Peds, roids. TRT abuse punishments?

IMO all this shit is putting a damper on not only the events but the sport in general. I know its all over the sports world but when you got guys like thiago who fuck up and then come back to get a main event spot in sweden is BS in my book. Thoughts...............I say one in done at this point of the sport and maybe these guys will start to be serious about it.

It depends on the circumstances. Thiago likely used in order to recover from a serious back injury and be able to train/make a living by fighting.

He submitted fake urine so we will never know what kind of pills,roids or crack was in his system.

yeah I know this topic has a wide range but mostly focusing on guys like reem etc who clearly do things to have an advantage over the rest.

You get injured then bad luck. It gave him an unfair advantage over Vera.

What I hate most about Thiago's situation is we don't really know what was in his system. Since he did not submit a sample of his urine. I'm not taking his word on what he was using.

Lol, exactly. There is no way I can believe a word he says about it.

If you have no reason to believe he is telling the truth when he makes an admission, then what reason do you guys have for thinking he is lying about said admission?

Like Thiago wouldn't do the same thing to Vera 10 out of 10 times. I'm not saying he was right, I'm saying whatever "advantage" using whatever was negligible because roids or not he'd do the same exact thing.

Shrinkage is enough punishment.

Hmmm what does Thiago have to benefit from omitting certain substances? I don't care if the guy is known for being the most honest person to ever participate in his sport and I'm his biggest fan. I can't simply take his word on this subject. Obviously he isn't going to admit he had cocaine, HGH and jet fuel in his system. Pain pills getting over an injury is one of the most sympathetic scenarios possible. There are too many reasons why he would lie.

If they get a huge KO and we find out they were on roids they should get an additional bonus on top of their base salary and win money

just a year suspension everytime they test positive. No X amount of strikes and out crap. A year is a long time.

Couture spoke to MMA Frenzy about TRT and we have his comments after the jump...

Quote :

"There is such fine line with all of the anti-aging stuff that's out there now. TRT is generally something a guy does in their 40's and 50's when their natural production of testosterone drops off. There are other natural ways to boost your own body's production without replacing it and it's safer as well, but it still should be under the care of a physician," offered Couture on the topic. "It's a very fine and a very personal thing and there is no easy answer. An athlete is using his body to earn a living and entertain the fans, they want to get the most out of themselves, but sometimes they go too far with it."
