I'd like to make a list of every violation that USADA has made since it started. Information will include the fighter, whether or not the banned substance has been disclosed, the start of the suspension, & the term of the suspension. This is mainly to keep an update on the violations that have happened & I would like to keep it updated as more come.

My research consisted of me Kenny Florianing articles on USADA. If I missed someone, let me know. If you have an answer for my question marks, let me know. If there is better information that I can put in this list, let me know. I put this list up because I have not seen any threads on Sherdog that has a list of all the violations given out by USADA. If someone can make a better & more informative list than mine, all the power to you.
*Edit - So I guess BJ told USADA about himself getting an IV previously and he was unaware it was banned the entire year. After his full cooperation with USADA, his sentence was reduced to 6 months. Seems USADA is lenient if you tell them what you took beforehand...
