On December 4, 2020, the UFC announced that Barriault had accepted a 6-month USADA suspension for testing positive in-competition for ostarine by the Nevada State Athlete Commission (NSAC) on June 20, 2020.

After a thorough investigation into Barriault's positive test, including follow-up testing, an evaluation of the circumstances surrounding his positive tests, and finding no evidence of intentional use, USADA gave him a reduced suspension that it was consistent with low-level ostarine cases with evidence of contamination.
