CHAD MENDES HAS been flagged for a ‘potential Anti-doping Policy violation’ according to the UFC.
The No 4 ranked featherweight — who lost to Conor McGregor in Las Vegas last summer — is said to have failed an out-of-competition drug test by USADA.
Mendes has not fought since his defeat to Frankie Edgar in December.
“The UFC organisation was notified today that the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Chad Mendes of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collection,” a UFC statement reads.
“USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case. It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.”
