Not sure what the hold up is. UFC 188 test results came back quick and outed Melendez. Then again, the UFC acted as it's own comission for that card.

But hey, maybe you have what it takes to help out. The USADA is hiring for the position of UFC Operations Coordinator.

Yeah...whatever
 
They need to have a real system in place not something like we will get the results within a few months probably

It really makes the whole thing seem a little fishy, especially since it was originally rumored there was a failed test for 189 then all went completely silent
 
How much does that USADA job pay? How much more can you make off kickbacks from Zuffa?

I'd imagine its a 65-70k job with travel benefits. Nothing major. The job description doesn't leave me to believe its a heavy public relations job, which would make it closer to a 100k position.
 
Melendez failed drug test results were released a month after 188.
 
You need a degree and written communication skills. That eliminates 90% of sherdog. The rest don't pass the oral communication retirement.
 
So, we haven't heard the Boston card results or the 189 results... Something smells. And it smells like fish.

But it would put me in a position to affect the outcome of fights right? Like I could alter tests and stir the pot with false positives or by leaking information to the media?

Government job. So 30% more than the private sector equivalent, 50% less work.
I wonder if I would have to live in Nevada for this job, cause that'd be a deal breaker.

I doubt it. Federal regulations might call for a Scientist or Chemical engineer to walk that puppy under brief case and chain. I have no clue about how the fight game works though.
