    The UFC organization was made aware today by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, that Lyoto Machida declared the usage of a banned substance during an out-of-competition sample collection last week. Machida stated that he was unaware that the substance was prohibited both in and out of competition and, in accordance with the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, his disclosure of usage will be taken into consideration by USADA during any potential results management and adjudication process.

    Given this information, UFC officials have elected to remove Machida from his scheduled bout against Dan Henderson this Saturday in Tampa, Fla. Henderson will be re-booked for a new bout in the near future.

    Gegard Mousasi accused him of doping not long ago. Mosuasi and Rockhold both accused him of greasing.

    The substance is 7-KETO which contains DHEA (andro), an anabolic. Machida's camp claims they didn't know it was banned since it was only put on the list this year. Thing is, WADA has banned DHEA since 2005. A little murky on the details right now but Machida disclosing it ahead of time might mean a) honest mistake or b) better to get out ahead of the thing.

    So it seems he filled out a form on which he declared he had taken 7-Keto but also took the OOC urine test. So the urinalysis will be important. If he is hot for anything else or for high levels of andro or the like it's possible he's not telling the whole truth.

    Also, how the fuck is a week prior to fighting out of competition?
