Francisco Rivera is in hot water with USADA, but poised to present a compelling defense.

The UFC bantamweight was flagged by the agency for a potential anti-doping violation, the UFC announced Wednesday on its website. The statement said the potential violation is in relation to a July 23 out-of-competition sample taken from Rivera.

Rivera told MMA Fighting on Wednesday night in a statement through his Iridium Sports management group that he was told by USADA that he tested positive for clenbuterol.

Rivera, 34, said he was vacationing in Mexico just before the drug test, which is significant in this case. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) issued a warning in 2011 that said China and Mexico have a "serious problem" with meat contaminated with clenbuterol, which is clinically used in some countries to treat breathing disorders in humans. Rivera said he ate meat on multiple occasions when he was in Mexico.

Everything will be tainted from here on out. Tim Means and Romero were the pioneers of this movement.

Maybe supplements is something to be avoided. But then again, no supplements means, no excuse.

Here we fuckin go again. Let's stop with the bullshit. If you play the game and get caught, just take the punishment. This shitty excuse is getting old.

What's to stop fighters from finding out what supplements are tainted, use those same PEDS and keep a bottle of the tainted supplement on their shelf, ready for testing?

This tainted supplement excuse needs to stop working. It's bullshit. Don't take shady supplements.

Fully agreed. It has become another loophole.

And yes, there are cases in which there was no ill intent, but again this will be manipulated by those who are trying to cheat the system.

Read what I said; I have nothing against Mexican taint, it's just that Mexico has poor water hygiene and taint licking tends to occur soon after (or during) a shower.
