I think the latest before this was BJ Penn for the IV, and Mir for PEDs, but my memory may be faulty

I must say I'm shocked, SHOCKED!... that @psychicdeath's memory may be failing at his advanced age :P

Not that surprised about Mendes though.

A lot of ******** positive testings though lately. Lyoto Machida for DHEA which wasn't banned several months ago and isn't banned under WADA unless I am mistaken. Yoel Romero legitimately got off the hook because they banned him for what seems to be a small amount of debris that often gets into supplements and proteins from factories that produce several fitness products. BJ Penn getting banned for an IV unrelated to his fight. Then USADA drops the testing policy for Brock because the UFC wants them to.

To me, I've said for years random blood testing year round while under contract is the only way to go if you're going to bother testing. If you are under contract, you can get tested...Doesn't matter if you have a fight lined up or have been out due to injury for a year. If Chad has small traces of some sort of fringe PED that is in some workout powders and he gets banned for 2 years on a mistaken, that's just a bit crazy to me. If he tested for Dianabol or EPO then sure.

True it is, that why Aldo got knocked the **** out, then a video got leaked  in which both Rogan and UFC executives both implied/stated his body morphed and he clearly looked off the juice. I would not gloat until Aldo wins aanother fight because frankly him and Barao have looked like completely different humans since USADA popped up. I fully believe  Frankie is going to beat the every living **** out of USADA aldo. I just hope he the under dog so i can bet the ******* house on him.

@Franklin  Pump the breaks captain conspiracy theory.  First of all, Aldo fought only 13 seconds under Post USADA until he was KOed on a counter right by McGregor.  Let's wait until he fights Edgar before we jump to conclusions.  Second of all, Barao has only had two fights post USADA against two tough opponents.  One being TJ Dillashaw at 135 for the Bantamweight strap, the other being a tough scrap between him and Jeremy Stephens in his 145 debut.  Thirdly, who gives a **** what the UFC brass has to say?  They just recently tried to strip Helwani of his press privileges for not being their personal mouthpiece.  Their words carry little to no validity as far as I am concerned.

This looks like it hasn't been updated with the Mendes one yet, but is pretty comprehensive otherwise
