Ortega is probably the biggest duck in the UFC and a proven steroid cheater, don't know how the guy still has fans.
5 years ago coach James Larson gave Brian Ortega a choice........Modelo the official beer of Drostanolone errm no scratch that. Modelo the official beer of stuff almost like Hydroxycut in a way.
BS aside he did own up to it initially.
“In preparation for my UFC debut, I used a banned substance called drostanalone," confessed Ortega. "It was an irresponsible decision that I will regret for the rest of my life. I apologize to my family, friends, fans, the UFC and everyone else who was affected by my selfish actions. It should be known that my coaches were totally unaware of my decisions, and I am ashamed that I let down the people who believed in me more than I believed in myself.”
“Going forward, I’d rather lose a fair fight to any opponent, than defeat myself the way I have done,”
But then he backpedaled. Still he has done quite well without it since.....
Not a doctor but pretty sure Drostanalone is an injectable.
"I’ll let people hate on me for whatever reason,” Ortega told MMAjunkie. “For me it was something, I admitted – or, I publicly talked about it and said,
‘Yes, I did take something.’ I’ve never took nothing else like injectables or anything like that. It was an oral thing to make you cut weight. It’s almost Hydroxycut in a way. Or like fen-phen – remember that? I took that in order to help my weight cut, which every fighter hates weight-cutting. But I never excused no matter what it is that I took. I took full responsibility for what is it, what I did, and I did my punishment. I paid my time, and I continue with my life as anyone else does.”
