Either (1) the current drug tests that are run are effective, therefore we have a good system, and those cheating will be caught. Or (2) There are ways to get past the drug tests, therefore loads of people probably cheat, therefore I don't care about individual cases unless there is realistically indisputable evidence that they're cheating (such as a failed drug test with no excuses given).

Either way, I'm not fussed about fighters that may or may not be cheating as far as I know. Drug tests solve the issue regardless of whether (1) or (2) is true. It solves (2) to a lesser extent since cheating is still going on, and while many would probably be cheating in that scenario, not everyone would be cheating.

Really? You seem mad, bro. Baseless allegations of steroid use makes me think you're sipping some sour g****s. Let me guess -- you picked Diaz?

Those types of allegations should not be thrown around like that.  Remember, he is only 21.  Young athletes break out dude.  $hit, I'm 30 and still get a few here and there.

And lmao off @ you thinking steroids = his team developing and implementing a smart game plan. Leg kicks and staying out of Diaz's strong areas = steroids, of course.

Joker this is a completely baseless accusation. There's really nothing to talk about here and we don't want to have a forum where fighters are being randomly accused of roiding just because they have acne.

Last time someone pulled this accusation, it was on Sonnen, and that turned out to be true. I doubt it though, Macdonald always had the skills to tool Diaz, and he did. Both Diaz's are way over rated, and Macdonald not only out wrestled him, he outstruck him, and beat him up the whole time. Great performance by Macdonald, I was really glad to see him throw that fool around, especially after the taunts.

I bet if i made a thread after the Silva v Sonnen fight saying Sonnen was on roids for dominating Silva every round. You guys would think im crazy. But come to find out Sonnen was on something. If im wrong we have nothing to worry about right?

saying he is on steroids is just like saying he isnt on steroids unless you know his every move, so everyone is slandering?

No, give it up, and I suggest you stop make any more accusations like this if you want to keep using the site.

Seriously, he's 21 years old, and he spends countless hours a week sweating profusely and rolling in training.  Are steroids really the only explanation for a flare up of acne? Really? Some people just have bad skin.  Tapology has been a great place to go to for discussions WITHOUT fighter bashing and senseless stuff like this.  I don't think anyone wants this kind of stuff here.
