Top UFC heavyweight Ben Rothwell has been flagged by USADA for a potential doping violation, stemming from a Feb. 6 drug test.
It is currently unknown what substance or processes Rothwell may have been flagged for. Additionally the UFC has yet to make a statement on the matter.
MMAFighting’s Marc Raimondi broke the news via twitter earlier this afternoon, but fell short of offering any further details in his official report.
