If you believe the UFC was unaware of this positive test prior to the Diaz fight, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

The UFC has condoned PED use for years with their backroom, performance based bonus's.

They set Diaz up to lose from the beginning by putting a welterweight in with the former Middleweight King and put him in with a guy who they knew was using PEDs.

The idea was to give Anderson an easy route to Weidman vs Silva 3, which is why the UFC is currently attempting to screw Belfort out of his title shot.

This entire sport is crooked and this is only a small glimpse of the behind the scenes madness the Fertitta's will push in order to make their bank accounts swell.

"When the guys test for the steroids, (they should have) no more fights," Silva said.

"When you use the steroids, you use them for a long time. When you use the steroids for a long time, you have a problem. It’s a drug and it’s not good for the sport."

UFC/K-1/Pride whatever: on or off drugs makes all the difference, just as in bodybuilding. Overeem or badr hari as naturals don't stand much of a chance, as they will lose 40 lbs of muscle. Years ago Kevin randleman wouldn't haven been able to lift and throw Emelianenko without being on steroids...

If the UFC "knew" Anderson was using AAS then how were they setting him up to win and Diaz to lose? All the fighters are tested now. If they knew Silva was on AAS then they should also know he would be caught and his career severely tarnished if not ruined.

“I’ve been competing in this sport for a very long time. This is my nineteenth fight in the UFC. I have been thoroughly tested many times and have never had a positive drug test,” said Silva.

“I have not taken any performance enhancing drugs. My stance on drugs is, and will always be, the same. I’m an advocate for a clean sport,” he continued.

“I’m consulting with my advisors right now to explore all of my options and intend to fight this allegation and clear my name. I will not make any further comments until my team advises me to do so.”

Dana White Backs Anderson Silva, Keeps Him as TUF Brazil 4 Coach

Quote
“Anderson Silva has been one of the greatest athletes this sport has ever seen. He has had a long and distinguished career in mixed martial arts. In his nine years with the UFC, Anderson has never tested positive for a banned substance,” said White.

“In light of this, we want to ensure that Anderson gets his due process and we will support him during this time. While this process plays out, Anderson will continue in his role as coach of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil. Of course we will continue to monitor the actions of the Nevada State Athletic Commission,” he continued.

At first I felt that steroid testing in MMA was retarded. Then, I watched an MMA program with an open debate from various doctors, scientists and MMA officials. Since steroids make a fighter stronger, the real concern deals with increased striking power.
 The fear is that in later rounds, a tired fighter could be struck and killed by the increased power of a juiced fighter.

At least THAT makes sense from a legit safety point of view.
BUT, it's cage fighting and the goal is to beat the fuk out of each other...so wtf?

UFC is not cagefighting, they've arguably moved away from that side of the sport, if they indeed were ever active in that side of 'the sport'. The many rules and regulations in place, not just pertaining to substance (ab)use, are evidence of that.
For example; No knees to a downed opponent, no upkicks (depending on circumstances), no 12-to-6 elbows, etc.  (all the while downward kicks to the knee are still legal ??!?!)

The focus on greater fighter safety is good in the sense that it provides a better future outlook and prolonged carreer for the fighters, however, if you get into the hurt game, there are some risks you willingly take imo.

It seems like there is currently a lack of punching power.... finishing power.

So many fights go the distance; and judges have to render a decision.
Title: Re: Anderson Silva tests positive for Steroids
Post by: Sokolsky on February 12, 2015, 01:03:06 PM
That begins to sum up why they felt the steroid ban was valid in MMA  now.

My stance is pretty much the same with any top-tier sport; It is reasonable to assume that regardless of amounts of talent, those at the top will all be using 'enhancers' as when a lot is at stake and your career depends on success (as in; winning), why would you risk underperforming*? Therefore, knowing everyone is using something, why single-out and scapegoat a few?


In the end, we all watch top sports because we want to see out of the ordinary performances, spectacles, things we or those around us would not easily do. Nobody wants to see fat slobs posing in a thong on stage, nobody wants to see sprinters run high 20's on the 100m, nobody wants to see a 120kg snatch and a 150 clean and jerk. Steroid-bashers are the worst kind of hypocrits.

Really, when an athlete makes the choice to compete at a top level, they know what it takes, they know what it involves. Personally I don't feel doctors or the general public should interfere in that regard. It's sad we have old-school boxers now walking around with braindamage, but it happens, that's what they choose. Unless a two-division league is set up for each and every professional sport, a drug-free and an open-class, I don't see any of these poor efforts to 'tackle' substance abuse prevail.


*Look at for example actors; When an actor is cast for a bodybuilding role, and he's expected to come in looking in tip-top shape, big, muscular, vascular, etc. do you really think they would pass-up the deal because they have moral-issues against using steroids? I'm sure there are some, but at the end of the day, it's their livelihood.

BUT NOT KILL EACHOTHER!

Having fighters fight without serious injury is optimal, since otherwise they'd be benched for a long while due to recuperating from injiury.

It's a business and they want to make money (both the Fighters and the Fertittas, mostly Fertittas).

Having Fighters sidelined due to injury is NEVER good for business.

Yiu'd want your favorite fighters (as a fan and bettingman) fight as much as possible per year. Not just one-two and then be injured and out one-two years after.

It's fighting for fucks sake,and no fighter has ever been killed in a UFC event. Also it could be argued it is the accumulative damage that is the problem, so fighters on PED's finish fights quicker thereby reducing the potential for injury to their opponent, see so PED's are good for the sport. And if both fighters are juiced well then the playing field is leveled isn't it, so while your opponent may hit harder, you are also bigger and stronger and better able to take damage.

We should really stop perpetuating this myth of an ' level playing field ' It's a flat out lie , certain people will always hold an advantage over another , that's just how genetics work. Two people on PEDs doesn't make it any more ' level '

This witch hunt with PEDs needs to end , they need to legalize them for use and all athletes should be allowed to use responsibly.

I think you are taking the term 'level playing field' to literally.  It means both athletes are given the same opportunity, of course no two athletes are equal, that's why we hold competitions, to see who is better.
