Two-time Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight title contender Chad Mendes said he was going to pay for his mistake, one that returned a positive drug test under the watchful eyes of United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) back in June.
He wasn't kidding, as USADA just dropped the hammer on "Money," according to its official website.
Mendes, 31, tested positive for GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone-Releasing Hexapeptide) following an out-of-competition urine test conducted on May 17, 2016. GHRP-6 is a prohibited substance in the class of Peptide Hormones, Growth Factors, Related Substances and Mimetics under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, which has adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.
