Was Machida Masking?

[ReadWrite]

Basic poll...

 

[Mga223]

Much better masking agents out there for him to be using it for that.

 

[Peteyandjia]

You've come to the right place, since none of us has any idea whatsoever.

 

[One Inch Punch]

Ask Mousasi, he knows

 

[Carniusss]

I know next to nothing of what he tested positive for.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

We have little to almost no evidence regarding this..

 

[soulsstealer]

He was just using it for kicks and giggles.

He hasn't tested positive for anything.

Anyway, why would you use a banned substance as a masking agent that could potentially trigger a positive result and declare on the pre-test paperwork? Jesus.

Yet, if you get caught with this one, you can rub it off as "Hey, I was just taking over the counter wal-mart stuff, I didn't know!"

Except that he admitted taking it before he even tested positive. He told USADA what he was taking. He wasn't trying to hide this supplement at all, so your point is kinda...well, pointless.

 

[Al Overrated]

How the hell should I know?

 

[The Best JG]

it's anderson who masks

 

[Credo]

Don't care but wth, i'll go with no. He's clean as a whistle.

I was under the impression that they showed up to randomly drug test him, and that's why he admitted to taking supplements. Also, that doesn't prove he was innocent. If you could just admit to taking PED's people would just take them and admit before hand.
His samples could still come back positive.

I'm saying 'no' here because

A. DHEA' mechanism of action as a masking agent is to increase epitestosterone levels which means it is ONLY good for masking very rudimentary UA samples and only for testosterone, not other analogs. Current testing methods would not be fooled by that.

B. Machida disclosed the supplement containing DHEA and it's banned with the same penalty as any real PED.

The only other option is that Machida and/or his team are really dumb and thought DHEA would get him a shorter suspension.

Machida is a smart guy. He did a really careless thing but, at this point, I'm leaning toward not masking.

They're all on steroids.
