Junior Dos Santos har haft ett par hektiska timmar, minst sagt. Men det kan nu visa sig att hans positiva dopingtest kan vara enklare förklarat. Dos Santos har visat spår av urindrivande medel vilket är dopingklassat enligt WADA då en individ kan dölja otillåtna preparat med sådana substanser. Men i Junior Dos Santos fall kan det till och med handla om en så enkel sak som en Ipren-tablett för mycket. Genom MMAJunkie förklarar de vidare.
Junior tested positive for a substance called Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic and is banned by USADA due to its use as a masking agent. We do not know where this substance came from. Junior has had his blood and urine randomnly tested many times and has never once tested positive for a banned substance.
We requested testing of his B sample today. Most times, the B sample will show the identical results as the A sample. Therefore, we are already working on analyzing his nutritional supplements and medications to determine whether anything might have been contaminated. Jeff Novitzky and Donna Marcolini of the UFC have provided the guidance for this process, and we are grateful to them for their professionalism and competence.
it’s possible for an athlete to buy some ibuprofen over the counter from a pharmacy, and for that ibuprofen to, legally, contain a tiny amount of leftover hydrochlorothiazide. An amount not enough to have any physical effects, but still enough to show up on a drug test.
Dos Santos var schemalagd att gå match mot Francis Ngannou. En match som nu är struken på grund av Dos Santos positiva dopingtest. Framtiden får helt enkelt utvisa om så är fallet.
