Cerrone made an impromptu trip to Las Vegas which he didn't disclose to USADA sample-collectors who showed up at his door in Colorado.
"In the new testing, you have to tell them [USADA] your whereabouts," Cerrone said on Pirate Radio with Tait Fletcher. "Fuck, I don't know where I'm going to be. We took off and went to Denver to go duck-hunting and go to the Bronco game. No! I was in Vegas. It was the weekend before and 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 got a fail on my drug test."
While it doesn't quite qualify as a failed drug test, it is considered a "whereabouts failure" which won't affect Cerrone's upcoming title fight against Rafael dos Anjos in December but it is not looked fondly upon by the powers that be and USADA's website points out that "any combination of three whereabouts failures (filing failures and/or missed tests), declared by USADA, WADA or an IF, within an 12 month period = Anti-Doping Rule Violation."
If we were Donald Cerrone, we'd start being a little more thorough with our whereabouts information.
