USADA announced that Justin Ledet accepted a four-month sanction after testing positive for a prohibited substance from a contaminated supplement per its UFC Anti-Doping web site.
The sanction is retroactive to January 12, 2017, when the out-of-competition test was taken. Ledet
Via USADA:
Ledet, 29, tested positive for 5α-androst-1-ene-3α-ol-17-one, a metabolite of 1-testosterone and 1-androstenedione, following an out-of-competition test conducted on January 12, 2017. 1-testosterone and 1-androstenedione are non-Specified Substances in the class of Anabolic Agents and prohibited at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, which has adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.
Following notification of his positive test, Ledet provided USADA with an open container of a dietary supplement product he was using at the time of the relevant sample collection, which he had also declared on his sample collection paperwork and researched before using. Although no prohibited substances were listed on the supplement label, preliminary testing conducted on the contents of the open container indicated that it contained the anabolic agent 1-androstenedione. The presence of an undisclosed prohibited substance in a product is regarded as contamination.
Payout Perspective:
A couple days earlier Lyman Good received a 6 month sanction for a tainted vitamin. It appears that Ledet received 2 months shorter due to the fact that he was able to produce the dietary supplement and declared it on his collection paperwork. The short suspension, which ends, this month reflects the fact that it pays to disclose the information and keep track of everything that goes in your body.
