Ricardo Abreu has already retired from mixed martial arts but he wouldn’t be fighting any time soon regardless after being hit with a four year suspension by USADA on Friday.
USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) announced that Abreu was hit with the lengthy suspension following a second doping violation from drug testing while he was competing in the UFC.
“Abreu, 33, tested positive for 19-norandrosterone (19-NA), the main urinary metabolite of nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) and other 19-norsteroids, above the decision limit of 3.4 ng/mL following an out-of-competition urine test conducted on December 21, 2016,” USADA officials wrote in a press release.
