over 85% of UFC fighters juice. Whats wrong with using some deca to help with the joints? or some HGH to heal up an ijury faster? or some test to help stay sane while trying to diet and train the hardest you ever have at the same time? see nothing wrong with gear in sports, if they over do it they end up a negative, but moderate dosages can help keep a body healthy, which is important when your body is your money maker. There is far more gear in profesional aports than any of us thinks.
dang no wonder it seemed he had alot of gas in every round!
I agree that most UFC athletes are probably on something, and only the ones stupid enough to use something like Deca ( Like Sonnen ) get caught.
I don't think its OK though, a fighter on AAS is no different than a fighter who loads his gloves. You really think they're juicing to heal an injury faster or using some test just for a mental advantage?
They're ****ing using AAS to get an advantage in the ring or cage WHEN THEY FIGHT. You think Sonnen putting up a fight like that had nothing to do with him being on the juice?
You think you don't have an advantage when you fight a guy who's clean?
All I see here is someone trying to minimize and justify their own use..... I don't have a problem with AAS in bodybuilding or powerlifting, or just for normal guys doing it for kicks in the gym.
I do have a big problem with it in combat sports though....... It defeats the whole warrior mentality and mutual respect that fighters should have for each other.

I wonder if this was the reason he was so confident going into the Silva fight....he must have had some "guru"telling him he could beat the test in some manner.Why would he be using deca?Either that or these small gloves really are having an effect...![]()
It was elevated levels of test.
I don't think they have confirmed what Sonnen was using.
"Dodd did not state which banned substance was red-flagged, but with a clean drugs-of-abuse scan it is clear the positive test was for a performance-enhancing substance. " -sherdog
Otherwise, yea, I agree.
This really sucks, cause Silva-Sonnen 2 would be a great fight.
I don't think AAS helped him in the fight that much.
Silva doesn't become a subpar fighter just because Sonnen used a little gear.
I lost 20 pounds...How? I drank bear piss and took up fencing. How the **** you think, son? I exercised.
