Is USADA tests rigged?

[Shaddows]

Aldo's trainer had an interview (in Portuguese, sorry - google translator is your friend) where he accused Zuffa of not testing Conor properly.

Yes, they were both tested the same amount of time. But while Aldo was tested every week/10 days, he claims Conor was not tested for two full months, being only tested (multiple times) in the last two weeks before the fight.

That brings a curious point. Could Zuffa/USADA be playing just a game of appearances?
I mean even here, most people pay attention how many times fighters have been tested, and Conor even leads the list. But if they are indeed testing him just at the beginning and then at the end of the camp, he can juice freely throughout the camp, stopping just in time to be clean in the last couple of weeks before the fight, where he will need to be clean anyway.

I know it is a little conspiracy theory, but what do you think? Too farfetched? Or something to go

Edit: Just to be clear, I am not talking about Conor's case only, it was just what got me thinking about it.

Have you checked and confirmed the dates, TS?

They're available on the USADA site.

Yes i'm sure it's rigged for Conor but not for Brock or the guy that was headlining the UFC 200 main event.

 

[Towelie by TKO]

Right, it's so rigged they let both of the biggest names on UFC 200 get popped within a week of each other...

Why would somebody complain they get tested too often if they are clean

Aldo my favourite fighter but cmon

He wasn't complaining he was being tested too often, just that his opponent wasn't. According to Pederneiras they proposed 3 tests a week, paid by Aldo, for both fighters and McGregor's camp wouldn't go for it.

According to a biased party, sure, but I don't think he'd lie.

The UFC does not dictate the frequency of testing to the USADA.

 

[TheLuckiest]

USADA has ways of detecting using of PEDS that were used months ago. An 8 week camp isn't long enough to get away with a damned thing.

Never listen to someone when they're going full retard TS. If USADA was rigged Jones wouldn't have popped because they would have worked it around Jones's cycle too. Instead they tested the guy in the main event of their biggest event ever 3 weeks out

A conspiracy theory? It's deeper than that. I have a source, a uncle who knows a guy he says this is about next gen robots and ww3.

This is serious and not funny. Their cloning fighters.

Sorry, I think I passed the wrong impression (I've edited my OP to reflect that).
Admittedly, I did not check.
But it is not about this specific fight, just overall, how someone could be tested a lot, but in a way they could still be allowed to cheat.

was not his point.
He was trying to get both fighters tested more (Few times every week).

But the point is that while Aldo was tested about once a week (thus not allowing him to use PED and cycle off) which should be the case, Conor was not tested for two full months (thus allowing him to use PED) and only tested two weeks before the fight (where he should be cycling off anyway since they would surely be tested pre-post fight).

After they pulled the headliner for ufc 200 3 days before it ,im going to say no.If anything multiple testing in a week is more effective then once a week.If you listen to most experts they claim to clean a sport up you would need to test twice a week randomly and thats only to get the detectable steroids not the undetectable ones
