What irritated me was that he took drostanolone (masteron) and this is what he said about it:
“I’ll let people hate on me for whatever reason,” Ortega told MMAjunkie. “For me it was something, I admitted – or, I publicly talked about it and said, ‘Yes, I did take something.’ I’ve never took nothing else like injectables or anything like that. It was an oral thing to make you cut weight. It’s almost Hydroxycut in a way. Or like fen-phen – remember that? I took that in order to help my weight cut, which every fighter hates weight-cutting. But I never excused no matter what it is that I took. I took full responsibility for what is it, what I did, and I did my punishment. I paid my time, and I continue with my life as anyone else does.”
So lets fact check that statement. First of all, masteron is injectable only. To my knowledge no oral form of it exists, and it cannot be absorbed orally. Second lie, it is nothing like hydroxy cut. Masteron is very much a steroid. Not a diuretic. Lie number 3, He didn't take responsibility for it. At all. He lied. Blatantly. He tried to say it was like hydroxycut.
TLDR: Brian Ortega is a lying POS.
EDIT:
People in the later pages of this thread quoted me and brought up superdrol, while superdrol is in the same drug family as drostanolone, superdrol has been methylated, which makes it orally bioavaliable (compared to drostanolone which is not). Thus superdrol is a chemically different drug than drostanolone, has different anabolic ratings, side effects etc. It would also show up as a separate drug in any competent drug screening. I do not believe in crucifying people without evidence though, and I am also not a chemist. If someone can/cares to find proof that methylated drostanolone still shows up as regular drostanolone in a drug screen, I'd be more than happy to edit my original rant.
