UFC fighters voice displeasure over USADA whereabouts app that 'doesn't work'

Tomorrow is an important day for UFC fighters under the new USADA drug testing program. By Wednesday, everyone on the roster has to submit a form to update USADA on their whereabouts at all times due to the new out-of-competition testing rules. Fighters can be subject to random drug tests on any given day 24/7/365 (or 366 next year). Inaccurate info on a whereabouts form -- in other words, you aren't where you say you are -- would result in a failure. Three failures would be the equivalent of a failed drug test, which means a suspension.

This is obviously a very important part of the new policy for everyone involved, and USADA's Twitter account made the last reminder to UFC athletes to get their filings in today.

Reminder for @ufc athletes: whereabouts must be filed online first. http://t.co/EuOjOGE69d App for updating will be available after Oct. 1.

Unfortunately, several UFC fighters are having a few problems. Court McGee and Tim Kennedy flat out said it didn't work, while Rory MacDonald called it "the most annoying thing in the world." Max Holloway concurred with Rory's sentiments.

The convenient @usantidoping app doesn't work.

The USADA app doesn't work for UFC fighters... Awesome (as I'm sitting here in Berlin). Good thing our whereabouts is required tomorrow.

UPDATE. The mobile platform of the USADA website also doesn't work (I'm out of the country and my "employer" doesn't know).

Hopefully their problems are resolved soon. On the plus side, fellow UFC fighters Johnny Case and Patrick Cummins signed up earlier this week without issue.
