Why aren't Paulo Costa's recent wins overturned to no contests?

[LoadedZeus]

It makes no sense to me. The use of an IV compared to a fighter who doesn't use it can lead to a huge weight advantage, and to be honest, thats what it looked like against every opponent Costa faced, Costa looked double the size of every 185er hes faced so far.

So theres evidence tied to him using an IV in possibly his last two fights, so why are they not overturned decisions? He had an unfair advantage against those opponents and took away their chances at progressing in the division as well. The losing fighters should have legal claim to dispute those losses as use of an IV is strictly prohibited. Thats bullshit if you ask me, every fight where an IV was used should be a no contest.

On top of all that, he hasnt fought since August 2018, so his reduced suspension is already up. They literally discovered this days ago and he is eligible to compete. He can snitch all he wants, but you want to respect a fighter who purposely cheated behind the scenes then when caught, proceeded to snitch on others to save face? I will never be fan.

Just for the sake of USADA and their legitimacy, this is just nuts if those wins stay the way they are. As a fighter, I would take USADA to court with the premise that all PEDs are not actually tested when they are expected to, with consequences that lead to a possible serious detriment on their mental and physical health, as well as the fact that they have to deal with the serious effects of losses due to USADA failing to properly serve justice to fighters affected.

Because he’s clean and innocent get over it

He's a jacked brazilian boy, deal with it

You take testing and this sport in general way too seriously. Overturning the wins means nothing, USADA has already proven to be completely corrupt/inconsistent, and all pro athletes are on something regardless of whether it 1) shows up on a test or not and 2) it's arbitrarily considered a "banned" substance.

Sorry to break it to you but all fighters who don't test positive aren't just drinking whey proteins shakes to perform at that level. Being on 30+ kinds of supplements = unnatural regardless of whether or not they're "legal".

That'll be an ignore from me, TS. Cry somewhere else

I don’t know what you’re talking about. You can complain about the assistance reduction but the rest makes no sense.

Your right...100%

But USADA is the same organization that allows Jones to still compete...knowing what we know about jones

So i wouldn't hold my breathe for them to do the right thing..

 

[WOW]

There shouldn't be any testing, it's sports entertainment

They allow anyone who shows the pattern of m3 like jones to fight.

 

[linch]

There's a test that can show whether a fighter has used iv or not (i don't know what's the timeframe within which you can detect this).
Usada doesn't need a video of someone using iv, they should regularly test fighters for iv usage.
I don't know exactly how they detect this but I heard they can detect plastic molecules from the iv bag or something like that.

you try too hard, kid.
IV does not give a "huge advantage"
The reason it is forbidden it is because it could mask PED's. But it is obvious that he was tested and didn't take PED's, so they gave him 6 months for using IV.

SO please stop being a dishonest hater. you are simply wrong.

 

[venivedivici]

As long as Jones is allowed to fight dirty.. EVERYONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED

 

[WHITE ANDERSON]

overturn BJ Penn's wins too that guy is another IV cheat

 

[Lint]

1. Because like everyone else he's doing it.
2. Don't imply someone is cheating unless you have proof, otherwise you'll get banned.

All that USADA for nada.
