Dr. Mike Israetel estimates no more than 30% of MMA fighters use PEDs

[HoiceNJuicy]

Too low? Too high? Probably in the right neighborhood?

Discussion on that topic beings around the 43 minute mark in this interview with Luke Thomas:

 

[Luthien]

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

My guess is it's about 3.333x higher than that.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Lol....
How naive.

 

[Neck&Neck]

At least 60% of the men are on the Rizz Pharma tainted supplement supply

 

[tritestill]

thanks, this is actually something I would legit watch

 

[PaddyO'malley]

We talkin' regional scrubs included or just di UFC mandem roids cost money fam we can't just throw random mandem in

[Luthien]

Mandingo when is the next slap event I need some slapping goodness

Luke Thomas of all people is not the guy to listen to for this. He won't say anything that might offend anybody, so even if everyone is actually using PEDs to some extent, he'll never acknowledge it.

But the testing now basically only exists on paper. They've had 8 months and haven't caught a single fighter for doping violations. The only suspensions this year are tests taken by USADA last year that have finally been arbitrated and decided.

Fucking embarrassing tbh

[Bend NvR Break]

there are always more people using then we actually think they are. when machida popped i finally knew that no one was safe from the temptation to use PEDs. I'm still want to know about what happen to Nate Diaz's sample that popped. I never seen the ufc make a positive test disappear so quick and quietly before. Even if it was tainted we've seen people like Cung Le and Yoel Romero take months to actually clear their name. With Nate it kinda just went away hush hush like.

Nate Diaz May Be Out of U.F.C. 244 After Positive Drug Test (Published 2019)

The fighter said he did not know what substance he tested positive for, but claimed he would be unable to face Jorge Masvidal. Conor McGregor has volunteered to take Diaz’s place.

Yes, cannabis has always helped to enhance fighter performance.
Nick's 5 year suspension for cannabis showed they were serious about PEDs.

I hadn't realized this. So PEDs are "legal" in the UFC now?

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Most of the Brazilian women are obviously on the juice as their backs and shoulders are oversized when compared to regular fit female physiques, it's amazing that the powers that be at the UFC still let cheating pigs like Ariane Carnelossi compete when "she" blatantly fails the eye test.

Not to mention how many of the Brazilian women have man voices

but the Brazilian men in return have female voices

I don't know wtf is going on over there

 

[MotorCityCobra]

30% may be running gear like bodybuilders.

80-90% minimum are on some PEDs.

Anyone around here actively train with anyone who fights and can avoid name dropping?

I knew a bunch of guys competing in the early 2000s to early 2010s time frame. They all were on steroids lol. And when I was first around them they all played dumb. Once I started mingling outside of training (drinking, occasional drug use) they pretty much all admitted to it.

Can't imagine it is any different now.

Anderson Silva's broken English sing-song voice didn't exactly sound intimidating that's for sure

 

[Dana's Moonface]

More than 30% of wmma are on male hormones, never mind the guys
