In April, USADA announced that Good accepted a reduced six-month suspension due to his positive test likely occurring as a result of a tainted supplement. According to the lawsuit, Good purchased the multi-vitamin Anavite at a Vitamin Shoppe store prior to UFC 205. Good turned the supplement over to USADA, and it was found to contain androstenedione even though that substance was not listed on the label.
In the complaint, Good states that manufacturer Gaspari Nutrition added the banned substance to “increase sales in the competitive dietary supplements industry.” According to MMAFighting.com, Good is seeking damages for breach of express warranty (or sales contract), deceptive acts and practices, false advertising, and assault and battery from multiple supplement companies – including Gaspari and Vitamin Shoppe – in two separate lawsuits.
Good returned to the Octagon at UFC on Fox 25 on July 22, losing a split decision to Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. The New York native is 19-4 with one no contest over the course of his professional career.
