The UFC posted the following statement regarding Yoel Romero being notified of potential anti-doping policy violation by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) informed Yoel Romero of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collection.
USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Romero. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.”
Romero (11-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) recently earned a narrow split-decision win over fellow contender Ronaldo “Jocare” Souza (22-4 MMA, 5-1 UFC) at this past month’s UFC 194 event in Las Vegas.
