USADA announced today that Vince Murdock, of Sacramento, Calif., received a reduction in his suspension after presenting new evidence to USADA that indicates a decreased degree of fault for his violation of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.
Murdock initially accepted a 20-month sanction in September of 2019 as the result of testing positive for GW1516 metabolites during an out-of-competition urine sample, which was his first test in the UFC Anti-Doping Program. Murdock did not declare the use of GW1516 on his onboarding declaration form, as required, but came forward with evidence of his use of this prohibited substance before entering the Program.
