Anyone know if there will be a court action? Seems like the right thing to do, nearly derailed his title run.
 
Highly unlikely. The costs of losing the case coupled with the chance it was probably just an excuse made by Romero lead me to think no.

Actually I read where he is planning to take legal action, might just be for show though.

Problem with a lawsuit is you open yourself up to true discovery of the facts, also you have to go under oath which can lead to perjury if you misrepresent yourself or the truth.

IMO he will come up with saying something like he is happy to move forward with his career and he is leaving the issue behind. Would probably be what is best for him and definitely what I would advise from a legal perspective.
 
more like, nearly ended his career, thing is he is probably not that clean and if he sues this company this might be brought to light so no he won't

That's good to hear and it will set a precedent if he wins. If companies sell products that don't list ingredients that causes a person harm, either physically or financially, then they should be liable and I'm thinking(no lawyer here) that they are....
 
I think we can safely assume that he knew exactly what was in said supplements.

That's really fucked up. USADA was way too lenient on this one. Part of the agreement should have been to take legal action against the supplement company if Romero wants to fight in an UFC cage again.
 
Those darn tainted supplements. Always out to make fighters look bad.
 
Yoel is clean and will be the new MW champ by years end
 
He'll wait in the parking lot for the CEO to finish his work day.

Then its "no mas" time.

I'm no lawyer either but based on what I do know I disagree. It would be nearly impossible to prove intentional contamination IMO. There is a high burden of proof in that scenario.

Honestly he would be wise to take his wrist slap and move on. He is getting off lightly as is. A 2 year ban probably would have ended his career now he is back within a fairly normal timeline. Guy got off easy in my book.
 
Romero is so lucky, with this tainted supplement myth. lots of people had been suspicious about him for years, many other fighters were.

I don't know what kind of action they can take in that regard. But I would actually consider Yoel lucky more than USADA lenient. They have their bylaws and codes and a contamination of supplements supports a 6 month ban. If they dropped the hammer Yoel could have taken his case to arbitration. This way he has to serve a little time and USADA can say their work is producing results. It's a win win.

He's been suspicious even before he started on MMA. people want to believe he had nothing to do with it but is just there for everyone to see. Weird how none of the "He looks bigger" or "He looks smaller than before" assumptions don't happen with Romero.
 
I would guess that it isn't possible to sue an imaginary company. Maybe he will do an imaginary lawsuit :)
 
lol fuck off. Maybe Jon Jones should sue El Chapo for hitting pregnant bitches.
