USADA not letting Cro Cop off the hook, began investigating drug use before retirement

The USADA have provided some clarification on Mirko Cro Cop's Anti-Doping violation.

On Thursday, kickboxing and MMA legend Mirko Filipovic Cro Cop admitted his use of performance-enhancing drugs following a provisional suspension issued by the USADA.

The entire situation is unclear, as Cro Cop says he was forced to retire due to an accumulation of injuries. The former PRIDE FC heavyweight champion was set to take on Anthony Hamilton at UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Alves on November 28th, however, Cro Cop pulled out of the bout citing a shoulder injury.
