TJ Dillashaw: USADA retested every one of my previous sample

"That’s like USADA’s weapon to use against you, to really slander you." It's not slander if it's true, Dill.
 
I'm with Garbrandt - dude probably cheats and knows how to cycle as not to get popped.
Cheaters gonna cheat.
 
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.

but it doesn't contradict the weight cutting contribution to 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.

What does that even mean, how do you know Epo is a more egregious way of cheating than doing roads and becoming what "TRT" Belfort was for example, i get the feeling people on here wanna throw the book at Dillashaw for cheating when there are so many others that do, and just because he was caught doin something other fighters haven't been caught with then it is a worse offense. Kinda silly imo, cheating is cheating, if steroids and whatnot weren't as effective as Epo u would have more cases of Epo than steroids, period.
 
Then how come Jones couldn’t beat the tests?

My guess is that Jones inability to be a responsible adult extends to all parts of his life. Most fighters like TJ who are disciplined and responsible can probably get away with it.
 
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.
 
Never lost your belt huh? Yeah you kinda did when you got caught cheating.

I agree.

Not hard to believe at all. In fact that is exactly what happened when the test for long term turinabol metabolites was developed/implemented in 2015 (ish). They went back and retested a bunch of samples from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and A LOT of medals were stripped and A LOT of suspensions were handed out.
 
According to google university EPO can be out of your system within 48 hours and benefits can last up to 90 day's so if you use it directly after USADA test you, the chances of them retesting you within 48hours is not very likley.
 
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 did find it odd how GSP kept talking about a cleaner sport and how he has always advocated for it, etc (like he has alot later on in his career) on JRE in a way that he kept trying to avoid saying he has never used PEDs and kept avoiding confirming or denying that he has or hasn't ever used them.

Not speaking in facts but it just feeds into the theory you have.
 
@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 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.
 
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

I don't see a whole lot of people saying that.

Take a top 100 fighter and put them on PEDs and they will perform better. As with almost any other sport.
