Morales was tested three times by USADA [United States Anti-Doping Agency]. Morales' A and the B samples resulting from the October 3 and October 10 drug tests came up positive for clenbuterol, a banned substance used by some athletes to cut weight. The fighters took another drug test on Wednesday, and Morales' third test had no traces of clenbuterol. Morales claimed that he ate contaminated meat in Mexico.
The news of all of this broke the day before the fight, and it seemed to come as a surprise to Garcia. I'm wondering how long GBP knew about it, and whether or not they kept it secret for as long as possible so that it'd be too late to get a replacement.
There have been claims before about USADA possibly favouring GBP. Could be BS but this whole situation doesn't seem quite right.
