Bisping & Le to undergo enhanced drug testing
The enhanced testing includes both urine and blood tests being administered with the full cost falling on the UFC’s shoulders.
In an interview earlier today, Michael Bisping brought up some worries about possible drug use by Cung Le leading into Saturday’s fight. Bisping didn’t outright accuse Le of abusing performance enhancing drugs, but did question his physique after a picture of yoked Le surfaced earlier this week. Apparently that was enough for Bisping to request enhanced drug testing, which the UFC complied to:
Bisping requested additional enhanced testing for his upcoming fight with Cung Le, taking place this Saturday from Macau, China. Since China has no recognized athletic commission to oversee the bout, the UFC acts as a governing body to sanction the bouts, assign referees and judges as well as conduct and enforce drug testing and penalties.
During Wednesday’s edition of UFC Tonight, Ariel Helwani reported that the UFC will comply with Bisping’s wishes and introduce enhanced testing for his fight with Le this weekend.
