USADA Drug Results Time & Date, & Location

Halfway-asking, halfway-raising a point. To my knowledge, only the number of times tested and quarterly-approximation is given when searching a fighter who has been tested.

USADA needs to include time and date, and location of testing being performed on their website. This has been something bothering me since seeing Sage being tested at 6 AM. Something which he publicly disclosed on his Instagram.

6 AM might be the most useless testing time possible; with the one exception of catching them pre-piss. Most substances you could micro-dose on, or even taking regular doses of, are going to be flushed from your system by morning. Further, USADA is failing to show a trend of accurate randomized testing for fighters by not disclosing this data to us [the general public].

You could test Fighter B. Oxer at 6 AM for 6 months, and that will show up on the website as 6 tests. You could also test another fighter such as K. Mura, at randomized times during the day, at multiple locations, and this would also show up as six tests; however it's fairly obvious that by randomizing time and by extension location, the testing of the second fighter can be seen as more stringent.

TLDR; Show us the data USADA.

Opinions/Thoughts?
