Gleison Tibau has dropped his plans to appeal his two years USADA suspension, and now he's opening up about exactly why he decided to do so.
If there's anything good to be said about Gleison Tibau's drug test failure, it's that he's taken a pretty remarkably open stance on explaining what his process in dealing with the news has been. He tested positive for Erythropoietin (EPO) in a pair of drug test failures (one in competition, one out of competition) surrounding his November 7th win over Abel Trujillo at UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson 3. Tibau was handed a two year suspension for his USADA drug testing policy violation, a punishment that he planned to appeal.
