but they take the stuff in nfl and mlb and nba. atleast there is some correlation to wanting to pound your opponents face in, and be willing to take a steroid.gooner said:I think it's fair to say that Dana White wants a scandal free sport. Only the other day he once again said the UFC and MMA will become the biggest sport in the world. Deluded as that is, he is talking up the promotion of the sport and organisation so he then has a conflict of interests regarding the PED use of it's fighters. We see McQuaid getting it in the neck but Dana White's attitude to doping is no better and in some instances probably worse. How an earth he can say the sport is the most regulated in the world when there isn't a sufficient out of competition system and no testing for EPO and HGH is beyond me. And yet we never see the MMA media call him out on it and if anything he is held up esteem and giving a free pass on all this due to the way he has built up and promoted it over the years.
Briant_Gumble said:Victor Conte tweeted yesterday that Rosi Sexton is the first MMA fighter to use them which doesn't seem to make sense as I'm sure BJ Penn has used them in the past.
Especially considering they offered to test for free .... The CIR test would wipe out half the roster most MMA fighters are too dumb to circumvent it.
It would hurt business in the short term which I think is what they are worried about, their two biggest PPV generators in history George St. Pierre and Brock Lesnar are like poster boys for androgens.
They could have had a wake up call when Lesnar almost died from diverticulitis but they chose to ignore it and things have actually got worse since then with TUE for testosterone.

BJ Penn has a weird head but I think he's clean the guy looks like he's never lifted in his life let alone used test and HGH.
George St. Pierre is really the Lance of MMA, for sure on the most sophisticated programme, there are HGH belly pics of him on the Internet where he looks absurd, six pack beer belly.
Bosco10 said:Ol' Victor is quite a character. I remember when he was taking Marion Jones to task. She was (and still is) a smiley-faced-massive-liar. His nasally voice is irritating at first, but oddly, it grows on you. Oh, and it's so weird that he was bass player for Tower of Power in a past life.

Briant_Gumble said:Agreed for stage fright or increased performance, its not just recreational for musicians.

blackcat said:i have sat next to an Australian Rules footballer, who was obviously on hgh, but when i sat next to him, he just looked lean, and no signture tell. but see the person in media, or pics or video, you have an anamorphic perspective, and it shows the features in totality. the browline, and jaw. forehead and browline obvious tells.
