Anderson's PED - PR strategy

lol

The whole 'deny deny deny' strategy seems pretty weak once you have been popped twice.

He would have been better off playing the sympathy card. Shed a tear or two about how awful the injury was, the psychological barriers to overcome, blah blah blah...and how he made poor choices during his recovery.

instead he is just lumped in with the rest of the cheaters...deservedly so, perhaps, but he had the opportunity to handle it better from a PR perspective and blew it, IMHO.

Agreed.

Pretty good, TS.

Anderson got good at an old age. He had a wacky late prime and popped for roids. Let him fade off into irrelevance and have him be a lesson that cheaters get what they deserve in the end.

Looks more like a Jon Jones strategy to me.

Yass.

He's burying himself.

The gif works on so many levels.

Astounding arrogance really. He's been popped twice .. before AND after his fight. He has been accused of using other drugs that he didn't declare which is also CLEARLY breaking the rules. This is Anderson Silva with his pants down... Similar to Wadnerlei, The landscape of a sport they played such a part in building changed without their say so and someone else is now in charge.

They just have no idea what to do or how to act. And will both fight again in Brazil. I guarantee it.

Watching Wanderlei's total denial of this is truly upsetting. I hope Anderson just goes home, opens a school and leaves the public to their own devices. Seeing him try to lie his way out is ridiculous. Also, to be honest, to admit it now would be almost as bad

Anderson is brazillian.

He is not going to admit to using PEDs. He might use the 'I was hurt and this is a mess' card, but admit? Slim chance, imo.
