Media Conor ( The Brock Exemption ) vs USADA ( MEGA)

[KungFuCow]

That was always obvious lol. People really think Conor is going to be in the testing pool for 6 months? He'll get an exemption just like many others. Conor knows his leverage, he's going to use it. USADA can't do anything about it because it's part of the policy for UFC to waive it at any time for any fighter they choose. Plus USADA is on UFC's payroll anyways. They help make USADA's policies in regards to UFC. That's why it's always changing throughout the years like information doesn't have to be made public anymore.

Who are the "many others" you talk about? Brock?

The UFC got sued because of that and yes, they did win the lawsuit but it probably cost them a good amount of money to do so. Is it worth it again?

 

[richardjohnson]

Of course they'll make an exception for him, USADA pretty much admitted so in that statement they put out about it

 

[suffersystem]

No USADA never said he can't get an exemption lol. Re-read the wording. "Which we do not think would be applicable." They worded it that way for a reason. It allows them to be wrong. That's just a PR statement since everyone knows Conor hasn't been tested for like 2 years and news/media/fighters started putting a lot of attention on it. UFC has an exemption policy that they can use any time for any fighter. USADA just trying to save face like what they did with Hooker recently saying they only tested him twice, but didn't mention anything about how many samples they gathered from him. So it's selected facts and statements worded with the words "think" that they use just for PR and to paint a narrative.

Conor is getting the exemption. If people think he isn't they are a bit slow lol.

Cool story bruh, guess we will find out soon enough

 

[Joinho10]

the fact this shit gets edited out shows how deeply wretched and legitimately evil the people involved are.
Fuck all of them

Yeah also very disappointed at Ariel Helwani. He talks a lot about how dirty the business of MMA is and that he will always take the moral high ground. Guess not when Conor comes with an interview.

Do you blame him though? I mean, he gets an in studio interview with his biggest guest. His manager probably asked Ariel after the fact to edit it out. In his place, you're probably editing it out too.

 

[SakurabasEar]

Conor just doesn't care. What are they going to do? Prevent him from fighting? Conor knows he doesn't need to be in the testing pool. He knows his leverage and he is using it. Everyone knows he's not in the testing pool. Conor knows he's going to get the exemption because they need him fighting especially after filming TUF. Has nothing to do with alcohol. Just Conor knowing his leverage and knowing it doesn't matter if he's in the testing pool or not at the moment. They aren't going to prevent him from fighting and Conor knows that. Conor isn't slipping, he's just smart enough to know he's getting the exemption and none of that shit matters to him or will affect him.

Ariel wants as many views and as much spotlight as possible. He's one of the better journalists in mma but he's still an ego driven dickhead

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Youre right. It's now in the OP.

Thanks for catering to my lazy ass OP, much appreciated

I only blame him cause he shits on others and acts all morally superior when this tells us he is just like the lot.

From USADA after this interview:

“While we meet with all athletes who enter or re-enter the testing pool, we do not currently have a meeting set with Conor and, as of today, we have not received notice of his coming out of retirement to compete.”

“The UFC rules are clear that, in addition to two negative tests, an athlete must make themself available for testing for six months before returning to competition. This is a fair way to ensure an athlete does not use the retirement status to gain an unfair advantage by using prohibited substances during the retirement period, which would enhance their performance unfairly if the ultimately decide to return to competition. While the rules permit the UFC to make an exception to the six-month rule in exceptional circumstances, when the strict application of the rule would be manifestly unfair to the athlete, our position, which we have made clear, is that Conor should be in the testing pool for the full six-month period.”

Thank goodness.

 

[Tapatio]

Who edited his face??

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Why anyone would believe Mclegor is coming back juice free or isn’t getting the homie hookup to fight dirty is way beyond me.

???

The guy has been clean and an advocate for clean athletes his entire career, I imagine the rumours are true about him taking it for his leg injury and obviously working out hard while doing so...but who the fuck thinks he would want to juice in competition for the first time in his career? Why would anyone suggest a guy that won two belts and fought clean his entire career would all of the sudden only want to fight when he is juicing? Fuck off lol.

 

[MGS]

The UFC is a joke at this point. You'd think they would try to hide their dodgy practices but they don't even care. A circus. No legitimately left, whatsoever.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

lmao

The difference between Ariel’s stance on Dana’s slap (the correct one imo) and his approach to literally all of Conor’s vile behaviour is striking.

 

[Yellowcrab]

UFC has an exemption policy that they can use any time for any fighter.

Under exceptional circumstances that must be justified.

 

[Smegma-Head]

First of all Cuntard is a manlet and second I see the Sean Hannity approach is practised a lot in MMA (some idiots giving their insight on something MMA related instead of politics)

 

[Cpt Migraine]

I'm suspecting conor isn't real.. he's just low level AI designed to extract salt from sherdog..

 

[Prex32]

One of the side effects of excessive alcohol and drug use is that you start slipping and say things that are not meant to be said out loud.

i was actually surprised ariel went there
it was like a set up
normally you clear such things before talk
