The NBA announced Tuesday that Cleveland Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson has been suspended for the next 25 games for violating the league’s anti-drug program.
Reports suggest that Thompson tested positive for ibutamoren and SARM LGD-4033. Ibutamoren is a substance that can increase the level of Human Growth Hormones (HGH) in the body, while SARM LGD-4033 can increase bone density and muscle growth.
The LGD that Thompson tested positive for is one of the strongest SARMs regarding strength and size.
