Silva was tested on Jan. 9, Jan. 19 and Jan. 31 -- all blood and urine tests. Results of the out-of-competition Jan. 19 test are currently unavailable.


oh man that sucks.
I guess the only result that really matters in my mind is the Jan 31 one where he fought Diaz.

How could Silva not know he'd be tested?!

sigh.. his great career is now a little bit tarnished

Diaz failed post fight test for MJ, rofl.

LOL is anyone shocked that Diaz failed with MJ? i think i would more surprised if he didn't have it.

Can't wait to hear what UFC says about this..

I know lol. I'd have been more surprised if he wasn't constantly smoking weed.

Silva is denying he took the drugs.

Apparently, wasn't there multiple tests done after the initial test he failed? Besides that, I'm sure he could easily get some doctor in Brazil to testify it was only during his treatment / surgery or something. I mean, it isn't like Brazil is a beacon of noncorruption.

3 drug tests were done before his jan 31 fight. All of the results will come in AFTER the fight.

how long do steroids stay in your system?
if he was drugging, then I hope he was smart and stopped right after the 1st drug test!

I think because of the way the testing is done, it takes awhile before they come in. The 19th results should be coming in soon I guess? And, in a few weeks, we will know what he tested for on the fight day.

 

[JEDI]

btw- are ALL ufc fighters that are on PPV drug tested? or just those in the main event?

I believe everyone gets a post fight (in competition) test. The out of competition ones are random.

Remember when fedor was supposed to fight barnett? That test came in before the event, it doesn't take long to do these tests. Someone is muzzling NSAC to report them after the event... http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f2/reminder-lorenzo-fertitta-commissioner-nsac-2931757/

Another failed drug test, its John Fitch, so no big deal.

Yah just saw that. Lulz.

People rag on Mayweather and GSP wanting more testing but then we get stuff like this.

I am fully in support of GSP on the testing thing.

Odds are gsp left because he knew he'd get caught, just look at his stomach

I highly doubt GSP was doping. He was calling for harder testing even while he was fighting.

The reason he retired was part because of the lack of testing and the pressure.


his stomach says nothing. besides the fact he works out a lot. Though now most of his training is in gymnastics.

I think, while he won't admit it, GSP retired because he know he'd eventually stop being able to compete with younger fighters who are doping. I mean, we see it all the time. Look at Barry Bonds. He had a HoF career before any allegations. But, to continue to push and stay the best, he had to dope.

Fuck so lazy but it seems with what me not doing anything has let the topic rot into stupidity.
