The UFC has made a significant change in the way anti-doping policy violations will become public.
No longer will the UFC announce when a fighter is facing a potential anti-doping policy violation when the result comes in, promotion officials told ESPN for an article that published Friday. Instead, the announcement about a violation — or lack thereof — will only be made after the conclusion of USADA’s adjudication process.
In other words, the UFC will only make a failed drug test public after USADA completes its investigation and determines the level of sanction, or none at all.
