Two UFC fighters suspended after testing positive for ostarine

Two UFC fighters had their temporary suspensions extended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) during Tuesday’s monthly meeting.

Darrius Flowers was scheduled to face Erick Gonzalez in a lightweight bout at UFC Vegas 70, but he was pulled from that fight in mid-February. Reports at the time indicated Flowers was off the card for unknown reasons.

During Tuesday’s NSAC meeting, Deputy Attorney General Joel Becker said Flowers “submitted to a urinalysis, the results of which reflected the presence of ostarine, a quote, other anabolic agent, banned under the latest WADA list. The testing of respondent’s B sample confirmed the results.
