Headline: Tyron Woodley Reveals How He Lost $10,000 Waiting On A Random USADA Drug Test
Author: Damon Martin
UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has always been proud to compete as a clean athlete, which is why he fully supports the random drug testing done by USADA.
As the enforcers of the UFC’s anti-doping policy, USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) is in charge of randomly testing fighters at any time, place or occasion without much notice before making an appearance to draw blood or urine.
Woodley has always tested clean throughout his career while remaining one of the most tested athletes on the UFC roster. He was even given an award for a consecutive streak of clean tests under the UFC’s anti-doping policy.
Unfortunately, Woodley found out just how random the testing can be earlier this year when he received a call to submit a sample while he was traveling to Atlanta to take part in the Super Bowl festivities ahead of the game between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams.
“They tested me Super Bowl weekend, the lady came to me, bless her soul, cause I said a few unchoice words to her with respect. She came to test me at 12 a.m. on Super Bowl weekend knowing the reason I was in Atlanta was probably for Super Bowl and I had some appearances that I was supposed to be at,” Woodley revealed during a media luncheon ahead of UFC 235.
“I had an event with Devonte Freeman and Meek Mill I was supposed to be at. An event with Ludacris and Snoop Dogg and I was in the hotel waiting on her to come in 45-minutes of traffic to test me. So she tested me around 1 a.m. and I missed those events.”
According to Woodley, he asked the person sent to collect his sample if there was any way this could be done in the morning so he wouldn’t miss his appearances but that was not allowed.
Woodley then revealed that the tester told him she couldn’t make it to collect his sample earlier because she had an event of her own that couldn’t be missed.
“I said I have an event I have to go to that I’m missing money because I’m supposed to be there,” Woodley said. “She said ‘well I can meet you there’, I said ‘no, you can’t get in, you can’t be on the list’.
“So I had to wait there and she tested me at 1 a.m. and I was not happy.”
Because the person collecting his sample was stuck in traffic for 45 minutes, Woodley had to wait in his hotel for over an hour until she arrived to test him.
Woodley ultimately missed his events that night and according to the reigning welterweight champion it cost him a hefty paycheck.
“[I lost] about $10,000,” Woodley revealed. “So USADA I’m not happy right now.”

Ben Askren better look out, because former UFC welterweight king Robbie Lawler is feeling like a beast again.
Lawler is tasked with welcoming former ONE and Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren to the UFC. They’ll meet at the UFC 235 pay-per-view (PPV) from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The action goes down on March 2nd. Speaking to MMAjunkie Radio recently, Lawler said that he’s feeling great ahead of his meeting with “Funky”:
“I feel damn frickin’ good right now,” Lawler said. “I don’t know when it clicked that, holy (expletive), I’m a beast again. But I am.
“But that was always the goal – just get back to work and everything will fall into place. I just believed in myself that it was going to happen at the right time. I can’t wait to show everybody how hard I’ve been working.”
Back in 2016, Lawler was on a five-fight win streak that included two successful 170-pound title defenses. However, a run-in with Tyron Woodley ended with a knockout defeat. Lawler’s title reign came to an end after the defeat, and he returned with a decision win over Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone.
In December of 2017, Lawler returned to face former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, which he lost via decision. Now, he’ll return for the first time in over a year against Askren, who is one of the more dominant grapplers in the sport.
“Ruthless” certainly has the capabilities to hand Askren the first loss of his career. Their fight is one of the most highly anticipated of the stacked UFC 235 card.
