Why do people want to believe that Jones & Silva are innocent so badly?

[TheLastEmperorReurns]

Evidence against Jones

1. Immediately starts getting popped after USADA moves in
2. Multiple fighters testify that he hid under random drug testing
3. An excuse for failing first drug test is dick pills... after it became publically known that dick pills can cause drug test failure (Anderson Silva)
4. Video evidence of blatant and frequent in-ring cheating
5. Accounts of using PEDs in front of other fighters
6. Pops hot for drugs that other fighters from his gym popped hot for

Again, what are the odds that in a sport where a significant number of athletes dope, a guy with so much evidence against him is innocent?

Evidence against Silva

1. Immediately starts getting popped after USADA moves in
2. Fails 2 drug tests (what's the minimum failures needed to convince you guys? Is Josh Barnett innocent in all his cases too?)
3. Photograph with needles associated with steroids in his house
4. The first excuse for failing a drug test was dick pills

You people are fucking ridiculous

[youllneverwalkalone]

Because they are beloved characters. That doesn't mean they are innocent.

He's handsome , I know.

Bullshit that it stretches the pic in the av hmmm

 

[Fossor]

You did not explain why can't you use PEDs and be innocent at same time though.

 

[yekmurat]

Everybody knows they re juiced dont act like the smartass

 

[Perrichet]

Because they have super nuthuggers

People have hero's and they want to believe their hero's are perfect.

There are still Lance fans who are convinced he didnt cheat even after his confessions.

Its like telling kids the tooth fairy and father christmas arent real




when it comes to sherdoggers, there are also people who spent so long defending Jones and Silva against allegations that they refuse to back down and admit they were wrong, so they come up with all sorts of ridiculous shit to try and save face..

 

[Erratic]

Just blind Nuthangers dangling off of Jones sack.

Jones is about as clean as a used gas station toilet after a fresh rally of truckers passed by.

I became a fan of Jon Jones after he popped, and after the brawl with Daniel Cormier. So I certainly am not hoping that he’s innocent.

Some people are very gullible, and I don’t mean that in a derogatory sense, but I know several people who just tend to naturally believe what people say, like “Im innocent” and who really have to see something occur with their own eyes to believe it, otherwise it didn’t happen. These type of people make terrible jurors because they don’t believe in circumstantial evidence. It’s exactky the reason why Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murdering her daughter.

 

[Gamer007]

It's not about wanting to believe necessarily. It's more about not wanting to have their legacies damaged by people who are using or have used ped's in the past. for everyone that gets caught, there are plenty who are getting through this pathetic azz system. We are all one positive test from having our view of the MMA landscape changed in a moments notice these days, older fans know what's up. We sh!t on one or two guys but there are countless "Legends" who were roided to the gills that we revere to this day.

USADA let them bang bro

 

[MMA since 1993]

In Anderson's (somewhat) defense, he did fight around 8 dudes that also tested positive. So the playing field was sort of even.

Jones, not so much. But damn if it that dude isn't a hell of a fighter.

 

[TestosterOWN]

It's the same as people reading bodybuilding mags and believing protein and creatine will turn you into some 240lb jacked monster.

They want to believe some guy can just train and be a killer and not doing any sort of PED. Newsflash, they all do it. They all do it to fight off injuries and to have an edge.

If there was no PED use in MMA you would see guys dropping from injuries non stop.

 

[Erratic]

You did not explain why can't you use PEDs and be innocent at same time though.

It is not like USADA literally has APPS and instant on the spot contact info to verify each and every product you take before you take it to quite literally never pop or fail a test (straight out of the Golden Snitch's mouth) but who needs that right..

Good threa. This baffles the shit out of me too.

 

[Shadowthrone]

Why are steroids bad for mma again? They should be required. Level playing field argument is all you have and its weak. If everyone is freely on gear then it's level.
