The UFC recently changed their policy with USADA flagged drug testing with athletes under contract. From now on, failed tests will only be released to the public after a full review, investigation, and resolution have taken place to protect the reputation of each athlete.

I bet someone big just popped and that's why USADA decided to implement this "new policy" right now.
Very curious to see what this means in a Jones scenario where someone fails a post or pre fight drug test, especially when a championship is involved. If this was in place after 214, Cormier's career would be in limbo similarly to Jon's just because nobody knows how the cookie's gonna crumble so nobody knows how Daniel should move forward. If Jon gets flagged, does he get stripped even though it's supposed to remain secret? Is this an exception? Does Cormier get the belt back? There are situations when this could prove problematic.
USADA have moved into the realm of fully corrupt.
Something like this should have been in place as soon as USADA came into the fold. The brass didn't think just outright flagging a fighter would have serious negative impacts? Yes if a sample is suspect then for sure tell the fighter, but don't go public until it's all said and done and they know what the situation is. If there's no flagrant violation do we need to know? Especially when it takes in a lot cases an extended time to figure out. And by that point the damage is done.

Fedor wins in round 1 by KO. I'm from the future and I have the documents.
2:40 Is Jon Doe related to Jon Jones????
USADA is just another predator.
I could understand reasoning but consider how shady both of them been performing recently just feels like another way to get what they want.
Yes sure credibility thing would be annoying for some fighters. But if found innocent its not like ufc going to stop employing them. And as long as they are success they will keep them on payroll. Haven’t done any research but haven’t heard of any fighter suffering too much because of drug test they didn’t fail.
