“Filthy” Tom Lawlor, whose two-year suspension from UFC competition was scheduled to end in two months, was released today by the company, Lawlor said.
The news shocked a lot of people because he had asked for a release several times during his period of suspension by USADA for a failed drug test for Ostarine, a banned substance and member of the SARM group. The UFC did not release him so he switched over to pro wrestling, with the idea of returning to MMA at the conclusion of the suspension.
The concentration of the Ostarine was low, but Lawlor, who avoided supplements for fear of contamination, couldn’t find an explanation as to what caused him to test positive.
