“Both of us are very surprised by these results,” Muhammed Lawal’s manager Mike Kogan told USA TODAY. “Neither of us has ever heard of this drug. … We honestly have no clue where this came from.”

Other than food and drink, the only substances that Lawal takes on a regular basis are iron supplements, Kogan said. When Lawal had fluid drained from his knee a few weeks before the bout, he did receive an injection of a non-anabolic steroid, Kogan said.

At least four fighters have tested positive for drostanolone: former UFC lightweight contender Hermes Franca in July 2007; light-heavyweight Bill Mahood in October 2007; welterweight Dennis Hallman in November 2007; and former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett in July 2009.
