Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) announced today that Khalil Rountree of Las Vegas, NV, has accepted a 2-month sanction for a violation of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.
Rountree self-reported to UFC personnel the mistaken use of a dietary supplement that contained DHEA, a prohibited at all times anabolic steroid, as one of its several ingredients. Shortly after beginning use of the supplement, a biological sample was collected by Drug Free Sport International (DFSI) from Rountree on May 4th, 2024, and was shipped to and tested by the Sports Medicine Research Testing Laboratory (SMRTL) in Salt Lake City, Utah. SMRTL’s Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) testing reflected that the sample was consistent with the exogenous origin of 5a-androstanediol, 5b-androstanediol and androsterone, all metabolites of DHEA.
