TUF winner tests positive following USADA exam -- but won't be suspended from UFC

In case you needed another reason to avoid eating dog meat while dining in China...

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bantamweight Ning Guangyou, who blasted his way into the world's largest mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion by way of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): "China," tested positive for the anabolic agent clenbuterol during an out-of-competition exam administered by United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) back in May.

But he's not at fault, according to the official statement from USADA.org:

Consistent with numerous prior reported cases globally, the issue of illicit administration of clenbuterol to animals destined for food production can result in, under specific conditions, a positive sample from an athlete.
