It's always the clean guys who come out with the scoop on the dirty fighters who talk about it like it's okay. They just prefer not to take it wink wink nudge nudge.
I like the Polish Experiment but s**t like this makes me sick.
I mean seriously...I hope to God he's way off on the numbers, but if he isn't and 95% of the top guys are on some sort of PED, then he'd be a complete idiot not to be on the s**t himself. these numbers are pure bullpoop. If they aren't, he's a very unpopular fighter amongst his peers today.

I would have loved to seen what you said about Conseco and then after it came out that ALL OF IT WAS TRUE.

I feel comparing PED's in MLB/MMA is apples/oranges. The UFC has had some form of testing since what...2000? and more often than not fighters are clean when they need to be. In MLB, I don't think anything was enforced until 2006 (and that's only when it became huge in the media they started enforcing stuff because the integrity of the game/records had been compromised) so players used this to their advantage and were probably stupid not too. So while MLB didn't really enforce anything and then now people look back and say, hey he must have been on roids with little to no proof, at least the UFC can go back and say...sorry these guys were clean at the time of testing. I'm not saying the claim isn't true or whatever...it would be interesting to see if they did put in random testing what would happen, I just don't think this has the same type of power that Canseco had when he came out because he could have said Manager's were on it and people would believe it because there really was no proof. Here the UFC has past proof that this probably isn't true (from a PR standpoint). Just my take on it.

Quite the same, how long has mma been around, and they didnt impliment a drug test immediatly either. Its just now being talked about and all the athletes that have reaped benifit from being on the PEDS as well as the UFC from gaining from there Success. Im almost positive that GSP is on them somehow somehow, also some of the baseball players were using peds that were just coming around and being discovered. Baseball has seemingly fixed there problem, but now there are tons of ways to mask or get around a drug test and there are alot more available ways to pass a piss test.
The overall outcome for both sports and athletes has had the same outcome, different outlook or effect but generally the same. Fans dont like it, players do it, and the companys and wallets of both seemingly increased till the media draws out a target to harrass.
