UFC welterweight Jesse Ronson on Tuesday said he’s been suspended for 20 months by the United States Anti-Doping Agency after testing positive for a banned substance.
Ronson broke the news via his own Facebook page with additional sources confirming the information to MMA Fighting. USADA does not release information about an athlete’s suspension until the adjudication process has been completed, but Ronson took it upon himself to reveal the recent news.
According to Ronson, he tested positive for a substance called Metandienone, which is an androgen and anabolic steroid. Metandienone is well known as a physique and performance enhancing drug introduced and previously sold under the brand name Dianabol.
