Can we get rid of USADA already

It's a joke of a system that just ruins fights and isn't keeping the sport clean.

Plus the way they go about doing business is stupid. "X fighter was flagged, we're not going to tell you for what and how much but we're just slandering their name before any due process."
 
Get rid of all testing and let them bang using whatever they want. Anyone with a bit of common sense knows USADA has been a corrupt mess anyways. We also missed out on TRTVitor, that alone should have been the end of it.
 
The NFL uses arbitrators? Thought Goddell was the arbitrator anytime someone tried to appeal a suspension in the NFL.

No Goodell the arbiter and theres no consistency to suspensions that's why it's a joke.

Nba, MLB and NHL all give out lighter suspensions than the UFC or NFL yet aren't questioned as much because they have mandated suspensions
 
The whole snitching thing just seems terribly vague imo. I don't have any elements to call into question the credibility of the arbitral award, but one might get the impression that it was just an excuse to reduce his sanction. But we may know more about this in the future. Who is Jones turning in? What evidence is he bringing to the table? Hopefully we'll know soon.

Obviously hes already turned them in because no ones going to fuck with him now and we will likely never know who snitched on.

Why would they ever release that? That's the kind of shit that gets people shot.
 
If they are not going to fairly punish fighters guilty of steroid use then there is no point in having the organization involved in the UFC whatsoever.
 
How can you snitch if you claim you never took steroids? How would you know anything to snitch on?
 
Right so if you've never done drugs you can never buy them? Really?

How is he going to give up suppliers and methods of cheating if he never cheated? lol Can you not see how these 2 statements directly oppose eachother?

That literally makes no sense. So if you've never smoked weed there's no way you could ever know someone who sells weed?
 
Yes get rid of it. This selective enforcement bullshit is unfair. Guys like Mendes, machida, Werdum, Mir, etc hung out to dry, 2 year non negotiable suspensions on first offense. Jones 2nd offense. SHOULD have been his 3rd but he hid under the cage for that one, but official 2nd offense for Tbol, same as Mir, which on a first offense gets 2 years minimum. Jones gets 15 months? Conveniently just in time to fight at UFC 230? In NY? Lmao. Yeah it's number 1 bullshit. Khabib is right. Get rid of it and let the juice flow.
 
In organizations that do not test for PED's, or have so called "idiot tests," which test athletes in a limited and predictable manner, it is assumed that the vast majority of fighters will be supplementing with multiple chemical enhancers.

Some fighters may buy the latest, cutting-edge designer drugs and services, but even blue collar fighters with limited economic means will have access to most classic AAS and pharmacological assistance. Anyone with half a brain will be using, and the majority will be following common cycles which have stood the test of time and deliver proven results in sport. With universal PED use, the chemical and physiological differences between athletes are minimized compared to doped fighters fighting clean fighters.

USADA UFC changed the game in a fucked up way most never saw coming - now doped fighters are allowed to fight, but only if the UFC/USADA want that fighter to compete. Sure, USADA has to spin PR stories, and Jeff Novitsky ends up occasionally working overtime researching loopholes for this special class of fighter, but now the company is able to limit their profit loss due to failed tests, and is able to reward athletes that play nicely as company men (and punish those that do not play along with their vision).

This creates a scenario where the majority of UFC fighters fight basically clean, and a small group of high value UFC commodities such as Jones and Lesnar are still allowed to dope, as long as they are worthwhile to the company's bottom-line.

Performance differences between doped vs non-doped athletes are severe, and now USADA UFC is finally able to cherry pick (within a limited margin of error) who will succeed and who will fail within their org. They will bend and ignore their own rules when it makes the most dollars and sense for them. If you use and you are on Dana's shitlist, you can say "goodbye," but if you hit pregnant women and repeatedly test positive, you will be given the next available title shot (assuming you remembered that shot for your ass). Fair play is out the window.


KSW bless?

If they like you and you bring in money and you pop for roids/peds They will always say "I don't think he took them intentionally" 6 month suspension. No proof needed. They just look into Jon Jones innocent eyes.
 
yup when certain fighters are able to get away with it and others have to play by the rules.
 
dirtier than brock lesnar's asshole after pooping out his protein shakes
 
Man Jones really did a number on Sherdog. The denial is out of control.
 
If you sell well and you're a "yes" man, Jeff will take care of you.
