Media Dan Hooker says the UFC and USADA are punishing him for IV allegations

[richardjohnson]

OK so we're saying Islam only rehydrated 100MLs? Or that he had an exemption for more?

I can't keep track of what ppl are arguing here.

Who knows if he used an IV or not, but even if he did this dumbass is acting like it’s some brand new rule that Islam’s team had the inside scoop on meanwhile this has been the rule for over three years now.

 

[mudrubble]

We don't know. We don't know if he used 100 ml, which is laughable, or if he used 4 liters. We know that the rules changed, somehow, and somehow Islam is right there. All I know, is Islam fucked himself for his next weight cut. Now will be done under much more scrutiny and attention.

Ok so the long and short of it is:

Islam used an IV but nobody is sure if he cheated, per se, and nobody is alleging that they know he rehydrated more than 100MLs so there really isn't any accusation of breaking rules per se.

Correct?

Sounds like there are questions around who knew what rules but that is not evidence of illegality. Nor is using an IV evidence of illegality.

Dan is not suggesting he knows the AMOUNT Islam rehydrated, right?

And without that amount exceeding the allowable 100ML, we can't allege cheating.

Is that all correct? All Dan is alleging is that Islam used an IV, which is not illegal in of itself. Correct?

I get it's suspicious but I'm trying to separate suspicion from claims of evidence, here.

Gotcha. But sounds like all are in agreement that if he used the IV for more than 100mls then it is patent cheating.

And sounds like Dan is NOT alleging he knows the amount Islam rehydrated so his "evidence" (if he has some he won't release) would not, on its own, prove foul play.

 

[richardjohnson]

the same time you joined here. weird, no one knew about this rule change prior to Hooker exposing it all. Very strange. Very strange indeed. IV USAGE WAS BANNED. NO ONE KNEW. HOOKER EXPOSED THAT. and you have nothing of substance to ponder. I wonder why?

Islam’s team obviously knew.. so saying that no one knew is wrong. A ten second google search showed that USADA changed the rules in 2019. Very few people knew the rule changed because they didn’t bother to read said rules, which is on them. This isn’t rocket science.

Yeah if he used an IV for more than 100mls that is certainly cheating but there isn’t even proof he used an IV let alone proof that he used it illegally.

Ok, so Dan is DEFINITELY talking out his ass if he's not even claiming he has evidence that it was more than 100mls.

He may STILL be talking out of his ass if he doesn't even have evidence of IV use at all. But evidence of IV use at all is not enough to prove cheating.

I think I get it now. Good luck to him - it sounds like the receipts he's claiming are not actually enough to prove the purchase here.

Hooker exposed a loophole that exists, that no one knew about before this.

 

[Safton]

You can make so many innuendos with his quotes there that I'm not even gonna try it.

The fruit is too low-hanging.

you keep saying that no one knew about it until Hooker exposed it, but then, how did Figgy go to the hospital get an IV and fight Moreno for the title without knowing about it ?

 

[Chagaev]

LOL USADA puts the rules out there in plain English and some dudes are upset that a Dagestani knew about them and they didn't.

Who's fault is it that you guys don't like to read.

 

[Yep]

100 ML is legal, then you need a doctor's exemption. Ali tweeted something like Islam needed liters to rehydrate, and its OK. All of this comes out, as NO ONE KNEW the RULES CHANGED. But now you have people saying, well you need to read the rules bro. OK? They unknowingly changed, yet somehow Islam and Ali Debababliz are all over it. Then Ali deletes that tweet. Hooker exposed this loophole, and "fans" pretend like they knew it was OK the whole time.

Hmmmm I missed this somehow. That’s very interesting. Or shall I say, suspicious?

 

[legcramp]

USADA only come knocking to try and get the evidence that Hooker had for the IV Islam used, of course everytime they leave none was provided.

“I’ve had two or three knocks on my door at 6 a.m. by USADA, blood and piss over the last couple of weeks,” Hooker told The AllStar.“You think that’s a coincidence? That ain’t no coincidence, baby. On the same hand, you think I’m just gonna shut up and bite my tongue?

“Brother, I’ve almost had 50 knocks at my door, and that’s a stranger coming into your house, asking you to pull down your pants and stare at your d*ck. You think I’m gonna sit silent while other guys are skirting the rules when I got some stranger knocking on my door, asking me to pull my pants down? I ain’t playing this game.”

“Do I think that the UFC is gonna punish me in some kind of way? Yeah, I’m sure they will,” Hooker said. “I’m sure they’ll give me tough matchups. Whoop-dee-doo. Ask the last 10 blokes I fought, they’re all tough matchups. So bring it on. You wanna give me tough matchups? Give me tough matchups. That’s what I’m here for. I’m not here for easy fights. I’m here for tough fights. … I’m not gonna blatantly see one of my teammates cheated out of a world title and not say anything.”

I don t think he s very intelligent

They come knocking on his door to get the evidence and instead he keeps pulling his dick out for some reason.

That brain has been through a lot lately

 

[Oscar Madison]

Hooker should be handing over his evidence against Islam -- directly to USADA official/s who came to test him -- Live Streaming.

Good, they should.

TIL Dan Hooker is the easiest person in the world to sexually assault. I bet he's never been tested.

 

[Dionysian]

WAR HOOKER for exposing bullshit loopholes allowing fighter to use IVs. NO ONE KNEW THIS. If i'm Hooker, I don't shut the fuck up, and I show the proof. Thats it.

Only he hasn't shown any proof so......

The rules changed in 2019 and dudes are acting like Islam and his team had some inside scoop on it lol
