According to USADA, the first round of testing, which took three months, has “primarily focused on ensuring UFC athletes have received the necessary education to understand their rights and responsibilities under the new anti-doping program.” While testing both in and out-of-competition did occur, USADA says an education initiative – “including prohibited substances and methods, whereabouts requirements, the sample collection process, dietary supplement awareness, therapeutic use exemption rules, as well as the general rules and guidelines of competing clean” – was a concurrent priority.
USADA has posted the results of the first wave of tests, which is available for the public to see and use. The information is arranged by search criteria sorted by names, year, quarter and more.
According to the test results website, USADA has conducted 81 tests of 50 UFC fighters to date. UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has been screened the most with five tests. Thiago Alves, Bethe Correia and Antonio Silva have been tested four times. Anthony Johnson and Jimi Manuwa were tested three times.
