Ostarine, also known as MK-2866 and Enobosarm, stimulates an increase in muscle mass and strength. The substance is not legal for sale worldwide.

PUBLICITY:

USADA also reported that the fighter accepted the punishment, which is retroactive to the date of the test. Therefore, Lawlor will only be able to fight again from October 2018.
