The IV ban is the first part of ending the insane weight cut cold war, unfortunately Johny Hendricks died in a proxy conflict

And you won’t know if they’re diluting unless they still fail for banned compounds. IMO the only real benefit is to make it harder to make gigantic weight cuts. Fighters should get an arm equivalent of the fake dick for passing drug tests. The doc sticks the fake arm and pulls the fake blood.

Banning one thing that made it easier to do safely less so. It'd be like the NFL going 'well, we understand enormous people smashing into each other is dangerous, so we'll get rid of helmets. That way people will be less willing to smash into each other.' I mean, people here have stories about people still draining themselves for one day weigh ins in college wrestling. It's not an advantage people want to give up.

Regardless, I think when you're told that they are banned, the best course of action is not to go to a press conference and say into a mic,"I'm going to do it anyway, how will they ever know?" because I'm pretty sure they're gonna vaguely suspect something might be up after that.

Well, he never got caught. So...maybe he was right?

I know Big Nog did, and it was really nice to see him on the Fight Pass show being all smiley and hanging around other martial arts schools, finally able to walk again. Just on Fight Pass, does anyone know how to run the 24/7 stream on the apple TV app?

I can't wait for a future where PED's have been mostly phased out and some misguided youngster injects himself with microscopic pieces of IV bag hoping for an unfair advantage.

The basic level of knowledge regular gym rats have about drug regimens and the trend towards developing therapeutic antibodies for relatively minor medical conditions is going to lead to some wild, wild poo poo in the next few years
