UFC welterweight pulled from card before he even fails USADA drug test

UFC fighter George Sullivan was pulled from UFC on FOX 20 even he has yet to fail a USADA drug test.

George Sullivan was supposed to fight Hector Urbina this weekend at UFC on FOX 20, until he was informed that he was being pulled from the card because of a "potential compliance issue" of the anti-doping policy. Interestingly enough, he has been removed from the event even if he has yet to fail a drug test.

"UFC competitor George Sullivan voluntarily disclosed information to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) that could pose a potential compliance issue with the UFC Anti-Doping Policy," the UFC statement states.
