It would appear that another competitor in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has now been flagged by USADA, the mixed martial arts promotion’s anti-doping watchdogs.
Grant Dawson most recently earned a victory over Adrian Diaz at Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 6 with a second round submission win.
Here is the UFC’s official statement concerning the fighter’s recent flag by USADA:
“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Grant Dawson of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on October 18, 2017.
“USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Dawson. Under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair legal 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.”
