USADA admit Tom Lawlor ‘might have been eligible for a lower sanction’ after two-year suspension

USADA have admitted that Tom Lawlor, who was banned for two years in October 2016 after testing positive for ostarine, might have been eligible for a lower sanction.

The news comes after four UFC fighters all recently tested positive for ostarine. However, USADA ruled all of the fighters “unintentionally ingested” the substance, which meant they were all handed just six-month suspensions due to consuming it from a contaminated supplement.

Lawlor didn’t take kindly to this news. The 35-year-old found himself in the same position as those four fighters a few years back, testing positive for 17 picograms of ostarine.
