Second Chinese UFC fighter flagged for potential USADA anti-doping violation

UFC welterweight Li Jingliang has been flagged of a potential violation of USADA’s anti-doping policy. He tested positive for the clenbuterol, a controversial substance recently found in meat.

UFC welterweight Li Jingliang has been notified of a potential violation of USADA’s anti-doping policy, stemming from an out-of-competition drug test administered on May 18 ahead of his bout at The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale last month.

UFC officials announced the news in a statement on Tuesday.

Jingliang also received a temporary suspension from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) on Tuesday morning.

Jingliang tested positive for clenbuterol, a sympathomimetic amine used as a decongestant by people with breathing disorders, the NSAC revealed.
