PED'S or not, only people losing out are the fans.

People who actually know something about the sport are defining those rules. USADA are defining a set of arbitrary rules when they know nothing about the sport. Their rules fit their agenda.

lol so a doctor couldnt tell you what is or isnt healthy for a human body just because they dont know what a rear naked choke is?

ofc their rules fit an agenda....the agenda they are mandated for ...lol they didnt just show up and tell the AC what is what, they were asked/hired to do so by the AC their rules fit the agenda of a plan of attack against breaking of the rule set that the AC approves of....

One of the things I think most of the people on the everything goes side seems to miss is that if PEDs became not just an understood "evil" but promoted and approved then fans will lose the illusion and the mystique that surrounds sports.

Fans want to believe these athletes are clean and special. When in reality they are special and a chemistry experiment combined. If fans believe that it's just the chemistry sport will lose the allure for many because they will believe that's all that separated them from being world champions. Look as SD many of the tools here believe that could beat UFC champions. Having said that maybe people could use taking sports less seriously in general.


Also I think funny that several of the pro PEDs are yellowed up.

If its about excitement and fighter safety doesn't matter, let them choose between using PED's or putting metal into their gloves.

The world's public opinion isn't ready for the PEDs reality so we play games.

Let em juice!

I think the UFC/USADA should continue to crack down on PED's. There needs to be a place where the sport is practiced in the most professional manner possible, and I think the UFC should be that place.

However, there should be, and are, places where fighters who don't adhere to all the professionalism can go... I think we all know where that place is

USADA does not care what's good or healthy for the athletes. They are business and like any other they care about money. I guarantee you that if they were the ones getting beat down because they couldn't train enough cardio due to an injury they would want to be able to take something to heal faster. Prohibition historicaly doesn't work, regulation does. These are grown men and women let them put what they want in their OWN bodies. Just let the other fighter know what their opponents are taking and let them decide if they want to take the fight. It's called transparency, sorry for the wall of text BTW lol
