USADA exposed for allowing athletes to cheat in secret.

[markg171]

Oh yeah, some absolute no name who's absense will severely impact the UFC's ability to sell cards. Amazing.

You can also go over to the "Test History" tab and see how many times whatever fighter you think it being covered up for has been tested this year.

 

[markg171]

Brock being allowed to fight after failing a urine test 11 days before the fight is still to this day one of the most corrupt things I've seen in this sport.

Stop with the faux outrage.

Aldo's been part of far worse scandals and nobody gives a fuck.

 

[JBGuy420]

Just assume everyone is on steroids (because they are).

 

[NoSmilez]

Nobody reads the article or followed up on it. The athletes aren't UFC athletes. They confirmed one person as being an active Olympic athlete when they let them compete. The time frame was from 2011 and 2014. USADA was implemented in the UFC in 2015? The athletes are most likely from the running circuit.

WADA is beefing with USADA because USADA is complaining about WADA letting 23 failed Chinese swimmers compete in the Paris Olympics.

 

[Vil7]

I mean this was obvious, right?

How did it take WADA years to realize this when we knew it since it first happened? Willful ignorance is the only answer, which actually makes WADA just as complicit as USADA

They blew their WADA.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

You mean it is the same now as it was under USADA? I don't see it that way. Big players in the game were busted during and even before USADA. I don't think big players in the game will get busted now. They will selectively bust a few low-level guys here and there as sacrificial lambs, everyone else gets a pass.

Not saying USADA was entirely honest, just that they are better than what is happening now (or NOT happening).

They'll bust low level fighters and people they want to cut

 

[joy2day]

They'll bust low level fighters and people they won't to cut

That's already what they've done.

 

[Taric]

Stop with the faux outrage.

Aldo's been part of far worse scandals and nobody gives a fuck.

Brock is literally the only fighter in the history of the UFC to be allowed to fight while proven to have doped more than a week before the fight, with none of the failed testing being disputed at all. He just fought doped up and everyone knew about it.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

That's already what they've done.

It would also be a good negotiating tool when it comes to contract disputes

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Stop with the faux outrage.

Aldo's been part of far worse scandals and nobody gives a fuck.

What was the story with Aldo? Wasn't it something to do with USADA not having the correct documentation and ID?

Eicher is President of SMRTL lab, which is 1 of only 2 WADA accredited labs in the US, and is the lab that has caught pretty much every single drug failure in MMA.

Just admit you'll never be satisfied and move on.

He's on the UFC payroll bro. If you don't see anything wrong with that, then you probably have brain damage. Clear conflict of interest, which is why WADA forced USADA into ultimately ending their partnership with the UFC.

There are literally 2 WADA accredited labs in the US. Eicher runs SMRTL. UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory is the other. SMRTL has been behind most of the biggest MMA drug catches.

Do you want WADA standards or not?

Like your BEST CASE scenario is that the UFC instead... went to the only other lab with worse results.

And Aldo should've been failed procedurally about a dozen times here, regardless of if his sample collected 3 DAYS after it was supposed to be collected, by a Brazilian fanboy who wanted his autograph and photo instead of the NSAC rep sent to test him, passed but was still allowed to fight:

Brazilian doping officer asked Aldo for autograph

The man from the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission who went to collect a urine sample from Jose Aldo at his gym in June asked him for an autograph and picture afterward, according to documentation from Drug Free Sport.

Nobody cares about drug testing unless it benefits their narratives.

 

[VinceArch]

USADA just looking out for Brawk. I thought we all knew this much.

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Because, I'm sure as an organization, if you put out such a damming assertion against a rival organization without evidence and confidence to stand by the assertion, you will be sued.

Except WADA and USADA aren't rivals. USADA is part of the WADA network and is bound to their rules and procedures. USADA has clearly been guilty and this plus the RUSADA scandal really shows WADA to be an absolute joke very publicly. To wait years and years and pretend like this is new information is just adding fuel to that fire.

 

[TerrorTimmy]

I think Jones is not the case they're talking about because he wasn't allowed to continue fighting when he faced the 4 year ban. They just chopped off 3 years and he was back the next year. Still absolute complete bullshit though, I mean who did Jones turn in that was worth 3 years of suspension, anyone?

He didn't give them anything.

I think Jones is one of the cases here because WADA has procedures for this, and it's only supposed to be if the person actually provides information of significance - Jones didn't provide any information at all, so reducing his 4 year ban to 1 year was absurd and broke the rules. And it was very public and very obvious - if Jones isn't one of the cases referenced here, then WADA is even more clueless than they already appear.

At some point we have to admit that being this clueless is only possible if it's intentional.

 

[Legendary]

Jones got multiple slaps on the wrist and cover up stories while others got 2-4 year bans.

The whole sport is sham.

What I want is for USADA lab directors to not be on the UFC payroll. That's really not too much to ask.

You're obviously either an idiot or a paid UFC shill.

Seems like a pretty obvious conclusion.

 

[Cooliox]

You mean the snitching for a reduced sentence thing isn't a regular practice?

You're telling me Jon Jones was given special treatment???

Wow
