How come we rarely hear about USADA anymore?

[InThySight]

It served its main purpose of legitimizing the UFC and thus allowing Zuffa to sell. Now it's really more a hindrance than anything else; though it's somewhat useful in putting pressure on fighters that the brass dislike.

Fighter are well aware now that they are going to be randomly tested so they are not juicing like they use to. For the most part the only things we hear about now are guys testing positive for some obscure chemicals that nobody even knows about but they are still on the list.

 

[Human Bass]

they might be testing only for instances like you describe above. It's a lot more of a gray area now.

"Most significant to the new rule changes, a UFC athlete who tests positive for carboxy-THC (the main psychoactive component in cannabis) will face a violation by USADA only if evidence demonstrates the substance was taken for performance-enhancing purposes such as alleviating pain or anxiety; otherwise the athlete will not be eligible for sanction. A positive test for the prohibited substance, THC, will result in an atypical finding that will only be deemed a violation if it meets the aforementioned condition."

Because the dump diver and USADA didn't care about "cleaning up" the sport. because the real goal is to get the contract.

It didn't seem that long ago there were threads upon threads how USADA was going to clean house and clean up the sport of all juicers.

Now I seldomly see posts or articles regarding USADA and fighters being popped for pissing hot.

Umm because usada doesnt report shit to the public anymore like a bunch of Bitches.


So we dont know whos popping or not ...

Fucking Lame...

Call the cheaters out!! Its The only way!!!

Most recent news was D-rod ...but he reported it himself ...

USADA cares about hurting feelings more then cleaning the sport

You don't hear about them enough becausethe racketeering is working well

 

[scoobster]

They cant find anyone using banned substances and they tried for years, i think they moved on to another sport

Turn a blind eye more like via a ufc backhander

 

[blackheart]

they completely discredited themselves with their handling of the Jones situation and literally changing the guidelines in order to prevent him from being banned for life
