Just when you thought there could not be a bigger story in combat sports during the fight week of Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor<\/a>, Jon Jones was flagged by USADA. The news broke on Tuesday as Jones was flagged for a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation<\/a> after beating Daniel Cormier to win the UFC light heavyweight championship title<\/a> at UFC 214. Jones’ potential violation is stemmed from an in-competition sample collected following his weigh-in on July 28.<\/p>\n

USADA has also been testing Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor for their multi-million dollar boxing match<\/a> and have been testing them both extensively to try and catch any fighter trying to take an illegal advantage.<\/p>\n

The UFC Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance, Jeff Novitzy, told The Mirror<\/a> that Mayweather and McGregor have been tested more than any other athlete in the world in the time leading up to their fight.<\/p>\n

“Since July 1, they’ve each had 13 samples tested,” said Novitzy.<\/p>\n

“They are without a doubt the most tested athletes on the planet in the last month and a half.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure with the high-profile nature of the fight, each test will be expedited as quickly as possible.”<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White said that with McGregor already being a part of USADA’s testing pool being an active fighter in the UFC, Mayweather had no issue jumping into the program.<\/p>\n

“Conor was already in the program with the UFC and Floyd didn’t even flinch when I said I wanted him to get tested, he jumped in straight in,” said White.<\/p>\n
