Chris Weidman, Jorge Masvidal and Dustin Poirier recount
\nsurprise USADA testing encounters<\/h2>\n

The former UFC stars shared tales of surprise visits, missed
\ntesting windows and some very inconvenient restroom situations in
\nthe latest edition of \u201cDeep Waters.\u201d Weidman recalled one occasion
\nwhen testing agents tracked him down during a round of golf.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was golfing one time and so they had to come to the golf course
\nand they waited for me at the turn,\u201d Weidman said. \u201cI had to go
\ntake pee and blood and my boys had to wait for me to do it, because
\nonce they see you, you can\u2019t leave their eyesight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former UFC middleweight champion also recalled receiving a
\nwarning after staying at his mountain home without updating his
\nwhereabouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a call that they were at my house,\u201d Weidman said. \u201cSo, now I
\nhad to fly home. I\u2019m flying there, but I hit some traffic. The guy
\nleft and that was a warning because I didn\u2019t get tested within the
\ntwo-hour frame.\u201d<\/p>\n

In yet another incident, Weidman was caught in a difficult position
\nwhen USADA arrived unexpectedly while he was recovering from
\nsurgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I do the IV, I come back from the hospital, I\u2019m on the
\npainkillers and everything and I have the band on my arm from the
\nIV and you\u2019re not allowed to get IVs,\u201d Weidman said. \u201cIt was a
\nf*cking nightmare and I was so paranoid that I was going to get in
\ntrouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Masvidal went on to share his experience. He said testers arrived
\nshortly after a hard training session and followed him around Miami
\nwhile he waited to provide a sample.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m at Top Team; they followed me all the way to Miami,\u201d Masvidal
\nsaid. \u201cTake them everywhere with me, eating, drinking. You\u2019ve got
\nto get me before practice; don\u2019t ever come after practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poirier, meanwhile, recalled being tested while purchasing a
\nvehicle.<\/p>\n
