TJ Dillashaw: USADA retested every one of my previous sample

hope Sanhagen hits TJ with the same exact KO he got Frankie with..

That doesn't necessarily mean he was clean. EPO stays in your system for a short amount of time.

He could have just been off of it when they tested him. But then again tests are supposed to be "random".

EPO can be literally gone from your system overnight. Tour de France cyclists would have clandestine night time doses and walk around with IVs to avoid clots

I’ll always love the way Sherdoggers act like PEDs make fighters into invincible super humans. It’s like little kids playing with their Power Rangers toys <45>

Man that KO has me conflicted. It was a beautiful knee but I'm mad it had to happen to Frankie

 

[Masturbin]

I'm personally not a fan of TJ and think his antics are cringe as fuck, but i respect him for having the integrity to own up to what he did from the day he got busted.

Well it's because he literally had 0 way To deny it

Clots?

“If I thought I got somewhere because of PEDs, I wouldn’t be calling out Cory Sandhagen,” Dillashaw said. “I wouldn’t be asking for someone in the top five. I wouldn’t let it be known that I’m getting my belt back.

This is Jones' levels of faulty logic.

“They went back to all my fights that they ever collected my samples and retested all of them all the way back to my (Raphael) Assuncao fight after (Dominick) Cruz because they keep an A and B sample every time you get tested.”

Just because USADA re-tested old samples doesn't mean he wasn't using PEDs for those fights, it just means those substances had cleared his system by the time blood was drawn.

He could have just been off of it when they tested him. But then again tests are supposed to be "random".

Is that a fact about epo? How long does it stay ?

Could be out of your system within a couple days.

EPO is out of your system in 8 hours or less and it's due to substances such as these that USADA will sometimes test athletes in the middle of the night.

The only reason he "owned up to it" was because he had zero plausible deniability

EPO is such an expensive and concentrated substance that it is impossible for it to ever be found in tainted meat or supplements. It's also something only an expert chemist would be able to provide and monitor, since the slightest error in dosage could lead to blood clots, heart attacks etc.

If he tested positive for an estrogen blocker or clenbuterol, I guarantee he'd be blaming tainted supplements.

The impossibility of plausible deniability has less to do with EPO being "expensive and concentrated" and more to do with the fact that it's an injectable substance only, it'd be literally impossible to find in a tainted supplement.

Clots?

EPO thickens the blood which makes blood cots more likely to form and they can kill you; it's why anyone who's ever tested positive for it are easily taking other substances because EPO is one of the most powerful and dangerous PEDs an athlete can take.

@dim_ is more informed on this topic though.

It just becomes an arms race, and everyone's dead by 50.

Maybe 60 if the lessons of 1980's WWF have been learned.

Yeah it depends. That might be bullshit but also some truth to it, but it's not like the product will be bad.

The problem is people don't understand PEDs and they are just demonized so everyone will agree with this, and it is true potentially if someone is just straight up blasting forever and abusing it. But there's tons of examples of guys who have clearly been using test/steroids forever and are fine like Stallone and the Rock for example, pretty heavy usage too for the latter at least.

 

[DrTrouble]

What did USADA find when they retested?

 

[tenniswhiz]

To tack on to all these replies as a slight tangent,

It's way easier to beat testing than the average person thinks. The average person who watches MMA or the Olympics is fucking clueless actually.

Then how come Jones couldn’t beat the tests?

 

[KazDibiase]

Clots?

EPO increases the amount of red blood cells in the body and too much can cause blood clots and strokes.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Three weeks after the last EPO injection, only two out of 48 urine samples showed up as positive in lab tests. Nonetheless, the total red blood cells and aerobic capacity of the participants were still elevated at that time.


"What Carsten has confirmed, what people sort of thought was going on, is that it would be possible for most people to use low doses of the stuff [EPO], enough to get an edge," Joyner told LiveScience, "but in a way that wouldn't be detected."

That's just one of the reasons EPO urine tests, which began in 2000, have been fraught with challenges. In addition, EPO is short-lived, remaining in the body for as short a time as two days.


"So somebody could cheat on Monday and if the drug-testers came on Wednesday, 48 hours might be enough for the stuff to be gone," Joyner said. But the performance effects, he added, can remain for 90 days or so.

He was called out for how long, for other PEDs besides EPO?

Then about a year or so was called out specifically for EPO then low and behold he gets busted.

His behaviour after the CCC fight is someone who did not just decide to "take epo this one time" it's of a guy who's been a long term cheater and see's nothing wrong with it.

Fuck him I hope he get's KO'd hard.

Dillishaw could say 'the sky is blue'
And I still wouldn't believe him

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Please test his samples from the first Barao fight

PEDs don't do anything, that's why people take them.

He got caught red-handed there's nothing else he could have done. You have to be injected to get EPO in your system so he doesnt have the tainted supplement excuse like most other fighters use

 

[maximus__]

Yes, as we know, PED's always produce the best results possible.

He was taking EPO as a volume striker and having great performances in championship rounds of fights and getting his finishes then. The only person that it didn't happen with is Cody Garbrandt who he finished early. This wasn't taking some steroids to make yourself bigger or recover better from training. It was high level blood doping to increase the overall oxygen your body can produce. It's about as far as you can go with PEDs and isn't something you can just buy at your local gym.

Great example of a reductio ad absurdam argument!
