No but seriously, do you actually care about PEDs?

[Threetrees]

It seems like Sherdoggers are up in arms about PED usage and USADA recently

But do you actually care?
I mean it seems like most people acknowledge that large amounts of MMA fighters are probably on some form of PEDs
Multiple fighters have alluded to the usage being rampant, and I think most people acknowledge more people are using than are getting caught

So I guess my question is, do you actually care? Like on some moral "clean sport" fantasy type shit?

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

If it means better fights, less injuries/failed weight-cuts, and more fights, then I support PEDs 100%

 

[VinceArch]

Rather no one takes them but that's obviously wishful thinking.

 

[ANIM4L]

I think its bullshit if some fighters can get away with it and others have to keep it clean. Do away with USADA and make it an even playing field like before.

 

[D'z]

Honestly, I don't know enough about them.

 

[Pacemaker Joe]

I wouldn't care if they allowed it. I don't care who used it Pride. I sort of care that they have a level playing field, but whether that's through strict anti doping or allowing a free for all doesn't matter to me as long as people are informed of the risks.

 

[20falarVerdades]

Only delusional people believe in "clean" sports

 

[leatherf4ce]

Either everyone can take them or keep it clean.

 

[Dozer .]

Everyone is on steroids, including your favorite fighters.

 

[LouisBolanos]

Absolutely. Not only do PEDs create great drama and popcorn they also make fights more exciting. Would you rather see Ubereem or Econoreem? TRTVitor or Old dino Vitor? Did you not enjoy Martha Shen Uquidez grill Jones at the hearing? Did you not enjoy the Icarus documentary?

Face it, sports are much better when people cheat.

Also, TS you messed up with your poll, there's no option for "Yes, I love PEDs because it's more fun"

Large amounts of MMA fighters are probably on some form of PEDs

That is an irrational POV.

For example:

• Yoel and his manager are Dumb & Dumber. They are literally idiots. There is no way they outsmarted USADA.
• Paulo Costa is not a MENSA member. There is no way this dude is currently roiding and just outsmarting USADA.

On the other hand:

• Brock is an expert and he popped.
• Overeem is an expert and he popped.
• Frank Mir is a reasonably intelligent dude and he popped.
• Brian Ortega is a reasonably intelligent dude and he popped.

The notion that dumb people and their teams/parasites are beating USADA is retarded.

 

[Dream Evil]

I prefer an even playing field. Whether that field is clean or pumped full of bullshark testosterone, I don't care.

You're actually right

On the other hand:

• Brock is a roiding expert and he got caught.
• Frank Mir is a reasonably intelligent dude and he got caught.
• Brian Ortega is a reasonably intelligent dude and he got caught.

The notion that dumb people are their teams/parasites are helping them beat USADA is retarded.

lmfao

 

[Flokk]

I'm jealous that GSP has a better source than me. Otherwise, idgaf.

 

[Shcooby Dooby Doo]

I voted the fourth option.
I want to see the best fighter; not the best lab experiment.

 

[LouisBolanos]

You're actually right

 

[20falarVerdades]

That is an irrational POV.

For example:

• Yoel and his manager are Dumb & Dumber. They are LITERALLY idiots. There is no way they outsmarted USADA, which has a financial incentive to catch mid-level stars.
• Paulo Costa is not a MENSA member. There is no way this dude is currently roiding and just outsmarting USADA.

On the other hand:

• Brock is a roiding expert and he got caught.
• Frank Mir is a reasonably intelligent dude and he got caught.
• Brian Ortega is a reasonably intelligent dude and he got caught.

The notion that dumb people are their teams/parasites are helping them beat USADA is retarded.

I'm sorry but in fact your post is dumb. You are assuming many things such as "Yoel is dumb" and Brock is a "roiding expert" which have no foundation. It is laughable that just because Ortega "looks" reasonably intelligent it means he understands the biochemistry of drugs and the logistics of passing drug tests, but a lifelong Olympic athlete does not

 

[kill_bot]

as far as i am concerned, the vast majority of pro athletes are using some form of ped's

the ufc differs from other orgs because there is no off season. if other orgs tested as stringently as the ufc, the list of ped users would outnumber the non-users by a significant margin

as it stands, i am against ped's as it gives certain fighters an unfair advantage as not all are using, but if everyone was allowed to use them without repercussion, then i would be okay with ped's

 

[Shcooby Dooby Doo]

Funny nobody has voted the third option. Truth is, loads of shertards here should truthfully be voting the 3rd option.
