The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) today announced Diego Ferreira has accepted a 17-month suspension for an anti-doping policy violation. Ferreira (12-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) was set to face Abel Trujillo (14-6 MMA, 5-2 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 88 on May 29 in Las Vegas. After being tested out-of-competition by UFC anti-doping partner USADA, his test came back positive for Ostarine, a selective androgen receptor modulator with steroid-like properties. That positive test was in addition to Ferreira self-reporting use of a supplement that contained another banned substance, 7-keto-DHEA
