UFC light heavyweight veteran Ovince Saint Preux gets a 6-month USADA suspension for a second violation. According to USADA, Saint Preux can return to competition as of December 17.
In a statement from the agency, it is said that the 40-year-old veteran tested positive in a out-of-competition test.
”Saint Preux, 40, tested positive for 3α-hydroxy-5α-androst-1-en-17-one (a long-term metabolite of 1-Androstenedione and/or 1-Testosterone) as the result of urine samples collected out-of-competition on June 17, 2023, and July 11, 2023. Because Saint Preux was not yet notified of his first positive test when his second test was collected, the two positive tests are combined into a single violation, as required under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.”
