Chad Mendes flagged for 'potential' USADA violation

The dominoes continue to fall in the UFC's crusade for a cleaner sport.
The UFC announced Friday that two-time featherweight title contender Chad Mendes has been flagged for a "potential Anti-Doping Policy violation" stemming from an out-of-competition drug test collected by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). The UFC did not specify the nature of the banned substance found in Mendes' sample.
Mendes, 31, is currently the No. 4 ranked featherweight in the UFC's media-generated rankings.
