For years, fighters with 50 clean drug tests got a nice jacket and a high-five from the UFC’s anti-doping czar.
With the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and UFC ending their partnership in January after eight years, they were left wondering what was next – and what about those jackets?
On Wednesday, USADA announced the end of the partnership. In an uncharacteristic stroke of candor, the anti-doping agency said the partnership became “untenable” over the return of Conor McGregor, who today announced his return to the USADA-administered drug testing pool after leaving it while recovering from a broken leg suffered at UFC 264.
Here’s how fighters reacted to the news on Wednesday.
Wait so is everyone taking steroids starting in January?
