UFC's Rachael Ostovich Suspended 1 Year for Failed PED Test

UFC flyweight fighter Rachael Ostovich has accepted a one-year ban for violating the organization's anti-doping policy, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced Thursday.

Ostovich tested positive for ostarine—a substance similar to anabolic steroids—on January 3 as she was preparing to face Shana Dobson at UFC Fight Night 168 in February. The ban is retroactive to the date of the test, leaving her out of the sport until early January 2021.
