PED Penalties About to Increase Dramatically

[ReadWrite]

The NAC is in the process of passing new guidelines for discipline with regard to drug offenders. Under the potential new policy, first-time steroid or testosterone offenders would receive three-year suspensions and a fine of 50 to 75 percent of their purse. It's unclear if the policy would be retroactive to cases, like Jones', that occurred before it was passed.

There's no way that would fly.

You would clear out entire divisions and a huge portion of the roster.

If they wanna grow the Hel out of Japanese MMA, they can pass it.

 

[Limbo Pete]

Bring it on

 

[IamStryker]

Good. Then only complete morons would risk using PEDS.

Fuck the Nevada State Athletic Commission. I don't give a shit what they propose or how valid it is. They are corrupt pieces of shit. We already saw Nick Diaz's hearing. Boxing fans have seen decades of corruption. Random, ignorant, shitty judges strangely continue to find themselves ringside... Why would anyone support anything they do?

As long as everyone knows the consequences of their cheating ways.

You wanna cheat - roll the dice. Maybe you get USADA'd; maybe you Beat USADA with your sly ways.

Just don't cry when the hammer falls.

These guys are trying to put each other out; it's dangerous enough as it is with out a bunch of enhanced captain america and winter soldiers running around all juiced up.

There should be a juicing league and a natty league. But until that point WAR USADA!!!

 

[binny]

I think the idea of deciding which man made supps are too powerful and which aren't based on who knows what is dumb. anyone narrow minded enough to condemn everything usada and nsac bans are not the people I want to be around. use whatever, if people can choose to be punch drunk forever for the sport they can have heart issue for PED's as far as I am concerned.

Yay
Boring fights, dad bods and injuries
All I ever wanted

 

[Shoot Boxe Hero]

They climbin in yo gyms
Snatchin yo fighter's piss up
Tryin' to clean up the sport
So hide ya syringes
Hide ya pills
And hide ya drugs too
Cause they suspending everyone out here

Oh there will be a new juicing league in Japan. They will call it "DIGNITY" it's gonna be great. Will help grow JMMA. Fighters will have to sign opt out contracts in case they pop.

UFC is dying.

You wouldn't because you'd only have to get one or two people.

Remember, the point is not to actually suspend the whole roster, it's to make the punishment severe enough that the tail risk of getting caught outweighs the benefits of roiding and beating the test.

It would be a good idea to bet your house mortgage that we would see....

1) fighters performing much more terribly.

2) Fighters looking completely different

3) Some just not being able to stay on the roster because of the losses.

4) Probably a whole lot of them migrating to something like Rizin. This is a scenario where if they want to keep juicing because they just know they are that much better using.

I'm listening the the JRE right now and remembering how Jogan was like "there's absolutely 2 guys that I know don't use PED's.".

One of the guys he said was Jon Fitch and look what happened, even he got popped.

 

[dildos]

this is getting out of control.

far to severe penalties. especially when fighters make shit all fighting.

 

[Which Doctor]

I can't wait; the top MMA pro-league in the world is turning amateur.

This is a good topic. A couple things. Yes, fighters would look less impressive and fight differently. But they would look and fight like normal human beings, which I think is part of the appeal of MMA, to see the closest thing to real unarmed combat that you can do in a sport-environment.

Also, who would the fighters who wouldn't be able to stay on the roster be losing to? Other non-roided fighters. So I don't think that would be an issue.

I should add also that you probably would see some guys go to Japan, but PRIDE did go bankrupt so I don't think it's that huge of a risk. Also, I'm not sure why guys would want to take PED's and (presumably) harm their health if they can be reasonably sure that everyone is natural.

 

[freakyfarley]

The UFC will be just fine

If most guys are stopping using, the ones that don't stop and are caught need to be forced to change careers and have their purses garnished to almost nothing. Pulling out of a fight should be a better bad option than using PED's to get you through camp.
