I don’t understand the hate on PEDs users

[muaytao]

It’s funny how certain fighters get hated for juicing.... but then ignore others that are clearly juicing or got caught in the pass for cheating....cris cyborg, Brock, Romero, Anderson Silva, vitor, Bigfoot etc

IMO I don’t really care that they cheat but it will always be in my mind who the real good fighters are. And who had to cheat to be good. That is all.

True but not only Juicing but also eye poking and other unethical moves ment to end careers! Jones has all these attributes and more! Though I have no respect for any of the ones you’ve mentioned! Bones got busted 2-3 times and still fighting while pulsing! Fuck him and the UFC

Everyone is on PEDs. Its just a reality of professional sports. People who arent pro athletes (99.9% of sherdog) wont know how it works behind the scenes.

Bisping 100% clean
Hunto 99% clean

I don’t know how I feel tbh

I DO NOT think one fighter using steroids is a danger to others...for the most part I think the majority of talented fighters can get access to world class training and nutrition info, however I DONT think majority of fighters have access to the same illegal drugs so I don’t like that it makes an even more uneven playing field in regards to recovery and performance gains

Because of that I lean more towards “hating” known ped cheats than just turning a blind eye

I always find the comments such as "so and so is a filthy cheat and coward" or "this guy relied on steroids his entire career for all we know" to be just utter cringe. They seem to imply that these armchair losers delude themselves into believing that if they were on PEDs, they too would be world class martial artists.

 

[Threetrees]

I can’t imagine having strong feelings.

Like who gives a shit

And MMA would be a shit sport without PEDs lets be honest. Look at every other professional sport forget about Olympics, everyones juicing.

That's odd. Literally every competitor in every other sport, from pole vaulting to baseball, has such access... Strange that MMA fighters are somehow the only ones without ubiquitous access to PEDs...

Stephen Bonnar got busted for roids then inducted into the Hall of Fame.

LOL

Josh Barnett was on PEDs he has a dad bod. Whats yoir point? Could be using EPO still or something else for cardio. You never know what goes on behind the scenes. A lot of people were saying Lyoto Machida would never take PEDs cz hes all about honor and shit. Lol. Remember that?

Bisping is calling out PED users, and nobody ever called him out on this
Same with Hunto
You think a guy, who sues the UFC, because of Lesnar using PEDs and the UFC allowing that, would juice himself?

Bannnnnnnnnnnnnnn! You must be one of these guys’ biggest fan! Shame on you because these guys have the most money and should’ve passed! Explain to me why only them and a few others are failing instead of the opposite or ban

And Machida failed for DHEA. I can pick the same shit up at GNC.

Mark Hunt fought in PRIDE in a org that allowed everyone to use PEDs. I wouldnt be surprised if he was on something himself. Just because someones fat and out of shape looking doesnt mean their not on something. All Im saying is you never know. This is a professional sport where theres money involved. Youre a fool if you dont think PEDs are not involved at the highest levels

"I’m talking about performance-enhancing drugs—like steroids, human growth hormone, and so on. It’s obvious some of our players are doping. How are some guys getting older—yet thinner and fitter? How are they recovering from injuries so fast? Why the hell are they going to Germany in the offseason? I doubt it’s for the sauerkraut."More likely it’s for the newest, hard-to-detect blood boosters and PEDs they have in Europe. Unfortunately, drug testing always seems to be a couple steps behind drug hiding. Lance Armstrong never failed a drug test.”

Last year, an excellent investigation by ESPN laid bare the scale of – how to put this? – the insouciance. A supplier of PEDs to “12-15 current and former pro male tennis players” scoffed that the sport’s entire anti-doping programme was “Mickey Mouse” and “something [only] to appease.” A defensive ITF anti-doping chief Stuart Miller told ESPN it would cost between $1.2m (£900,000) and $1.6m a year to test every sample for EPO or HGH.

Everyones on PEDs.
