Dustin Poirier USADA

[YewJan]

It has been mentioned that the new USADA policy is to not announce a possible substance violation but simply pull you from the fight. Fighters like Sean O’Malley have been open in disclosing that he has been flagged but this is no long er mandatorily to avoid situations such as the Josh Barnett one.

Could Dustin of been flagged and pulled from the fight by USADA, and given injury as an excuse while he fights the case behind closed doors?


Be gentle.

 

[Sweater of AV]

And so it begins.

 

[Mga223]

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Maybe the ufc gave him cash to pull out because they didn't want Diaz to lose and knew Conor was going to be raped.

Need that trilogy

 

[WHITE ANDERSON]

i would rather it be USADA than scared dustin

 

[KantoTerror]

I don't know what your angle is....I think USADA will disclose any reason if a fighter indeed violated rules. You can't pull out of a fight with an injury excuse if you're not injured....

 

[AWilder]

Possible,but everyone said injury. Not sure how they plan to announce cancellations for USADA investigations.

 

[Franklin U.]

Some people were throwing around some crazy rumor that Jones snitched on Diamond because of his Louisiana ties with D.Cormier. I mean, this is just getting crazy.

If there something more of a valid nature to it then that's a different animal but that's all that I heard.

 

[Rittsy]

Maybe. But it could also be a hip injury.

 

[Raknesh]

Dustin has too much honor to be lying to the public and his fans.

Especially when "tainted supplement" is an easy, go-to excuse.

 

[MMA_enthusiast]

bro the guy just said he had lingering injuries with his hip and probably aggravated it

 

[Toco]

he said it was an injury

 

[Arrrrgh]

It's one thing to not say anything. It's another to make up an injury. I think he actually is just injured.

And that policy is stupid for exactly this reason, threads like this.
Just announce it if a guy pops on both samples. Do an investigation, check his supplements, whatever, but announce it.

 

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

He specifically said it's a hip injury, that he's getting stem cell treatment and that he'll be good to go before the end of the year.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

USADA should just go away.

 

[Jackonfire]

He said he has a hip injury. He's getting a second opinion tomorrow and the hope is it can be treated with injections and stem cells.

Be gentle.

He already said it was a hip injury

 

[YewJan]

He already said it was a hip injury

Right but he can give whatever excuse he likes can’t he

[podsox]

This is going to happen every time a fighter pulls out of a fight now
