It’s been a tough week for Morocco’s fighting Azaitar brothers. 13-0 lightweight was released by the UFC shortly before his fight vs. Matt Frevola at UFC 257 on January 23, after he apparently allowed his wrist band to be transferred to someone who entered the league’s anti-COVID bubble on Fight Island. And now older brother, middleweight , has received a reduced 7-month suspension for tamoxifen, after a retroactive TUE was denied.

Azaitar, 34, tested positive for tamoxifen and/or tamoxifen metabolite 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-tamoxifen as the result of urine samples collected on August 25, 2020, September 4, 2020, September 9, 2020 and September 17, 2020. Tamoxifen is a Specified Substance in the class of Hormone and Metabolic Modulators and is prohibited at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy and UFC Prohibited List.
After being notified of his positive test, Azaitar provided evidence (including medical records), that he was prescribed tamoxifen by a physician to treat symptoms. Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator used therapeutically to treat certain types of cancer in females and also prescribed off-label for males with various other conditions. Although the substance was taken at the direction of a physician, Azaitar lacked a valid Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) and his subsequent application for a retroactive TUE was denied due to lack of sufficient medical justification. Under the applicable rules, Azaitar was eligible for a reduction to the period of ineligibility based on the specific circumstances of his case and for his Full and Complete Cooperation.
Azaitar’s seven-month period of ineligibility began on August 25, 2020, the date his first positive sample was collected.
Abu Azaitar will be eligible to fight again on March 25. UFC president Dana White was incensed at Ottman’s switching of wrist bands, and said the fighter would never return to the organization.
