#4 Tom Lawlor busted by USADA

Lawlor has been flagged by USADA

UFC Lightweight, Tom Lawlor, was flagged by USADA this past week. The United States Anti-Doping Agency notified UFC that the sample collected from Lawlor, on October 10, 2016, tested positive, resulting in Lawlor’s suspension.

The fighter later went on to note on his Twitter account that he tested for Ostarine.

“For everyone who has been speculating, the substance I potentially tested positive for is Ostarine. There's not much news other than that.”

Ostarine was the same substance that Tim Means, tested positive for, earlier this year. Means had noted that it was due to tainted supplements but went on to accept six-month suspension, from USADA.
