Earlier in the year, the fan-favorite UFC lightweight fighter, Bobby Green, tested positive for anabolic androgens. It cost him dearly, as he got a suspension of six months by USADA. He also was pulled off from UFC till the end of his suspension.

Bobby Green’s suspension had a hard impression on the fans. Further, the announcement of his removal from UFC rankings sent the fans into a frenzy.

Bobby Green suspended by USADA

The lightweight fighter, Bobby ‘King’ Green was suspended for six months by the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency). He tested positive for an anabolic androgenic steroidal compound in the urinalysis. The ‘King’ later revealed that he took dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) as a supplement. He claimed to be unaware of the fact it was a banned androgenic product.

Later, Green took responsibility for his actions. He also accepted that it was his fault for testing positive in the drug test. However, DHEA was available in the US as an over-the-counter supplement formulation. Since Green was unaware of the ban, and he cooperated fully with the USADA, he got a reduced suspension of six months. 

“I had no idea, guys, what I was doing. That it was wrong, that there was any benefits to what I was doing. I would never try to cheat”, Green claimed. He also added that he was against drugs and PEDs. 

Bobby Green removed from UFC

Recently, UFC Roster Watch tweeted, “Fighter removed: Bobby Green”.
