EPTAnd every1 seems to know this and then when 1 guy gets ''caught'' every1 is surprised and a witch hunt starts for that 1 guy.
Guess that's what we are seeing now again.
Rather unfortunate tho, really wanted to see Overeem with the ufc belt.

Bigger, Stronger, Faster is a great documentary about steroids-use and all the misconceptions around it. | ||

Steroids have been rampant in many sports for a while now. The public outcry over baseball is pretty silly IMO because it happens in hocky, and football you see doping and endurance boosters in other sports. | ||

He always seemed so genuine and in practically every interview he managed to convince people he was just genetically different and worked harder than everybody else. Also got to feel bad for legit Lesnar who came off his illness and retired after the Overeem fight. | ||

I imagine he thought this random test was NSAC giving him a call to go somewhere and piss and he could delay somehow for a few days before doing it. I wouldn't be surprised if a 10:1 T/E is Overeem only doing half what he normally does so he could lower his levels to 6:1 quicker. Maybe he even took epitestosterone before this presser but not enough. He's spent the vast majority of his HW career in places that do not drug test and he recently split with GG, who if anyone knows a thing or two about PEDs. After the circus that was his last random test I am just gonna assume he's just a bad cheater, but he'll learn soon enough It was reported today that the levels were actually 14:1. | ||

Actually I wish it was just accepted and we moved forward safely without fighters using PEDs dangerously trying to have wacky cycles and hide it. | ||

I am glad they test athletes and will always hope one day someone will be a top contender who will fight with morals and honor. Iv never been a fan of fador for example but more and more i see fighters i look up to fall to the side. i'm starting to respect the russian even more for what he has done. It sucks tho that when an athlethe needs to go into surgery or has injuries that he could power thro with banned substances to make his living they forbid him because its a PED. There should be a better line of whats banned and whats not, they are suspending people for weed ffs | ||

Your suppose to go to jail for having it(lets not debate weed here though please). Obviously its not gonna be allowed in a sport. Im sure if its ever legalized they ill stop caring if you use it. Dana Whites press conference about the UFC card coming up was held hours after he found out about the failed test and in typical Dana White fashion, he did not censor himself. Its why hes the best boss in the USA | ||

And from what I understand, even if his B-sample came up with normal ratios, he would still have to explain away the first test to the commission to get licensed for the UFC 146 fight. And I can't imagine how he is possibly going to manage that. | ||

Is there really no way he could get to the testosterone levels with his physique, clean bodybuilding diet and hard training the natural way? I mean the guy trains twice a day (and I bet he squats/deadlifts like a mofo) for crying out loud and with above mentioned things I can imagine he would have a MUCH higher testosterone level then an average guy? overtraining leads to LESS testosterone. eating a clean bodybuilding diet doesn't increase testosterone levels. what were his actual levels? average is 250-900ng/dL in 18-30yr old men. taking 250mg of testosterone enanthate (no fighter would use this close to a fight, propionate has a much lower half-life, but mg/mg levels are somewhat close) gives someone ~1k+ng/dL levels. 500mg/wk would result in upwards of 2kng/dL. let's just say i'm "in the know" when it comes to steroids. what fighters would generally use would be a combination of (not all of these are steroids): clenbuterol (weight loss) t3/t4 (thyroid drug - weight loss) test propionate (short ester testosterone) anavar (pill) turinabol (pill) and MAYBE trenbolone acetate. | ||

 I know it's a terrible attitude, but why couldn't they find him guilty after the fight >< | ||
