Cung Le calls out UFC for 2014 drug-test issue: They threw me under the bus

UFC veteran Cung Le ended his MMA career on a sour note. Not only did he badly lose to Michael Bisping in what would turn out to be his final fight, his legacy was also marred when he tested positive for Human Growth Hormone (HGH) afterward.

With the absence of an MMA regulating body in Macau, China, the UFC was forced to take matters into their own hands for the August 2014 event. That involved handling the drug testing procedures for competing fighters.

The UFC apparently took Le’s test right after his four-round slugfest with “The Count,” and as he argues, his HGH levels were naturally higher.
