Following the news that Jim Wallhead’s positive test for ostarine was the result of a contaminated supplement he took, the British fighter took to Twitter to comment on the news.

USADA recently announced that Wallhead has accepted a nine month suspension, as a result of testing positive for ostarine last fall. Although the veteran fighter was able to demonstrate that a supplement he took was tainted with the banned substance, the official announcement included:

“Here, USADA took into consideration the circumstances that resulted in Wallhead’s positive test, including his failure to thoroughly research the contaminated supplement, or recognize the increased risk of purchasing a supplement from a supplier that also produces products with prohibited substances. As such, USADA determined that a nine-month period of ineligibility was an appropriate sanction under the rules for his violation.”

Wallhead, meanwhile, posted the comments regarding the situation.
