earlier this week it was exposed that Yoel Romero, who just recently evaluated positive for a prohibited compound in an out-of-competition test conducted by USADA in truth ingested the compound inadvertently.
The old ‘tainted supplement’ support is as old as doping allegations themselves which are seldom satisfied with candid admissions of wrongdoing. Romero, however, appears to be caught in a genuine situation of tainted supplements.
The compound Romero evaluated positive for, Ibutamoren, was not labelled on the supplement he ingested.
USADA reports that their investigation exposed that “testing conclusively confirmed” Yoel was utilizing a “contaminated” supplement. USADA issued the complying with press release –
“Romero offered USADA with gain access to to the dietary supplement products he was utilizing at the time of the appropriate sample collection. Although Ibutamoren was not noted on any type of of the supplement labels, preliminary testing conducted on one of the products suggested that it contained the prohibited substance. The existence of an concealed prohibited compound in a product is regarded as contamination.
At USADA’s request, the WADA-accredited lab in Salt Lake City, Utah, separately acquired as well as analyzed the contents of an unopened container of the supplement in question. That testing conclusively verified that a supplement Camiseta Feyenoord Romero utilized was contaminated with Ibutamoren”
Malki Kawa, CEO at Camiseta River Plate very first round management, took to Twitter to protect Romero noting that “Yoel did not cheat“. Given the strict liability provisions in the UFC/USADA anti-doping program this is of bit repercussion as well as Romero was still sanctioned.
The story may not end here, however, with Kawa, responding as complies with to a concern whether legal action against the supplement manufacture is contemplated –
If a supplement producer is certainly selling a product including unlabeled WADA banned substances a suit might have a strong prospect for success. Supplement business offer their products to athletes, numerous of whom contend in sports subject to the WADA prohibited list. It would be lawfully foreseeable that damage can be caused, not just financially, Camiseta Kashiwa Reysol however likewise to the expert credibility of athletes who ended up being labelled as medication cheats with the inadvertent ingestion of banned substances.
I will continue to report on this problem as this story develops.
