Welterweight fighter George Sullivan has been suspended one-year following a positive drug test returned in January as administered by USADA, who handles the UFC’s anti-doping policy.
It was actually the second anti-doping policy violation for Sullivan, who had previously been suspended for a year after he admitted use of another banned substance called Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 in 2016.
This time around, Sullivan tested positive for clomiphene and its metabolite, 4-hydroxyclomiphene following an out-of-competition sample that was collected on Jan. 14 this year. Clomiphene is a banned substance and prohibited at all times under WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) rules, which have been adapted by the UFC’s anti-doping policy.
