Tired of seeing this PED-absolving attitude around these forums. People are saying "USADA should just go" or "Let him stay anyways". If there's one thing I can't stand in life is a cheater. They fool their opponents and they fool you. By gaining an unfair advantage by breaking the rules they reap great rewards (look at pre-usada post-usada pics). And worst of all, just because they were popped once doesnt mean this was the only time they done it.
This isn't a sport like baseball, where cheating means hitting a ball harder. This is a fighting sport. When you cheat you hit a human being's skull harder because of your training benefits. I know its funny for someone who likes fighting to talk about fighter care, but this is one of the things I believe that makes PEDS unacceptable.
And don't get me wrong, I can understand on some level how difficult it is for an athlete to perform greatly against his opponents without the use of these substances, some fighters are not fighters at all without PEDS (TRT users for example), but part of this was because of the wide use of PEDS in the first place.
USADA's testing is the best thing to ever happen to the sport. We are entering a new era going back to the main mission of the UFC, to see what martial arts techniques applied by the best martial artist lend themselves to the best form of unarmed combat. No injecting needles or popping pills caveats. No sticking an iv in your system.
