TUF 25 winner Jesse Taylor hit potential anti-doping policy violation
Jesse Taylor may have had his chance at redemption during season 25 of the Ultimate Fighter, but today the eventual tournament winner hit yet another brick wall.
UFC statement below
“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Jesse Taylor of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on August 22, 2017. Because of the proximity to Taylor’s upcoming scheduled bout in Sydney, Australia on November 18, 2017, against Belal Muhammad, Taylor has been removed from the card and the UFC is currently seeking a replacement.
USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Taylor. Under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair legal process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.”
Taylor won TUF 25 in July with a win over Dhiego Lima win over Dhiego Lima.
