btw if anybody wants to read the wada technical documents so you can try to figure out loopholes in the tests from your sa-mart steroids, pills, powders etc here's the master list https://wada-main-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/resources/files/wada-td2016-index-v2.0.pdf just google the document numbers and knock yaselves out

What happens to the fighter if, for some reason, their piss sample (if no other issues are detected and collection goes forward without issue) 'spoils', or only pops on 1 method of testing which isn't repeatable across any other analysis? I wonder if only because if they genuinely do not test your B sample at the same time as the A sample, and store it under certain conditions, it might be possible to consume enough of (radioactive i think) something (forgot what my graduate advanced inorganic/organic lab overseer mentioned specifically the days we used ran our own piss through the mass spec) which doesn't fare well in certain colder temperature/pressure conditions in solution with stuff you normally piss out that enough time might pass to the point where standard radiation might have altered enough of whatever you're trying to hide that it slips past standard GC mass spec analysis. Obviously even if this were true, and enough time elapsed, it's very much random chance which dictates whether your sample passes the GC analysis. Even assuming this were all possible, the timing of your radioactive substance ingestion would have to be perfectly calculated, and anything radioactive enough and in ways which alter large, complex molecules like the kind they're testing would wreak absolute havok on all of your organ systems. That assumes you excrete it fast and completely enough that your body is able to eliminate the substance before it has passed through your kidneys and liver and blood vessels a sufficient number of times that even probabilistically you're going to get cancer or something awful no matter what.

That's what's odd about this whole thing. If anyone else fought a guy from the weightclass above, and that guy was clearly better than them at everything except power shots, and fought them in a contest at a weightclass above that, how surprised would any of us be at the outcome?

Like I get that people always say that Nate isn't a proper welterweight but that doesn't work in Conors favour, much like how Anderson wouldn't have any more chance of beating Cormier at heavyweight because Cormier is LHW champ.

TLDR - Conor is BJ Penn 2.0. To da death Nate, to da death.

Conor wants money, for one, and for two believes in himself like no one else which is probably why he'll always bounce back. God i love your poo poo tho

I get why Conor is deluded and has a limitless well of self-esteem, I just get confused when anyone else goes along with it and picks him to win against Nate. He won't win, and then Aldo will take the title back and we will all wonder if the last two or three years were just a mad fever dream.

To get big and ripped obviously. I take all my life advice from Phil Baroni.

Seriously though, I'm on prescription TRT, in Canada no less where TRT is commonly thought to be guaranteed ball cancer among our medical community and is legendarily difficult to find a competent doctor to prescribe. In my 20's I was juiced to the tits on bathtub roids from China which, in combination with countless concussions, probably is why my balls got a bit busted and TRT helps bring me up to optimal levels. I was initially wrongly diagnosed with depression, because depression and low testosterone are almost 1:1 in symptoms, so the TRT not only helps me stay strong and horny as a teenager into my 30's, it more importantly keeps my mood and energy high. If any dudes out there are on SSRI's, go get a blood test for your T levels and do your research!

Truthfully the side effects of legit and moderate steroid use are pretty mild, but people rarely just use testosterone and when you start stacking a billion different drugs in huge doses, you get freakshows that die of heart attacks. Also junk gear from sketch sources could be filled with God knows what. I had a whole vial of some garbage from India that caused massive inflammations on my quads whenever I injected it, like hand-sized red burning welts that completely locked my leg up from the hip down.

I've been blast/cruising since I was young and yeah this is basically true. Generally it's fairly easy to know when someone is producing obviously tainted gear because the internet is no longer just one massive echo chamber for 1 or 2 established sources (though 9/10 roid forums are setup to funnel money from idiots into the pockets of a couple of longstanding labs who produce stuff that's more under-dosed than your typical stuff). The thing is that doses nowadays (esp the ones you see people running) are almost always under-dosed by AT LEAST 20% and that's not even usually by direct design, because everyone buys powder from the same 1 or 2 guys (not hard and 100x less expensive to brew than buy) and unless your guys are trying to compensate for the weak Chinese powder you need to basically double the dose anyway.

If MMA was music, it would have to be rap. Not only is individualism at the forefront of the sport and the genre, but both encompass a unique aesthetic that blends gritty toughness with technical artistry; the word “art” is one-third of MMA, and if we are being honest, rap at its best is everything poetry wishes to be. It is only right then to anoint the greatest MMA fighters in each division by comparing them to the rap albums that best encapsulate their fighting styles, personalities and careers.
