BARNETT SUES SUPPLEMENT MAKER
Posted: 051018

Blew a Drug Teat Due to a Contaminated Supplement

Former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett was notified in December of 2016 that he tested positive after an out-of-competition sample collection. This March an arbitrator ruled that Barnett’s positive drug test result was unintentional and most likely caused by a tainted supplement. The arbitrators ruling was as follows, “On the evidence before me, the applicant is not a drug cheat. He unknowingly ingested a contaminated product. In so doing, he did commit an anti-doping policy violation because he had a prohibited substance in his sample, but he did not actively engage in attempting, in any way, to engage in the use of the prohibited substance.” Barnett has failed drug tests before so a failure wasn’t a surprise but in this case he didn’t do anything wrong and was sidelined for 15 months. So he is suing the supplement company that provided him with the tainted supplement. Barnett was taking something that supposedly contained a natural and plant derived supplement but instead contained an anabolic steroid. The suit claims that being suspended cost him a $275,000 UFC fight and a number of expenses created by being suspended.
