Safe to say Anderson did NOT use supplements his whole career

[Greedy Dana]

I have no respect for Anderson or his silly fans.

Pride was fake.

 

[CabCoola09]

uh his leg was healed like 4 months after the injury.
he popped for roids over a year later.

No. I won't get out. So there.

 

[Drake]

I kind of agree. He looked pretty similar to the usual him except he was slower, weaker chin & seemed a bit hesitant at times. Which could be because he's 40 now.

 

[lefthighkick01]

Didn't look like a monster at all constantly getting hit, if Bisping had power he finishes Silva easily.

as much as it pains me to say it but I agree.

 

[LukeSkyRutten]

That didn't look like a man who is off his supplements. It just looked like a 40 year old Anderson who is still a monster with a weakened chin.

I want to believe that he took it because of the injury.

He was declining badly when people say he was taking 'supplement'. He looked like shit against Sonnen 1, even got dropped, looked like shit against Weidman, looked like shit against Bonnar, looked like shit against Diaz, looked like shit against Bisping, and for all of these fights he was apparently doping (With just one time proven). What is the common theme here? For all these fights he was old.

I think it's obvious Anderson was taking it for his hurt leg. What are the odds the only time he's caught is after the gruesome injury? But, you're going to have haters regardless looking for a slip-up so they can say 'See! He's not the greatest!'

If it was that obvious then he would've told the commission it was for his leg. But instead he made up the excuse he was using it for sexual purposes. The only thing obvious to me is Silva got busted and tried to lie his way out of it.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

I completely disagree TS.

AndeROID further cemented the idea he's been a lifelong PED user. Besides, he already admitted to being one.

He looked how he looked in all of his fights.

I too want to believe the PEDs were for his leg, but there was relatively no change to his body or fight style.

 

[DrHouse]

Remember how when Bigfoot was on TRT he was able to take Hunt's shots and survive, then he's off TRT and got KO'd by the first punch Hunt landed?

 

[TH1RTE3N]

I doubt he suddenly forgot how to get away with taking PEDs all of a sudden after his leg broke in half.

 

[jimbob27]

Literally every significant fighter who came out of chute boxe has either been busted for roids, or fought in promotions that didn't test. It seems extremely unlikely he was the only clean person in that camp.

Let's not beat around the bush, he was caught roiding.

You can dress it up all by telling yourself whatever you need to justify it, but the fact is that he is a PED cheat.

"Dressing it up" has nothing to do with the question of whether or not he was cheating for his entire career. No one has the answer, so one can only speculate.

Or..

slower (cardio related drugs, epo, fg4592 etc)
Weaker... (steroids, hgh etc)
Hesitant.. (Being without ped's, not as confident)
could all equally apply

We dont know, we simply dont know

But that will always be the problem for Anderson now, because of what happened last year, people will always ask the question.

He was barely tested prior to testing positive. That was his first out of competition tests, and as far as the in competition tests go, likely the first samples of his that went to a decent lab (Smrtl)

So we dont know but considering hed never been tested OOC, and his previous IC samples sent to crap labs like quest, we can draw absolutely nothing from his previous test results EITHER WAY, cant make conclusions in either direction.

Very true.

The problem is it was his very first random test and his leg was fully healed no later than September.

 

[Phillyz]

Couldn't disagree more

a roided Silva would KO Bisping easily

 

[unimackpass]

No chin plus his ability to find small openings with strikes was off. He landed a nice knee and kick but with his hands he couldnt do anything.

Over 40.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

So a 40 year old who hasnt won in over 3 years takes two out of five rounds against a 36 year old guy who has 1 top ten win, three years ago, and because of this, you dont think he juiced for portion of the 6 plus years he was the supposed best fighter on the planet?

He juiced and is a cheAter ...
