Chris Weidman, Jorge Masvidal and Dustin Poirier recount surprise USADA testing encounters
The former UFC stars shared tales of surprise visits, missed testing windows and some very inconvenient restroom situations in the latest edition of “Deep Waters.” Weidman recalled one occasion when testing agents tracked him down during a round of golf.
“I was golfing one time and so they had to come to the golf course and they waited for me at the turn,” Weidman said. “I had to go take pee and blood and my boys had to wait for me to do it, because once they see you, you can’t leave their eyesight.”
The former UFC middleweight champion also recalled receiving a warning after staying at his mountain home without updating his whereabouts.
“I got a call that they were at my house,” Weidman said. “So, now I had to fly home. I’m flying there, but I hit some traffic. The guy left and that was a warning because I didn’t get tested within the two-hour frame.”
In yet another incident, Weidman was caught in a difficult position when USADA arrived unexpectedly while he was recovering from surgery.
“So, I do the IV, I come back from the hospital, I’m on the painkillers and everything and I have the band on my arm from the IV and you’re not allowed to get IVs,” Weidman said. “It was a f*cking nightmare and I was so paranoid that I was going to get in trouble.”
Masvidal went on to share his experience. He said testers arrived shortly after a hard training session and followed him around Miami while he waited to provide a sample.
“I’m at Top Team; they followed me all the way to Miami,” Masvidal said. “Take them everywhere with me, eating, drinking. You’ve got to get me before practice; don’t ever come after practice.”
Poirier, meanwhile, recalled being tested while purchasing a vehicle.
