Isn't Will Brooks getting the same USADA Exemption as Brock?

A lot of people cry about Brock not doing the 4 months of pre testing. But neither is Will Brooks right?
 
they will prob just wait the appropriate time to let will fight based on USADA - no one cares enough to watch him fight sooner - but maybe not
 
Pretty sure this exact same thread has already been made. Possibly more than once.
 
Except it's not an "exception" for new fighters. They're just choosing to apply the new fighter rule to Brock, even though he was already in the UFC at one point and his return completely violates the USADA agreement that returning fighters need to undergo mandatory random drug testing before being cleared to fight.

That's the controversy, not that he hasn't been tested. They can bring in a new fighter at any time for a short-notice replacement (i.e. Joe Soto vs Killashaw or Pat Cummins vs DC) without the screening. It's retired fighters who need the extra testing so they don't "retire" and use PEDs for 6 months and avoid drug testing and then cycle off and come back.
 
why would he be exempt? he's been fighting and getting tested the whole time no?

Multiple post on the same thing are the norm around here. Not really a big deal, just don't click on multiples of the same thread. Or just keep complaining about it in the hopes it will make a change ಠ_ಠ

It wasn't a complaint.
 
Please don't quote me again, also. Never even heard of you.

They've already explained that the retired fighter thing is meant to apply to fighters who retire while the UFC is undergoing USADA testing. Brock retired 5 years ago. It's fine. Complain to complain.
