Early this week, T.J. Dillashaw came forward to reveal some “adverse findings” on his in-competition drug test for UFC Brooklyn taken last January 18th. As a result, he was given a year-long suspension by the New York State Athletic Commission, which urged him to relinquish his UFC bantamweight title.
The substance he tested positive for has not been revealed, but according to observers like former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate, this case bears some similarities with that of Jon Jones’.
“There was a point when it wasn’t strictly enforced, and I do believe that probably the majority of people were using,” Tate said on MMA on SiriusXM (transcript by MMA News).
