Mods: why is the forum rule regarding PED accusations being ignored?

[CPH]

from Sherdog's forum rules:

Please note that an unsubstantiated accusation of steroids and PEDs is fighter bashing.

Now please explain to me how the following posts are not a clear violation of this rule:

various names and figures being deployed and Aldo spilling his sample. Highly orchestrated.

This thing was engineered to be a massive clusterfuck by Aldo's people.

Anybody who doesn't realise this was a coordinated attempt to evade/delay testing is an idiot. And of course it succeeded.

What is most worrying is that local police and the Brazilian commission were involved.

Aldo could afford to be friendly and cooperative because he had a bunch of people around him running interference.

Managing to stall out for 2+ days before finally providing a valid sample doesn't look shady either.

Hope the other camps are taking notes. This is how you squash a random drug test.

Yeah, Aldo is fucking roiding. If you're not taking drugs you don't delay a simple act like pissing in a cup for 3-4 days.

...and this is just the tip of the iceberg. I am not going to waste my time copy/pasting every one of these.

Gotta use that report button.

 

[Jon Lock]

maybe because Aldo is brazilian

 

[Croton]

I don't know, simply discussing suspect events that took place seems like fair game. Outright claiming that someone did steroids with the sole purpose of bashing, is something else entirely.

 

[Chules]

lol stop crying over it ffs

report it (if you must) and move on

Bc 3/4 of shrdog would be banned

Which unfortunately happens here very often.

Hi Jose.

 

[LongTermLurker]

Report the posts instead of making a thread.

 

[fightdonttweet]

I think they've relaxed the rules with all the failed tests recently.

 

[Gunny]

All but the last post you quoted are NOT accusations of steroids. They are accusations that Aldo and his camp ducked the random element of his drug test. Leaving aside for the moment the question of whether that's accurate (which is an entirely legit debate) what forum rule does it violate?

 

[Fox by the Sea]

it's a controversial subject with a whiff of potential truth in it. ofc people are going to speak their mind.

if it's out of the blue, like "ronda only beath bethe cause she roided", yeah, that would be worse since there is no suspicion of it there and it is made only to slander.

Agreed. Discussion on the circumstances of this specific event is pretty interesting.

 

[rjmbrd]

I think 'unsubstantiated' is the meaningful part you glossed over.

People are commenting on - and reacting to - a news story that broke over a series of complications with Aldo being tested. Within reason I think forming an opinion based on the facts available should be fair game.

Making a thread or post apropos of nothing and calling someone a cheat is a pretty far cry from the examples you provided.

For the record, I don't think Aldo did anything wrong, and I personally don't think he's a cheat based on what was reported. People love a conspiracy theory, but I think all the events are pretty logical taken in context.

Wow, dude, you're a straight up rat. That's probably the worst personality trait a human being can have. I thought despising rats was universal--or is it cool to rat in Denmark? Dat communism...

 

[knock_you_out]

TS, you are being Cyranoid!

 

[ArkhamAsylum]

Sherdog mods don't follow or enforce rules on any type of consistant basis. They operate on whims.


Also, wrong forum TS

No fighters in the UFC do PEDs and it's not a problem also the women's divisions are great and full of talent.
