Hello all,
Iv been wanting to make a thread about the 'USADA Era' as a place where everyone can have a 'one stop shop' reference point to everything since the USADA era began.
This is to include fighters who have;
I would like everyone to make their suggestions in the comments below with the following;
Chris Weidman - Walkaround Weight (15 lbs lighter) & Physical Performance (Less explosive / poor cardio)
Erik Silva - Eye test fail & Physical Performance
On the other hand...
Yoel Romero - Eye Test fail (looked physically the same in USADA era.....buuuuuuuuuut Failed Drug Test
As the USADA Era only started in July I am going to back date it to January 2015 starting with Anderson Silva and Hector Lombard as these were the straws that broke the camels back and actually forced UFC to look into employing a 3rd party tester therefore fighters were aware the changes were coming and as such this is when the change began
Therefore include anyone who has failed a 2015 drug test in the list also even if it was pre July 2015
Rules:
I will update the list above with names under each sub heading by editing this very post as the place to reference and try to do so in Alphabetical order
Only suggestions that get 10 'Likes' or agreements will be added to the edited list above
Any challenges to entries on the list will require 20 'likes' or disagreements in order to have the name or category removed as this will be required to show a unanimous disaproval not a 50/50 split
*Any suggestions on how to improve on the presentation of this data follows the same rules as for additions to the list, as this is OUR list not MINE, I am just the administrator
Hopefully if this thread is successful we can have it made into a Sticky for future 'USADA Era' references
I look forward to all your inputs
Many Thanks

Iv been wanting to make a thread about the 'USADA Era' as a place where everyone can have a 'one stop shop' reference point to everything since the USADA era began.
This is to include fighters who have;
- Changed weight class (moved up and less ripped / moved down and less muscle mass)
- Changed walkaround weigh (IE they got smaller or bigger but stayed in same division)
- Failed the eye test (looked physicaly different)
- Physical performance change (explosiveness / cardio)
- Failed a drug test
