Drug tests for UFC 190 come back clean

Every fighter who was drug tested following UFC 190 passed their screening, the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) announced Wednesday.

Blood and urine tests were conducted on a number of the 26 participants on the card, but the CABMMA did not disclose which combatants were subject to testing.

The CABMMA described the process in the following statement, released to MMAjunkie.com:

The athletes were subject to a comprehensive testing program that consisted of both blood and urine collections. All results came back negative.

The urine and blood samples were collected by a team of Doping Control Officers (DCO), all of whom are certified in accordance with the WADA International Standards, and sent to WADA-accredited laboratories for analysis.

All sample collections were conducted by personnel from CABMMA or the Brazilian Authority for Doping Control (ABCD), with representatives from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) present during the sample collection process as well.

CABMMA has adopted the UFC Anti-Doping Policy which will guide all CABMMA testing at sanctioned bouts.

Headlined by UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey's 34-second shellacking of Bethe Correia, UFC 190 took place on Aug. 1 at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
