Steroid-free Tim Means challenges USADA test, raises questions of cross contamination

Maybe the "Bird" isn't so "Dirty" after all.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran Tim Means was pulled from his Donald Cerrone fight on Tuesday, which was originally scheduled for the upcoming UFC Fight Night 83 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on FOX Sports 1 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

That's because a potential anti-doping violation was detected in a recent out-of-competition drug test (details).

Means, however, insists he's not juicing or trying to gain a competitive edge, telling his Twitter followers he never heard of Ostarine and that his violation came out of left field.
