligibility for his Full and Complete Cooperation.
