it also goes into detail in the article how the shit was making him sick.If a shady chemist said, "For $30,000 I can guarantee you will pass the drug test," would you take the offer?
Athletes might see $30,000 as an "investment" if they can make millions.
The chemist with 20 athletes would make $600,000 per year.
There's a financial incentive on both sides.

"I had been taking drugs - more than 300 different concoctions - for 12 months. A year on the programme cost $30,000.... I had a 200,000 pounds ($282,200) contract with Adidas that had a clause in it which reduced my salary by half if I was no longer in the top three (rankings), so I convinced myself the drugs were working."
Taking weird experimental steroids are going to bring more side effects and in MMA you have to train a shit load more than many other types of sports. It's a very Cardio and multiple skill intensive sport.
