What is Current PED testing?

[marvinparsons]

I'm not making any allegations, but it seems like nobody has tested positive in awhile, unless I'm wrong? What's the story post USADA in terms of testing?

A lot of guys are looking like they are in the best shape of their career, even guys that have been around for awhile, so not sure if that's part of the explanation.

Combat Sports Anti-Doping, or "See Sad" as I call them. They've busted a few prelims guys, but that's about it. Way more lenient than early USADA, it seems.

I believe the company handling the program handles other American sports as well. Look at photos of those athletes and you begin to understand that they're nothing like USADA.

Basically fighters pee in Dana's mouth and if he swallows, then you're good to go

are you familiar with "the honor system"

Don´t ask don´t tell

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

If your test comes back clean, they cut you…

 

[MisfitsBR]

I don't know exactly how it's working, but Chandler on the episode 4 of embedded said that he was going to do drug test and had to pee...

As long as you don't steal their phones and say you could beat them up you will have a test and that will be that.

"Hey you are not using peds right?"

"What? Nah."

"You pass!"

Either test everyone equally, or test no one. If they wanted to catch all dopers, they could. They clearly don’t. Just make them legal.

neglected to mention that it was scheduled 2 weeks in advance, but hey it's a start

Once upon a time there was an MMA org which literally wrote in their fighters contracts:

"We will not test you for anabolic steroids."

And low and behold... it was fucking awesome.

That’s what I’m talking bout.
Let them juice, bro!

I believe they have gone back to their previous method of testing like when it was under the athletic commission.

Called NADA testing.

 

[Ara tech]

There are many ways known to bypass doping tests, USADA or others included, especially with micro dosing or taking X substance to conceal Y substance in the body.

I don't mind getting a few guys busted for steroids time to time at all.

Smaller organizations do not have that luxury to be selective and will likely accept everyone, steroids or not, by pretending to look the other way. Doping is a disease that need to be fought, especially at the top, it gives an unfair advantage and is harming health.

USADA was better though.

I can only hope it's as loose and unregulated as it seems. No one seems to have much real information on it

 

[Neck&Neck]

They keep it more quiet now
They don’t announce everything like they did in the past
A fighter could pop and just sit out quietly for extended period
