Why would USADA test someone knowing the results wont be back before the fight?

[mb23100]

This makes zero sense.

 

[Degen Gambler]

USADA gives zero fucks

 

[Sjb1888]

Because catching them afterwards is better than not at all.

 

[Pacemaker Joe]

Because having a window where the athletes know they aren't subject to testing is a very obvious hole in the anti-doping policy that would be exploited.

 

[Pliny Pete]

They tested Brock as soon as he was available for testing
Should they not have tested him at all?

 

[JSN]

Yeah they should do away with testing on the day of the fight. Oh wait...

 

[Death By Samson]

So they should not do a post fight test either?

 

[chiefwiggum]

I just don't see how these tests take so long to get back.

 

[mb23100]

They tested Brock as soon as he was available for testing
Should they not have tested him at all?

No he shouldve had to wait to compete until the results were in

 

[mb23100]

I just don't see how these tests take so long to get back.

Seriously

So they should not do a post fight test either?

Not following your logic

 

[Pliny Pete]

No he shouldve had to wait to compete until the results were in

Thats not USADAs responsibility though, youre mad at the wrong people here

 

[PabloBassquez]

I just don't see how these tests take so long to get back.

Depending on who you are they may take a little longer to get back if say.....there gonna loose even more millions

 

[nostradumbass]

No he shouldve had to wait to compete until the results were in

And what happens during that time between waiting and competing? Just a free PED window?

 

[Deleted member 490433]

First of all they test them way before and after the fight too and if they set those parameters fighters would just use PED's a week before the fight or a day before. They can't set any type of predictable pattern.

If you don't see it by now, as many times as it's been explained around here, then you clearly aren't interested in finding out.

 

[mb23100]

And what happens during that time between waiting and competing? Just a free PED window?

No theres a post fight test

 

[flurbi**]

No theres a post fight test

Seriously bro, its funny how you're not getting it

Yeah because they conspired to keep Brock on the card, who many casuals didn't even know was fighting at UFC200, but let Jones get tossed with the rematch of his highest ppv buyrate ever hanging in the balance on UFC 200. Makes perfect sense, right?

 

[mb23100]

Seriously bro, its funny how you're not getting it

I guess im not

 

[scorpipede]

Because catching them afterwards is better than not at all.

this is true. The thing is it's supposed to be a random test for fighters that are either in competition or out, isn't it? It's done regardless of if they have a fight on tap. Do I misunderstand?
