UFC News - USADA slammed by Brendan Schaub
Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub has slammed the United States Anti-Doping Agency for only testing Jon Jones once this year.
“Again, I tell you guys this all the time, if you think USADA’s organization is the end-all-be-all and is the goody-two-shoes of the world when it comes to drug testing, you’re fooling yourself,” Schaub declared. “A man who has been notoriously known for failing drug tests gets tested once?! I’ve always been skeptical of USADA. Always.
“Of course [Daniel Cormier]’s gonna pass the tests. Of course they have to test the athletes, of course they have to test certain guys, but does no one find it kind of sketchy that the guy who we know 100 percent is going to pass the test, gets tested more than the guy who is known for failing tests?!
"And I’m not even a conspiracy theory guy. But does no one think this is f**king strange? How crazy is that?
“Or how Holly Holm is tested all the time. They have to check boxes. We know for a fact, DC and Holly Holm are never gonna fail a test. So if you test them relentlessly, we can go on your site and go, ‘ F**k, look, they’re doing their job.’
“But when you look at people who are skeptical, and they’re not getting tested, do you not think anything’s up here?”
