Bas pissed hot for two painkiller and made some contrived excuse about injuries. I guess Silva gets a pass then? Don't be a hypocrite.

I know Bas failed a drug test for painkillers in his last fight - is that what you're referring to?

Interview I did with Bas in 2007 after Royce pissed hot:
411Mania: There has been so much controversy in MMA lately over steroids and painkillers lately. You yourself had some problems with that in your last fight. What is your take on this issue, are these commissions putting out false positives or is it the pressure? Why are drugs infecting the sport so badly?
Rutten: Let me remind you I never took steroids. I had trouble with the athletic commissions due to pain killers. Those were prescribed and the way it went down was funny. I brought the bottle of pills to the fight that day and showed it to the representative from the athletic commission. He looked at the bottle and said “Whoa, you gotta get those out of here!” I told him the whole reason I was showing him that bottle was because I wanted him to know I was taking them. Then afterward, the athletic commission tried to play it up like they had to pull a needle from my chest. The problem is, I had cameras with me that day. We were filming a documentary, and I’ve got footage of myself showing him the bottle complete with audio. It proves my whole side of the story.
411Mania: Is that documentary available yet?
Rutten: Not yet, but it’ll be released soon. Anyway, talking about the steroids, I feel it’s not right at all, under any circumstances. I think that in order to deal with the problem, commissions need to start by doing blood tests, and I think they need to do them early. Why not? Take a fighter’s blood three months before the fight and ensure that he isn’t on anything. I have a shirt on my website that says “You can buy muscles, but you can’t buy cojones.” That’s the thing about MMA, you need Cojones to fight, and muscles aren’t enough to win.

Bas got popped for prescription painkillers he informed the commission he was taking.
He was coming back from a lay-off of what, seven years? And he had no cartilage in his knees (having had his surgeries done in the era when the treatment for meniscus damage was removing the whole damn meniscus. Good stuff, orthos!), which he is still f'd up by.
So, I think he gets a pass.

Take their whole purse and fine them on top of it. That's a better punishment.
Or, of course, just make them legal so everyone can be on an even playing field.

I either agree with Bas and say 100% of your money is lost if you test for PED's or I say fuck the whole thing and let them all do as many roids as they want. I'm really not sure which I agree with more honestly but it's going to need to move to one of those two extremes, that's for damn sure. As far as recreational drugs, they shouldn't even be testing for them. Who gives a single fuck if someone got baked a few weeks before their fight? Stupid motherfuckers might but for anyone with the ability to think rationally, it does not matter at all.

People making money off of it and an ex FBI director thinking everything is wrong is who gives a fuck. It has nothing to do with whats fair, its about ideals and money.

I think they should have to take steroids. I miss Pride.
