What is SARMS????? 
Any ideas?
I do find it really hard to believe that Nate would knowingly take any kind of performance enhancer.  But who knows? After reading up on some of these USADA cases, a lot if the time guys are getting flagged for strange substances that are pretty obviously not taken on purpose or for any kind of performance enhancing effect.
USADA seems to cause way more problems than they prevent. Maybe the testing system should be less stringent? I don't know the answer but I think something has to change

Im so happy Nate is still fighting because rumors were Masvidal would fight Edwards and Edwards sucks to watch as he throw no output and couldn't finish even if he was banging 90s Cindy Crawford with Jon Jones Cialis

Nate fighting at UFC 244 or what?? From what I understand it's not a done deal ... but he isn't officially suspended either. USADA publicity stunt !?

I thought that if USADA sent you notice of a positive test, you were automatically off the card.

And yet, when I write about UFC has a one-hand-washes-the-other type deal with USADA, I get downvoted into oblivion.

If VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency) had done this test, Diaz wouldn't have been let off the hook.
