Great meeting last week in Wash DC with Director Sara Carter of the Office of National Drug Control Policy to discuss the evolution of anti-doping in global sport. The UFC looks forward to working closely with Director Carter and ONDCP across multiple fronts in the months ahead.
@Home_of_Fight UFC did NOT provide Derrick Lewis with peptides. Peptides are prohibited at all times under UFC and athletic commissions’ rules. Derrick is referring to injectable compounds that are 3rd party tested and certified as ALLOWED AT ALL TIMES by https://t.co/ogprOsBA7H
Spoke with @JeffNovitzkyUFC briefly, who also expressed his frustration with USADA's decision to test Paulo Costa on the morning of weigh-ins.
He said he has already been in talks with USADA officials to work on a solution moving forward.
Looked as though Dana White just pulled Paulo Costa aside at the ceremonial weigh-in to perhaps acknowledge that he, too, thought the early-morning, mid-weight-cut visit from USADA today was outta bounds. #UFC278
