Marc-Andre Barriault prevailed in his must-win bout vs. Oskar Piechota, but a failed drug test puts both his win and his overall future with the UFC in jeopardy.
The Canadian middleweight tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine in an in-competition sample collected by the Nevada State Athletic Commission back in June. On Wednesday, the commission extended Barriault’s temporary suspension as he awaits his hearing.
In a statement to Yahoo Sports, Barriault denied knowingly using Ostarine and believed that a contaminated supplement resulted in the positive.
Following a communication from the Nevada State Athletic Commission last week, I wanted to clarify the current situation to all my fans, the medias and everybody involved in the sport of mixed martial arts.
