Miesha Tate sees some similarities between TJ Dillashaw and Jon Jones’ United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) cases.
Dillashaw recently tested positive for an “adverse finding” in his drug test during the time of his fight against Henry Cejudo in January. Speaking to Sirius XM Fight Nation, the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion gave her thoughts on the situation.
She offered a comparison between Dillashaw and Jon Jones, who has also had issues with the anti-doping agency in the past (via BJPenn.com):
“There was a point when it wasn’t strictly enforced, and I do believe that probably the majority of people were using,” said Tate. “It’s possible that he did it at one point in his career before it was a big no-no. And now, it’s a no-no, and maybe he’s clean, but maybe something is popping up that maybe he used a long time ago that he never got caught for.
“If it happens with Jon Jones…yes, he got busted, and now it’s reoccurring, but I think we’re actually going to see more cases. As USADA is getting down to a picogram…what is that, like 50 millionth of a gram of salt or something ridiculous like that?
“If they’re that specific, if anybody’s used anything at one point in their career, then it’s possible that these picograms are still floating around.”
Tate also said that Dillashaw cutting down to 125 pounds might have played a factor in the positive test:
“So he dropped down to 125, I mean, he cut all of his body fat,” she said. “If anything was gonna pop up that was from a long time ago…”

The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has released a statement on TJ Dillashaw’s current situation.
USADA confirmed that Dillashaw did, in fact, fail a drug test. The agency noted they were able to confirm the news since Dillashaw made the situation public first. Here’s what USADA had to say:
“In light of Mr. Dillashaw’s social media post this morning, we can fonfirm that an in-competition test conducted by USADA on January 18, 2019 resulted in an adverse analytical finding.
“In this instance, we are able to confirm the finding due to Mr. Dillashaw’s public statement. The presumption of innocence under the rules is a vital part of an effective anti-doping program and it’s only fair that Mr. Dillashaw be allowed due process before any conclusions are drawn.”
Dillashaw initially confirmed the news on Instagram this morning (Wed. March 20, 2019), along with announcing he has vacated the bantamweight title. It was later confirmed Dillashaw has received a one-year suspension, retroactive to his last fight date, by the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC). The now-former 135-pound champion was also fined $10,000.
He will be eligible to return to action on January 19, 2020. It remains to be seen what kind of sanctions USADA takes against Dillashaw.

“Having never failed any drug test throughout my career, I asked if we could go back further in the past to test any supplements that I could’ve taken, but they claimed that was both impossible and unnecessary.”
Speaking to RT.com, Mir revealed that he is considering taking legal action against USADA for the way they handled things. The entire situation eventually led to Mir requesting, and being granted, his release from the UFC. He’s now under contract with Bellator MMA:
“[I want to take action against] USADA for giving the instructions on what’s going on, and not really utilizing the test. I mean they are the scientists, they should know better what they are using, and know that a lot of the other tests that they are having, have been groomed… and have been thoroughly studied, understood, evaluated.
“But the UFC too. I have issues with them. They do things that are… you know… they use information but… for example they do dirty things like… You have an athlete under the contract, not allowed to work anywhere else. He’s suspended?
“Yeah. But he could get the ball rolling or maybe start looking for work in other areas, but no! You keep him under contract and then at the end of his suspension he gets a release letter and now he knows, yeah? So I’m not really happy about their conduct either.”
