“Simply to be clear. Usada gave me a whereabouts infraction as a result of I didn’t replace my location. Stating I’ve 2 whereabouts infractions and 1 extra might lead to a 2 yr suspension. They used to have gps monitoring, possibly get again the system that labored for fighters!”

It must be famous that the USADA coverage in terms of  ‘whereabouts’ is as follows:

“An necessary a part of the UFC Anti-Doping Program is the power to check athletes with none superior discover in an out-of-competition setting. Athletes are topic to testing twelve months a yr and don’t have “off-seasons” or cutoff intervals by which testing doesn’t happen. Whereabouts info (dates, occasions, places and so on.) is info submitted to USADA by an athlete that enables the athlete to be positioned for out-of-competition testing.”

“Any mixture of three Whereabouts Failures inside a rolling 12 month interval = Anti-Doping Coverage Violation.”

Derek Brunson is clearly believing there needs to be a greater method for USADA to maintain tabs on their fighters and doesn’t really feel he must be punished for not updating his location. Though with 2 strikes now underneath his belt, he could wish to do a greater job of letting USADA know the place he’s, ’trigger it’s 3 strikes =  a 2 yr suspension.
