Chad Mendes reveals some information regarding his potential USADA violation

Former UFC featherweight title contender Chad Mendes was flagged recently for a “potential Anti-Doping Policy violation” by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

The UFC released a statement saying that they were notified of the potential violation by USADA after they collected an out-of-competition sample from Mendes.

Mendes revealed some information on twitter saying, “I didn’t do my homework and that was a big mistake. I own it and I’m going to pay for it.”

I didn't do my homework and that was a big mistake. I own it and I'm going to pay for it.
