What a clown show. The UFC essentially trying to save face for the Jones juicing scandal.
So wait - was this an athletic commission drug test that found it, or USADA? Because if it was NSAC, then what the fuck is USADA doing?
I just mean USADA is meant to be better testing, but they missed it completely.They probably have different detection standards. They announced something about that.
And anyway, not every single test picks up everything or we wouldn't have anyone doing PEDs
USADA guys are already in holiday mode, they dont care anymore.So wait - was this an athletic commission drug test that found it, or USADA? Because if it was NSAC, then what the fuck is USADA doing?
I think these rulings are fine. If you read the rulings they pretty much changed the sensitivity of the test. If it's way below the threshold of the test then you get flagged for atypical test but not a positive one. Their rationale is that probably indicates past usage but it's not recent. The other alternative is that the athlete consumed something that contained a trace illegal substance but it is such a small amount that it has no effect.
Jon’s case affected sports drug testing as a whole in America. He was somewhat validated by MBL players suffering the same issue as him with the test being too “sensitive” and the pulsing issue. The league follows suit and changed the thresholds for a positive test.I haven't looked into the details on this but the confusing terms of the punishment seem to reflect the confusion around the accuracy and legitimacy of the testing protocols. Anti-doping protocols are far from exact science and due to the legality and nature of the substances are based on very limited human research.
That is what made the Jon Jones situation very significant because they were able to compare the results of multiple tests within a close time period of their positive M3 test. When they looked at the combined results it showed that the conclusion of their M3 testing being a definitive indicator of tbol usable was not possibly valid.
They're setting the precedent for Jon to get his NC against DC to be overturned.
You don’t understand why that case was significant. Supposed say you were punished for the original violation. The pulsing issue is regarding a long term metabolite that stuck around. A test that is too sensitive will keep picking up the same metabolite. Do you keep charging the athlete with the same crime?Naw .. a fails a fail .. u shouldn't have shit in your body past or present...
U piss hot...u get cooked. ..no mercy for cheats ever
About Damn Time Too!
Short suspension. Small fine. Win still counts. Sounds like cheating is allowed to me.Ok so can we just admit they can freely juice now?
They don;t all test at the same time.It's separate bodies of testing. USADA is random drug testing throughout the year. Local commissions only test if a fighter is fighting in their state/country. That's the difference between UFC having USADA as "independent" testing organisation vs when Jones was sanctioned in one state, but not another back in the day.I just mean USADA is meant to be better testing, but they missed it completely.
Also no mention of a USADA/UFC suspension, which is of course separate from NSAC, but still should be relevant here.
Now that USADA is leaving the picture, drug testing legitimacy is going out the window. Back to the bush league days, I guess

Since Miles is a manlet, isn't it more like a handful of salt in a kiddie pool?Trace amounts of cheating is fine.
A pinch of salt in an Olympic pool.
A smidge of steroids in a gas station dick pill.
A few eye pokes.
A sprinkle of salt. A smidge tops.Since Miles is a manlet, isn't it more like a handful of salt in a kiddie pool?
Can't afford a saltwater kiddie pool on that salaryA sprinkle of salt. A smidge tops.
Any more than that would be overkill.
Unless it is a saltwater kiddie pool. Obviously.

Remember when USADA made an announcement about pulsing, etc. with metabolites? I can't remember exactly what it was but it was something like "we aren't doing metabolites any more" so they might not even test for that, for all I know. Or below their range.
Yeah, testing legitimacy is kinda out the door come January but note that NSAC caught this guy AND all the PFL guys (like 10 of them) so it looks like there's a new sheriff in town in Nevada and there are lots of events held in Vegas.
