I know Ed Sores didn't negotiate that! Must be William Morris Agency or something

GSP will be on the MMA Hour soon.

If you cared about the size of your body parts changing you'd be on steroids

see what i did there

Probably just to berate Silva, say "i told you so" about ped use and say he's not coming back yet.

Anderson's second out of competition test came back clean.

Silva replaced by Minotauro as TUF coach.

Sorry those back to back posts made me laugh

This thread is making me laugh... in a gong show sort of way.

For **** sakes, Rory-Lombard off, Mighty Mouse-Horiguchi draws in as the co-main of UFC 186 in Montreal.

^Because Lombard failed ufc182 test, positive for steroids

Lol this is getting ridiculous.

Very much not a surprise though.

You mean to tell me I wont look like this at 37 with just hard training and diet?

Can we just bring back Pride?

Man I knew Joey followed MMA but didnt realize he knew the game this well. I literally agree with everything he says basically. I like Chael to but do agree there were times where it was a bit much, and it sadly set a bad precedent.

hopefully Machida doesn't train with any of these dudes and accidentally drink their pee

Aside from baseball years ago, has there ever been this many people caught in such a short time? This is really getting ridiculous.

Sure. NFL Training Camp, 2017.

Actual answer is the 2007 Tour de France. Maybe the 1984 East Germans. China had 28 swimmers pop hot during the 1990s and their women's program went from rewriting the record books to uncompetitive.

My favorite story was Irish swimmer Michelle Smith, who set a couple world records despite the fact that Ireland didn't have a 50 meter Olympic-length pool on the entire island at the time. She got caught masking her urine test with ........ whiskey.

How are fighters still getting popped so easily? Testing has been ramped up for a year or two now. They should have figured things out by this point.

I disagree with a lot of what Joey says here. I think a title elimination fight is dumb, given there's really no one else left for Aldo to fight. I don't think the preferential treatment Conor gets is wrong in any way. He's one of the only stars of the UFC you can put on camera constantly that people will tune into. He's constantly working the non-fight aspect of the promotion, compared to guys like Frankie who are primarily fighters. It's not like Conor's getting that Anderson Silva money anyway. And while the UFC puts him up in some nice hotels when he's visiting for promos, he get a regular room like everyone else when he's fighting (at least it looks that way on the latest ep in his doc when he fights Poirier). The 'I can wrest my nuts on your forehead' line seemed fine to me. It wasn't unprovoked. It was a somewhat clever response to Chad questioning Conor's wrestling ability. I have no problem with that, and I'm fine with most of what Conor says when it's truthful. I don't like when he attacks guys if it's unrelated to fighting though. Like when he called Siver a nazi. I think Chael stepped over the line with comments like that way more, and I do agree with Joey that the UFC would be wise to reign that **** in. I don't think we have to worry about the UFC devolving into some WWE parody. Most guys either lack the personality to make that work, or lack the desire to turn themselves into something they're not.

how do they go about these fighters that are failing drug test after their fights, do those fights get turned into no contest or do they usually stick with whatever the fight result is?

No contest.

There is a great interview with a guy who was one of the biggest PEDs suppliers in the USA for the olympics and was JMM trainer before he ko'd Paq and looked like he added 10 pounds of lean muscle at the ripe age of 48. And helped Marion Jones etc... I'll try to dig it up.

He says everyones cheating. In the Olympics, NFL, NBA, Baseball. Says all you gotta do is change a few molecules around to make the drugs completely undetectable to current methods. Says the beating tests is so far ahead of testing it's laughable.

I mean almost everyone who's been caught in the olympics, or NFL/NBA/MLB was caught via informants. Like the FBI busts a major dealer and he gives up his player list or something similar. Other than super poor countries in the olympics.

So it seems like the only reason MMA guys are getting caught is because they're too poor to afford specialists like this guy, and good drugs.

I think a major crack down on PEDs will be terrible. MMA already has the worst injury rate in all of sports. It's only going to get a lot worse if most guys are off PEDs. And performances are going to go WAY down.

Doing BJJ, striking, wrestling, and strength and conditioning for 30+ hours a week is just not really possible without the use of PEDs.

CC, am I wrong in thinking that guys who get hurt a lot are more likely to be clean? Like Weidman, Pettis, Cain and Cruz?
