Suspension

On May 22, 2018, Ravena was suspended by FIBA for 18 months in all basketball-related activities. He was tested positive for methylhexanamine, 1,3-Dimethylbutylamine and higenamine, substances prohibited by WADA. Urine samples were taken after the Philippines vs Japan game at Manila during the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification. Ravena explained that he consumes a pre-workout drink called C4, which can be bought from retailers around Metro Manila. He ran out of supplies shortly before a training camp in Australia and took Blackstone Labs DUST, a supplement which is mixed with water and is supposedly similar to C4.[123][124] FIBA attributed the violation to Ravena's lack of anti-doping education.[125]

Prior to the suspension, Ravena is scheduled to play in the Visayas leg of the PBA All-Star in Iloilo City. However, Ravena was quickly pulled out by the SBP and head back to Manila.
