Schaub: steroids prosecution is stupid

[SSgt Dickweed]

According to Schaub, in basketball, baseball, cycling and presumably MMA, the best players who got busted would still be the best if everyone dropped steroid use. Everyone in pro sports using them anyway, so why demonize an athlete for being better at it than everyone else and take them out the HOF or whatever?

Didn't watch the video but sounds like a refreshing take on a new discussion!!

Yeah, sure I can accept that there’s a chance of that. But there’s also a chance they wouldn’t, and this world where everyone juices isnt our reality. People who work hard, and train their whole life get robbed. For me it’s more about the moral aspect than it is the dismissal of accolades.

I don't listen to this idiot.

 

[iDisagree]

Yea well Brendan Schaub is an imbecile.

 

[Hannibal Lector]

Lol thread title is misleading.

 

[Doom]

If it's allowed, then it's required. If it's required, it's about who has the best and takes the most. Turns into a science experiment and not a sport.

 

[Humongo]

i'm not going to listen to Schaub but if he is for legalizing and allowing steroids I agree with him for once.

 

[Askren’s chin]

I’m not listening to schaub perform the verbal equivalent of panic wrestling

 

[PulsingJones]

Blows my mind he has such a large following on Youtube

 

[Titan1980]

Not everyone takes them thats why it is nescessary. There are clean athletes out there.

Why does every shart that oozes out of Schaubs mouth result in a Sherdog thread?

Then why do them to begin with?? Oh yeah, they make the 'not as good' BETTER. Because they work, because they give you an edge. GIves you stronger chin, harder to ko, better reflexes, faster muscile twitch fibers, faster recovery, overall stronger, faster, confidence, and it seems like a lot of champs are 'given' steroids in order to keep them champ longer, because its more cost effective to keep and continue marketing a champ than to build and rebuild a new one. Yeah, steroids make a difference. #FEdorGOat, didnt have to run from usada like some others i wont mention. got kod into his 30's, like a normal elite fighter would. Also, fkc it, #markhuntbless. a natural elite chine, power puncher, grand prix champ.

lol it’s actually the other way around. With stricter drug testing only those who have the knowledge, recourses can beat the test, giving them a much greater edge than the other way around(especially against people who can’t dope). Drug testing creates a even more unfair advantage.

At the end of the day test is test. There isn’t a brand that smokes certain s out of the water.... the people who want to stay natural let them... people who want to take gear let them..... Sakuraba in pride beat people on steroids as well.

Pride had no testing and many people were on peds. Zero deaths in the ring.

Just stick to same day competition testing, your wasting money doing out of competition testing. People will still dope in USADA which creates a even bigger disadvantage for athletes.

Wrong

 

[Hannibal Lector]

USADA ruined the sport IMO.

 

[Hannibal Lector]

Wrong

Oh really? Care to elaborate? At least I backed my statement up, unlike you. Do me a favour and go watch icarus and report back to me.

This stupidity must stop.

 

[tripleo]

if it's allowed then they should make steroids legal, everyone has access to it, so it's an even playing field
