Michel Rivera is still in suspension following prohibited drug use

The recent days were not good for the Dominican star, as he suffered a defeat against Frank Martin last year December.

After that, he was put under suspension for using an illegal substance. He was suspended by World Anti-Doping Agency or WADA, for allegedly using hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene. Both drugs work as diuretics which let the body reduce fluid and also reduce blood pressure.
