| and it wasnt VItor Belfort UPDATE: http://www.tatame.com.br/exclusivo-thiago-tavares-e-pego-no-antidoping-e-e-suspenso-por-nove-meses/Google translate: - Quote :
- After many rumors, the results of the doping tests from UFC in Sao Paulo are in. TATAME found, the name of the failed athlete is Thiago Tavares. Our sources, however, need not know the substance used for light weight. His suspension will be nine months.
Over a 10 year career, this is the first time that Tavares is caught in a doping test. After two consecutive wins, both in Rio de Janeiro, the athlete from Santa Catarina was defeated by Khabib Nurmagomedov in Sao Paulo. Besides Thiago seven athletes were tested by the newly created Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission. | |

- UFC reveals Vitor Belfort used testosterone replacement therapy for UFC on FX 7
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Feb 06, 2013 at 1:25 pm ET
UFC officials today answered the question Vitor Belfort refused to address: Yes, "The Phenom" did use testosterone replacement therapy in advance of his UFC on FX 7 win over Michael Bisping.
UFC officials today revealed Belfort was granted a therapeutic-use exemption for testosterone replacement therapy prior to the bout and that his post-fight drug screen "did not indicate the presence of any prohibited substance for increasing performance improvement."
Belfort and Bisping headlined the Jan. 19 event, which took place at Sao Paulo's Ibirapuera Gymnasium. The Brazilian scored a second-round TKO over the Brit and then proceeded to call for a rematch with current light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
All 22 fighters who competed on the card were tested for performance-enhancing drugs and drugs of abuse, and the UFC this past week confirmed one test result in an "irregular" finding, which led to speculation that Belfort – who in 2006 was suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after testing positive for the anabolic steroid 4-Hydroxytestosterone – was the culprit.
However, as UFC President Dana White promised following this past weekend's UFC 156 event, that was not the case. Instead, the failed result belonged to lightweight Thaigo Tavares, who was suspended for nine months.
"To dispel rumors that have been circulated, Zuffa wishes to clarify that Vitor Belfort’s drug test results were negative and did not indicate the presence of any performance enhancing drugs," a statement from Zuffa read.
Still, Belfort's use of testosterone is sure to raise a few eyebrows. However, UFC officials said the fighter has been diagnosed with hypogonadism, the same condition that allowed Chael Sonnen to receive prior exemptions, and that Belfort's levels have been properly monitored by a Nevada physician.
UFC on FX 7 marked the regulatory debut of the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA), which is part of the upstart International Mixed Martial Arts Federation. (UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner, whom the Brazilian commission shadowed during the UFC's three prior events in the country, chairs the IMMAF's technical committee.)
Belfort, who's recently dodged questions about his potential use of testosterone-replacement therapy, addressed reporters prior to Saturday's UFC 156 event in Brazil and dismissed the rumors of the failed drug test.
"I think people get jealous when a guy at my age is destroying these people getting title shots," he said. " ... I think when you look good, the tendency of people to judge you and criticize you is bigger because it sells [newspapers]. See, we're talking about this, but I had a great performance, and we're spending more time talking about the controversy than my performance." http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/02/ufc-reveals-vitor-belfort-used-testosterone-replacement-therapy-for-ufc-on-fx-7 | |

| I'm shocked Bisping hasn't been all over the web whining like a bitch. Vitor's levels were normal but Bisping will spin this into a way to make him look like a victim. | |

Well he did his fair share of bitching before the fight about TRT and Vitor being on it. | |
