The two failed checks came out-of-levels of competition.

We will keep on to advocate for alterations to the Environment Anti-Doping Code so that in which there is no intent to cheat and no overall performance advantage, an athlete must not facial area any violation or unwanted general public awareness.”

UFC Senior VP of Athlete Health and Effectiveness — AKA “The Golden Snitch” — Jeff Novitzky took to Twitter to demonstrate that UFC’s testing has thresholds that should really assistance prevent incidents like these.
