More breaking news from USADA tonight as Chad Mendes has been cited for a potential performance enhancing drug violation. The potential failure happened during an out of competition test with the substance, as of yet, not released.

Team Alpha male’s Mendes is 17-4 in his MMA career with his only losses coming to Conor McGregor, Frankie Edgar and Jose Aldo (twice). He is 1-3 in his last 4, having last fought Frankie Edgar in December.

The UFC statement reads as follows

“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Chad Mendes of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collection.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case. It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair review 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.”,
