Khabib mistakenly accuses Cowboy of failing 2007 PED test
Khabib Nurmagomedov: “2007 wec @Cowboycerrone he got caught cheating steroids please @ufc @danawhite @lorenzofertitta Random drug test both of us.”
English is only UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov’s third language, but the fighter is doing a fine job trash talking Donald “Coyboy” Cerrone with it via social networks. The pair fight on May 23, 2015 at UFC 187 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The winner expected to receive a title shot vs. UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael Dos Anjos.
In his latest dart, Nurmagomedov asked the UFC to subject both he and Cerrone to random, out-of-competition testing for performance enhancing drugs.

Cerrone did not in fact test positive for steroids as Nurmagomedov alleged.
On September 5, 2007, Cerrone made his WEC debut, beating Kenneth Alexander in under a minute via Triangle choke. However, he tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide, and the win was changed to a No Contest.
Hydrochlorothiazide is listed on WADA’s prohibited list as a diuretic and asking agent. It is the diuretic most commonly detected by WADA.
Cerrone responded positively to the call for more testing.
Cowboy Cerrone @Cowboycerrone
Yes @ufc please drug test me! You’ll fine 100% true American hard work. And going out on a limb here but more then likely Budweiser
There is no word yet from the Nevada State Athletic Commission as to whether the pair will be subjected to random, comprehensive, out-of-competition testing. All elite MMA fighters should be at some points.
