TJ Dillashaw: USADA retested every one of my previous sample

[maximus__]

To add tp your point I found a paper on controlled EPO detection studies

One Method had a 36.2% false negative rate and the other had a 41.4% false negative rate lmao.

Those numbers aren’t negligible.

There is a reason that Lance Armstrong, one of the most tested athletes in sport, was never actually caught. It's high level shit.
TJ isn't doing that without a team of coaches knowing what is going on in my personal opinion.

bob sapp isn't a fighter

To be fair, like @iWas mentioned earlier in the thread, prime Bob Sapp was pretty frightening.

EPO is the cardio steroid, that is what it is known for, it is big in cycling.

I believe it affects red/white blood cells levels and allows the body to carry more oxygen in the blood, having a superhuman effect on cardio.

The tradeoff, (there's always a catch) is that it thickens the blood. People on it sometimes report feeling like they have to wake up in the middle of the night and do cardio to dt hair blood pumping.

Pretty nasty and dangerous shit. And I say that as a pretty longtime steroid user.

* I am not a doctor, this is just anecdotal stuff I have come across over the years, do your own research. Maybe someone who is better informed on this particular substance can chime in.

Thank you! So there isn’t an excuse for it being in your body?

Has anyone asked TJ how EPO is supposed to help weight cutting?

Good point

 

[Vampire life]

All natural baby. Just the one time I changed everything I ever did for my chance to become Champ-Champ.

Tf is this? No one can take that many supps a day

This is TJ just trying EPO once to cut weight for 125.

 

[Reffson]

I believe him. Makes sense what he is saying about his older samples being re-tested.

 

[UsernameLOL]

This is TJ just trying EPO once to cut weight for 125.

personally I think it’s more likely that the weight cut to 125 made it more likely that he would get caught (more dehydration of samples and higher specific gravity I.e. more dense and less background noise)

not more likely that he would take it.

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 remember one of the big cyclist in the 90s wrote in his book that they would sleep with heart rate monitors while sleeping and if there heartrate went below a certain point an alarm would go off waking them up (it's was signal for get on your bike and pedal before you die of not enough blood circulation)

Yep. Same reason why Jones starts pulsing prior to fights as he cuts weight.

This is gonna be a crazy fight

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

He cheated and served his suspension, I'm over it, let's see what he can do now.

 

[aroptedi]

Time, EPO, Test

dont fix a broken chin

 

[tehShuffle]

Lol, he wouldn't have said shit if he didn't get caught.

Now we're going with this "integrity" narrative?

The tainted supplements excuse doesn't work. As far as I know, EPO can only be injected.

Accidental injection.

 

[Poirierfan]

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.

I didn't know that about EPO, I learned something new, thanks brother.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

He’s a cold hearted snake

 

[Vampire life]

At 35 with all this pressure on him- lower weight guys are funny like that, they need that "advantage " - I don't see this working out for him, confessional or not.

Horsemeat.
