It means traces of testosterone that wasn't produced by his body.


I'd assume testosterone is a specified substances. He probably escaped a 2 year ban because it happened before the July 1st date.

Yeah id say so, was just curious because of the new rules. Fairly **** seeing all these fighters i loved getting popped for juice.

Getting caught in your post fight test is bloody stupid. In other news Ryan Jimmo has been released, you don't toe the party line and lose you get cut. They tried to sneak that in during the craziest week of the year.

Details of Aldo's drug test debacle
http://espn.go.com/blog/mma/post/_/id/22206/collection-reports-detail-jose-aldos-random-drug-test-last-month

This sounds like the dodgiest thing ever, hard to believe they weren't trying to hide something. Aldo had 2 days notice practically (and still delayed), so much for random testing. This whole thing stinks.

Some guys on reddit were suggesting that you 24+ hours is more than enough time for modern compounds to be come undetectable.
I've no idea how true that it though. A lot of urban legends in relation to PEDs

I'd be inclined to believe it, the only thing more advanced in sport than drug testing are the ways to pass drug testing, lance armstrong never pissed green and yet he was souped up the whole time

That's pretty much my thinking too.
Apparently the cyclists using all sorts delay testers tiny amounts

It's not as simple as take a magic pill and and its clear in a day or two.
They need keep it in their system for the whole time during a "cycle", which could be 8 weeks. So they take every day. Hence why the fail rate is much higher in random tests.

The guys who get caught on fight night are usually lower on the card. Basically they used a longer acting steroid (less frequent injections, more sustained release), knowing they wouldn't be randomly tested, but thinking it cleared in time.
Also I imagine the "generic steroids" are much easier to come by than the the designer stuff. It's not like you can just ask Victor Conte for a hook up anymore


Mods:
Not sure if this nest bit is against the rules. Feel free to delete. It's from a website about TRT for men.

Testosterone Propionate wrote:

In comparison to testosterone enanthate and testosterone cypionate, testosterone propionate is a faster-acting form of the androgen testosterone. Testosterone propionate possesses a half-life of roughly 1-2 days. Therefore, testosterone propionate does not provide a sustained release. Due to this short half-life, it must be injected every other day or every third day. As a result, it is rarely used for TRT.

http://elitemensguide.com/testosterone-injections/#Common_Esters_Available_for_Testosterone_Injections

Testosterone Propionate is around since the 1950s or earlier. It's not a huge stretch to think they've developed faster acting compounds since then.

Beersmith

Maybe not but perhaps they are using masking agents

Hazys

Dana White reiterated today that Aldo's rib was not broken and he was cleared by 3 non UFC doctors and that Aldo refused to fly to Vegas to even watch the fight where he could be checked out my a UFC doctor.

The X-ray he was posting was showing an old injury not a fresh fracture.

The real concern was making weight if he cant train properly, which is somewhat fair enough but each incident from the drug test issue, dropping out of 5 fights to posting misleading X-rays has Aldo's looking more and more sketchy and the less sympathy people should feel for him that an interim belt fight was forced.

I'm afraid to go into the official 189 thread because of all the bull****ters.

Delighted for Conor he's as deadly as Anderson was at his peak.
Great that Robbie Lawler won too. Nelson looked brilliant on the ground.

Mod: Read the charter and stick to the main thread. USE SPOILERS.

TUF Faber McGregor will be amazing! UFC are really milking McGregor while they can.I just hope he gets a long well deserved rest after the surgery on his knee. He looked mentally shattered after the fight.

CurryFlavoured

John Kavanagh trying to push Gunni vs Thomson for ufc Dublin main event after his KO last night. Would be a very good main event and another chance for Gunni to jump up the ladder.

I initially thought you meant TUF :P

CM24

Has anyone actually heard confirmation that McGregor's knee is injured? Is it the same knee as before? Would be awful if it hinders his movement for the rest of his career. He can take MMA to new heights as long as the knee holds up.
