TJ Dillashaw's Suspension: Why EPO Is Such A Disgraceful Banned Substance For An MMA Fighter

[Fergelmince]

LOL at everyone in this thread who wants to score some EPO.

But hypothetically if a friend was to buy some, who would he buy it from and how much? Asking for a friend.

 

[The Judge Holden]

What about that crazy old fuck that had TJ training out of his garage in the lead up to the Cody fight? Said he's at the cutting edge of science.

No shit old man.

Fucken TJ. What a cunt.

 

[lifelessheap]

Its very dangerous......it thickens your blood and raises your BP. You need to take it under doctor supervision and it could cause a stroke........unless TJ is anemic, the doctor giving it to him should lose his license to practice medicine.

it tucked over Serena Williams a few times.

 

[Sparkie]

doesn't look good on the dill

 

[davidlemonparty]

Fuck this guy.
Someone who was so full of excuses after his losses yet it turns out he was cheating the whole time.

Is there a link between EPO and weight cutting, Ie any reason to suspect he mightve been just on it for his 125debut?

 

[El Fernas]

Heres Luke talking absolute garbage on EPO and its effects.. that it can be replicated by high altitude training etc, that shit was debunked like 15 years ago.



Thats the excuse many of the ones with high blood values used. Training camp in the mountains to hide from testers and use etc. And getting down with extreme blood values that could hold for weeks etc.. BS.

Im from a cross country skiing country. (Muhlegg Olympics 2002 etc. Finland semi-organised blood doping etc.)

Edit: The circumstances surrounding the doping ring in Europe that Luke alluded to isn't true either. Just a regular Luke Thomas day.

Edit2: I now see that on the video comments its like a dozen guys that has made the same or similar comment about EPO as me lol.

You are probably right, buuuut i have read that training at high altitude (really high) like the village Werdum went to for his fight with Cain in Mexico city, which is already high as it is and he went much higher for an extended period of time then going back down can help, thats why all the "altitude simulation" crap doesnt work.

 

[HardasNAILZ]

Let him take the EPO if he needs it.

 

[Sophia]

or a tampon

Grow up.

 

[LittleSmokey]

Lance Armstrong took EPO but was never caught.. he pass all his test but for sure every cyclist was doping. Pretty much it makes it so you never run out of cardio.

 

[Stagliano]

Koa

Wow TJ knew all these risks and still took it
What a heart of a champion

Lmao you wouldn't say that if it was Jones.

 

[Vile]

Ali Bagautinov also got caught using EPO after he lost to MM. (pre-USADA) It tells how taxing this sport is if even the little guys have to rely on EPO to have cardio.

 

[Law Dog]

Licenses are for pusassi’s anyway.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Shane Mosley used EPO early in his career and was busted with the BALCO scandal.

You can see a huge dip in his energy levels latewr on in his career and it wasn't just because of his advanced age!

 

[Wariowokecancel]

How is easy is this stuff to obtain and how much?

Very fucking expensive and difficult. You need a doc to administer. It’s not a bro drug.

 

[Wariowokecancel]

yikes. we suspected it was bad when he 'voluntarily' gave up the belt. now accepts a 2yr ban without a peep?

add in that if it injectable-only, ruling out all 'tainted supplement' possibilities...it's about as clear a case of intentional cheating that you can have, absent a full confession from TJ.

in another thread, someone mentioned Schaub was saying that the testing had just recently improved for EPO? so now I wonder if TJ is but the first guy we will see pop...and if USADA can and will indeed test past samples, how many more could we see???

EPO testing is extremely expensive and difficult, so it’s basically only something you can use for champs and contenders.

 

[Wariowokecancel]

You lose all benefits of running around in a mountain village for months in a day unlike using a blood bag after weigh in. There are studies on it.

And all that gas mask BS that Rogan promotes is utter crap. It fucks your system up and decreases your benefits of training. There is no study proving its effectiveness. Except by a ‘dr’ who is actually a ‘dr’ of some shit, not a MD.

 

[Hotora86]

Just as a reminder...

Machida got 18 months for 7-keto-DHEA, which is as potent as green tea. Reported it himself too since he took it not knowing it was banned. (call it negligence if you want)

TJ only gets 6 months more than Machida after getting caught on "the most disgraceful banned substance for an MMA fighter", which you can only ingest knowingly.

6 MONTHS difference in suspension!
And people wonder why Machida is salty about it.
Fuck USADA.

 

[Darragh209]

Suspension is too lenient. Should be forced to fight Artem Lobov bare knuckle as punishment.

 

[fightsnob]

And all that gas mask BS that Rogan promotes is utter crap. It fucks your system up and decreases your benefits of training. There is no study proving its effectiveness. Except by a ‘dr’ who is actually a ‘dr’ of some shit, not a MD.

Joe "It might not work for you but It works for me, so try it out" Rogan. Is this his newest hustle? lol

 

[SmilinDesperado]

How do you con your way to get EPO from a doctor..

Paging Dr. Justbleed, paging Dr. Justbleed.
