Ian McCall has avoided any issues with USADA. The flyweight contender was administered two IVs of fluids at the behest of a UFC doctor after getting sick following the UFC 208 weigh-ins. Despite USADA’s ban on the use of IVs, McCall was granted a retroactive therapeutic use exemption, or TUE, by USADA due to the nature of his issues.
McCall, who was scheduled to fight Jarred Brooks on the card, but was forced out of the bout due to the illness. He told Joe Rogan afterward that he was throwing up and unable to hold down water.
