Lavar Johnson fick under mars sitt UFC-kontrakt rivet, då det visade sig att Johnson hade för höga testosteronvärden i sig efter matchen mot Brendan Schaub. Nu meddelar Lavar att det positiva testet i alla fall inte handlade om steroider, utan en TRT-behandling som han inte fått godkänd.
Här kan ni läsa vad Johnson hade att säga, via ”The MMA Hour”:
What happened was basically I was on TRT, I just didn’t disclose it to the athletic commission. It was my mistake. I was taking such little amounts; me and my doctor didn’t think anything was going to pop up, like it’s no big deal. I guess any time you’re taking any kind of testosterone it’s going to show on the test. So that’s basically what I got popped for.
You know, if you take steroids they’ll suspend you for a year. I wasn’t taking steroids. I was prescribed [TRT] by a doctor. They suspended me for nine months, and I ended up showing them my prescription from my doctor and everything. They ended up reducing it to six months. That was it. Unfortunately I got released from the UFC, and messed up the good opportunity. But Bellator, they believe in me, and they are going to give the opportunity and chance to showcase my skills.
Den 4 oktober kommer Lavar att ta sig an Vinicius Kappke de Queiroz, vid Bellator 102.
