“I think that USADA made the cheaters jump from taking Testosterone to Human Growth Hormone. You know, exactly how Lance Armstrong cheated for all of those years… That is what is happening now.”

“USADA told me that they have a test to catch HGH users but I haven’t seen anyone getting busted and everyone’s stomachs are getting bigger. I see it all the time. Fighters shoulders are getting smaller and their stomachs are getting bigger because they are jumping off testosterone and taking HGH.”


“Yea, (Jeff) Novitzky told me they have a test for Human Growth Hormone that lasts for two weeks. But then why is no one ever getting busted and their stomachs are growing?”

“It’s kind of like IV’s. I have never seen one fighter get busted for taking an IV twenty-four hours out of their fight. The only fighter who ever got busted for an IV was me, this after I disclosed that I had taken a glutathione IV following a visit with a concussion and brain injury specialist. They (USADA) tried to show that they had teeth by reprimanding a fighter who always speaks out about PED’s. Since that day, I have never seen anyone else get ‘caught’ for taking an IV. From my understanding, the only test that USADA uses for IV’s is looking for puncture holes on a fighter. Maybe they don’t realize that a massive weight gain after a weigh in is performance enhancing. When in reality, IV’s can be a huge advantage in the fight game. We aren’t talking about 150-pound men riding a bike.”

His suspension was pretty bullshit if what he's saying is true. Out of competition, for a substance that wasn't even banned, that he got at an appointment with a concussion specialist.
 
Honestly he's probably correct. No one has been busted for HGH the only one that did was Cro Cop and his test came back negative. After he admitted to doing it. So it just goes to prove that this drug testing is a joke. Just let them fight Pride Style.
 
HGH I thought was really hard to catch? I don't hear anyone, NFL, boxing, MMA, etc that has even been busted. I think they say they have a test but it's probably a low sensitivity or just plan doesn't work.

Technically he's supposed to let USADA know about IV use if it's more than 30 mls of solution (maybe 50 mls), which is a minuscule amount btw. The thing was he didn't know about the IV rule as he was retired when USADA banned IV therapy

BJ was a legend no doubt
but he just needs to go away

Sherdogger can spout an opinion but 2x champ cant...
 
He's probably right. Seems like the HGH test that they are using is not particularly good/people have figured out how to cheat it.
 
HgH have been a part of the sport since the beginning
 
The fighters have always, and will always jump to the next new drug that is hard to test for, or not tested for. The martial arts part of mixed martial arts is out the fuckin window.
