Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is getting some heat as of late for “failing” his latest UFC drug test, even if the failure is only a technicality.
Cerrone, who primarily lives out of an RV, reportedly traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada on a “whim,” and as a result, when the drug testers showed up to his home, he was nowhere to be found.
The consequences? The test will be recorded as a failed test. In the new testing, three “whereabouts failures” count as a Anti-Doping Rule Violation.
Cerrone spoke about the issue with TUF veteran Tait Fletcher (transcribed via BloodyElbow.com):
“In the new testing, you have to tell them your whereabouts. Fuck, I don’t know where I’m going to be. They show up to my house and are like ‘where are you this weekend?’ It was on the weekend that I went to Vegas on a whim. They were like ‘where are you?’ and I was like ‘I’m in Vegas’. And they were like ‘we’re at your house’. And I was like ‘well that sucks.’ So I failed. I failed my drug test.”
