WADA funded study confirms: ~ 40-60% of athletes are on PEDs but only 1-2% are caught

Transitive relation, UFC is compliant with USADA who is compliant with WADA. Meaningless semantics argument, trying to divert from the fact that most athletes are on PEDs and only 1-2% are caught
I know you want to make it seem like most are on roids, but if you ever passed a math class you would know 40%-60% does not equal to most. At the same, 40%-60% are clean, so can I say most are clean?
 
So I guess the juice is worth the squeeze.
 
TS is probably a Jones or Silva fan. Why is this 10 pages lmao

Granted the point is probably true, but when some guys are getting caught n others are not that's just the evidence we have. It's kinda hard to say 'everyone is doing it, but only the highly paid champs who can afford better stuff etc are getting caught cuz they must just be super unlucky'
 
The study the Diaz brothers conducted is much more accurate and concluded 100% of fighters are on steroids.
 
It’s impossible to be competitive in professional sports without steroids. It’s not a coincidence that all the sudden about 10-20 years ago every pro athlete all the sudden had ripped bodybuilder physiques when they never did before. There is probably no starters in any major sport that isn’t juiced.

40-60% = lower bound

Real world numbers are higher than that, as pointed out by the study several times
 
"Some people are just naturally good at cheating. That is, they're born with a gene that allows them to take steroids, but pass traditional tests—without any of the designer masking agents that many athletes have turned to. And in a lot of leagues, that's as good as a license to dope your brains out.

The Daily Mail has a good writeup of the gene, UGT2B17, from over the weekend. It's found in varying amounts of the population—an estimated* one in ten caucasian people, 22 percent of people of African descent, over 66 percent (!!) of Asians—and can totally mask the use of some of the most common performance-enhancing drugs.

Here's how it works: The standard drug test in sports is called a T/E test. It compares the level of testosterone in your body to the level of epitestosterone, another hormone. Typically, the upward limit in sports is 4-to-1, testosterone to epitestosterone. But UGT2B17 keeps the ratio of T and E low naturally—even while testosterone levels rise. Meaning anyone with the gene could load up on testosterone and not worry about the tests." - https://gizmodo.com/this-gene-lets-athletes-pass-pee-in-the-cup-steroid-tes-1201313245 <<< Full article.

This do not work with bloodtest as i understand it but still a huge advantage in many sports.

If you watched the icarus documentary, when asked how many Russian medalists were on the juice, he said about 50%. That was a state sponsored program and that info was from the inside.
Underestimated results doesn't mean 80%-90%, it most probably still be around 50%-60% which is close to the icarus findings. Anything else is just speculation .
 
It's in their intrests to make sure that we have a doping issue. Whatever metric they chose to measure was a biased one to get a result. They were never going to publish a research paper unless it showed athletes doping. If they had a viable method to test, they would have to get approval as it is not mandatory. So basically they got the result they wanted to show.
 
Only 1-2% are caught because all sports allow a certain amount of PEDs for fair play. You can take whatever you want as long as you mask it. As for your test levels, you can have double the amount of an average person (which is impossible naturally) OR you can have the same level as a toddler (also naturally impossible) and you're good to go. Less than 1% of the population has test levels 25% higher than average. Heavy smoking and lifting might raise your test levels 1-5% if you're lucky.
 
I am more certain than not that Bron is on them.

For sure he's on them, he's already been linked to that PED Clinic in Miami. They had his agent and the initials of LBJ next to what PEDS he was ordering. That place ended up being torched and the books destroyed. That place was serving up a lot of athletes.
 
@ThunderStruck there you go. Most people get away with it. Doesn't matter what the tests are.

Wasn't the survey among track and field athletes? Do they have USADA unanounced testing regiment implemented?

Theres a huge incentive not to use PEDS when you know you can get tested anytime and anywhere.
