UFC Fighters Not Happy With USADA: ‘They Don’t Pick Up My Calls’
The United States Anti-Doping Agency, or USADA, is the third-party organization that handles the UFC’s drug testing since the start of their new policy.
They’re the ones that have been randomly showing up to fighters houses at 6 in the morning to administer drug test. They’re also the ones that were in a bit of controversy recently, when a report came out detailing their questionable handling of Floyd Mayweather using an illegal IV before his fight with Manny Pacquiao.
One part of the USADA’s stringent testing is that all UFC fighters must make their whereabouts and locations known at all times so that they can be randomly tested whenever.
Well it seems like a few UFC fighters aren’t very happy with USADA right now. UFC welterweight Rory MacDonald took to Twitter to vent his frustration, saying that USADA won’t answer his phone calls and that the website is extremely annoying.
After he posted that, UFC featherweight Max Holloway chimed in and seemed to agree.
