UFC bantamweight Andre Ewell gets USADA warning after ostarine positive

UFC bantamweight Andre Ewell has gotten off with a public warning after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency found a substance linked to several tainted supplement cases.

The UFC’s anti-doping partner on Tuesday announced the resolution of Ewell’s anti-doping case, which began after he failed an out-of-competition drug test conducted on Oct. 15, 2020. Ewell subsequently provided a sample of a dietary supplement he was using at the time that upon testing by USADA revealed low levels of ostarine, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that’s popped up repeatedly in anti-doping cases.

“Although no prohibited substances were listed on the supplement label, the analysis revealed a low level of ostarine in the product,” USADA stated in the release.
