Regardless if Sasaki was on Rc suppressants in some way, shape, or form, at this point of the story it has never been confirmed so remains speculation unless said otherwise. Imo, I think part of the mystery of his Rc level somewhat lies in whatever the CCG is feeding him. We know that the prisoners of Cochlea are fed some sort of "stew" and it's thought that Sasaki might be fed the same thing. What exactly is the stew and what's in it a a mystery. Is it human remains with some of the Rc Cells removed so that ghouls' Rc count don't rise too high? Does it have suppressants in it? Both? Sasaki has to be eating something at the CCG, so is whatever they're feeding him either deprived of the nutrients needed or laced with a low dose of suppressants? Eto's kakuja seems to have given him an enormous boost, so maybe it was just a matter of being deprived of proper Rc Cells.

We have some allusions to some things here and there, but these details of Sasaki's ghoul nature and how the CCG copes with it haven't been entirely laid out yet.
