“Although Usman ultimately took responsibility for the above details, he did not do so in a timely manner and not until CSAD confronted him with evidence they independently collected during a detailed investigation into his use of these multiple banned substances and his attempt to deceive CSAD with a false statement,” the release said.
According to the organization, “if a UFC athlete uses multiple means as Usman did and engages in deceptive or obstructive conduct to avoid adjudication of an anti-doping policy violation, as he did, then there are aggravating circumstances.” Therefore, CSAD decided it was “appropriate” to add six months to the standard two-year suspension “due to these aggravating factors.”
The former Ultimate Fighter winner will be 39 years old when his ban ends in April 2028. Usman last fought in June 2025, when he won a decision over Hamdy Abdelwahab to take his promotional record to 4-2.
