Daily Debate results: What is USADA’s responsibility to fighters like Tom Lawlor?

Last week, four UFC competitors received short suspensions for their use of the banned substance Ostarine.

While that’s good for the fighters involved, who could have been suspended up to two years for unknowingly taking the substance, that’s little solace for competitors like Tom Lawlor, who served a two-year suspension for trace amounts of the same substance.

So the question MMA Junkie Radio asked fight fans: What, if anything, should the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency do for fighters like Lawlor, who received harsh punishments before USADA started handing out lighter sentences for the same offense?

It’s clear the vast majority of you believe USADA should do something. 26 percent believe fighters deserve financial compensation for time missed; 15 percent believe in a public statement or apology, and the biggest percentage said fighters deserve both.

Less than one in five of you picked “Nothing.”
