Do you oppose the use of PED's in MMA but find yourself wishing fighters just don't get caught?

Honestly, I would prefer being blissfully ignorant. I know Jones is a scumbag. I know he is (probably) a steroid user too. But I would have rather had the fight happen, even if he was on steroids. My love of good fights overrules my sense of fair play and honesty.
 
Yes.

What a fucking hypocrite I am.
 
It certainly doesnt make the sport any more fun. For one I am glad that these fake GOATs get exposed, but ugh. It's a big blow to the entertainment factor this saturday.
 
The problem is that there is too much shit that is illegal.
 
Yes. I want a clean playing field but im pissed jones dc 2 isnt happening. But its the right thing to do....
 
Dumb

I wish fighters wouldn't cheat. People blaming USADA are morons.
 
Close. I don't give a shit about PED use at all, but so long as it is against the rules want fighters to not be morons and learn to cycle better.
 
Absolutely.

I think people shouldn't use them, but on the other hand, most of them do.
 
No. This is just part of the growing pains that go with cleaning things up. It sucks Jones-DC is off but the show goes on.
 
oh the good ole days, where they let the fighters fight first, then pop em for something after the fight.
 
I think there should be a compromise solution where they are allowed in a controlled/safe way.
 
No, I oppose it and hope they all get caught.

Doesn't mean I'm not disappointed to not get to see a fight but I can't stand the idea of a fight not being fair.

It's not the PEDS themselves that I'm completely opposed to, it's the fact that one guy might be on them while another guy follows the rules and has to fight Ivan Drago.

Perhaps it's time to tweak the rules and allow certain PEDS that do not carry longterm health risks and help with recovery so that everyone can get some of the benefits without unevening the playing field, not that some guys wouldn't still look for an advantage.
 
im all for cheaters getting caught.. but as with the nfl i feel these guys put their bodies thru the ringer for yrs and take a lot of punishment so its kinda meh... id probably be on the gear if i had to do what these guys had to
 
oh the good ole days, where they let the fighters fight first, then pop em for something after the fight.
this is the best system. Let the fight go on, and if theyre tested positive, they forfeit the ENTIRE purse to the opponent. This way the fans win by seeing the fight, and the noncheating competitor wins by taking the cheater's money. If both fighters are caught, then the money is split to everyone else on the card.
 
I don't really care if they take them or not off season. As long as they are off it the night of the fight, I could give a shit.
 
Honestly I have never really worried about PED use one way or the other. When asked outright yeah I agree with USADA doing what they do, I just don't feel strongly about it or lose any sleep over it. I will say though that losing this fight on Saturday really, really sucks. But it is Jones fault, not USADA's
