I'm cool with it, USADA flushed out most of the cheaters and exposed the real problem in the sport...tainted supplements

I hate cheaters so no. I hate their timing but apart from that, we need them or else the Jon Joneses of this world win.

UFC should get rid of Jon Jones and Cyborg. 2 worst cheaters in the history of MMA.

At least they were honest about cheating, which cancels it out.

If the rules are going to exist then you need the best possible means of enforcing it. I would rather PEDs be allowed across the board but since that's not going to happen, USADA should stay.

Chael claims his last failed drugs test was for medication he was using to get off TRT. While that may explain his positive test for hCG, it doesn't quite hold weight considering he also tested positive for HGH and EPO. Few people in the sport, if any, have been caught cheating on the scale Chael was.

Way After the fact honesty tastes kinda stale don’tcha think? Still waiting for Vitor to come clean myself. The HW version was part of the Cyborg/ Wandy/ Gabby science experiment me thinks ? He would’ve smashed TrT Vitor and I was a big fan, but I’d prefer my MMA clean so until they bring back Pride or actually make a league where anything goes, Keep them random tests a coming. Now about all the tainted supplements out there....

Two wrongs don't make a right, but a right cancels out out a wrong, even if the right is tainted it still qualifies.

Because fighters were caught by the balls and it’s effecting our bank accounts. if they get rid USADA it will let juice heads go unpunished against fighters who are clean from the start.

I take anything Schaub says with a grain of salt. Now is the chance that this is being legit discussed probly true? I guess. But i wouldnt think too much of it. Schaub will hear
rumors
of a fight being put together, then go on a podcast proclaiming it to be a done deal before pen even sniffs paper.
When it comes to the topic at hand? I think USADA should stay. I think we can all figure out some of the reasons why the UFC would want to cut ties with USADA (mostly financial). But id rather they keep it. Its just not fair to the fighters who are going out there clean. That time in the annals of MMA/UFC history is
history
for a reason. And thats how it should stay imo. A thing of the past. Fighters need to be held accountable for what they put in their bodies. Dont wanna hear any "Tainted Supplement" BS when it comes to justification. Be mad at your fighters UFC. Not USADA. Dont spoil the cheaters and give them a way out just so you can fatten up your pockets... ... huh... I just remembered Jon Jones fights next week

Yes but fights go ahead as advertised, see this from WME's viewpoint

Barnett just got screwed by USADA, lost a year of his career in the process.

Jones took a suppliment that was tainted and was suspended, why shouldn't Barnett suffer the same penalty? Especially since it was his fourth PED test failure. The position of USADA, as well as various SACs, has been that fighters are ultimately responsible for what they ingest.
