tj wishing he had a magic eraser for all his epo cheating.
Yep. Same reason why Jones starts pulsing prior to fights as he cuts weight.
Travis Tygart (CEO of USADA) admits this himself in an interview.
29:45 mark. He says the appearance and disappearance of metabolites is due to changes in specific gravity which really contradicts the whole "fat sequestering" theory of pulsing.
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.
Then how come Jones couldn’t beat the tests?
but it doesn't contradict the weight cutting contribution to pulsing.
Does anyone find it hard to believe that USADA keeps freezers full of piss from years ago just to retest a fighter if they test positive? None of that makes sense to me. The storage alone would be ridiculous for the amount of tests they do.
on a side note i also believe this is why GSP was pushing for stricter testing and why he left the sport. he was tired of having to use PEDs just to compete with all the other guys and was worried about the long term effects of it on his health
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>
What do PEDs do? Have you ever used any?
i agree on tj for sure. or anyone. not failling doesn't mean innocent. unfortunately. but it also means you don't have hard evidence either.@kflo you deserve a better response than the one I gave you.
You are right it doesn’t refute the contributions of weight cutting to testing positive.
But it does refute the idea that someone has to fail every test (or even the majority of tests) to be doping which is the idea thar TJ is clinging to.
I’m not trying to take a jab at Jones in this thread. I’ll respond in the other thread shortly.
I’ve been on TRT for years and while I feel great and sexy, I do not feel like an invincible superhuman. By Sherdog logic I should be able to waltz into UFC and win a belt
Take a top 100 fighter and put them on PEDs and they will perform better. As with almost any other sport.
Of course. I never said PEDs don’t work, only that their effect is grossly exaggerated here.
