Jose Aldo's random urine sample discarded because NAC collector didn't have work visa

From the tales of the truly bizarre, an NAC licensed drug tester has about a week to leave Brazil due to his visa not allowing him to work in the country and test UFC 189 headliner Jose Aldo.

UFC 189 headliner and reigning featherweight champion Jose Aldo submitted a urine sample today in Brazil as ordered by the Nevada Athletic Commission, but it ended up being thrown out. So what exactly caused such a stir over standard out-of-competition testing? Was the cup mishandled? Was there a leakage in the container? Nope, the collector didn't have a work permit.
