Marco Polo Reyes has accepted a six-month suspension for an anti-doping violation, USADA announced Monday.
The UFC lightweight tested positive for the banned substance ostarine in an out-of-competition drug test conducted on March 8. It was determined that Reyes’ failed drug test resulted from a contaminated supplement, which resulted in a reduced sanction from the maximum of two years.
Since Reyes’ suspension began on March 15, he was eligible to return to UFC competition on Sept. 15. “El Toro” has been victorious in four of his five Octagon appearances, most recently scoring a 60-second knockout of Matt Frevola at UFC Fight Night 124 on Jan.
