No suspension time listed yet but the comission are claiming it is consistent with the taking of a steroid.

Hm, he's possibly cut. If not the only thing saving him will be the lack of depth at 265.

i think it´s kinda funny when they cheat and they still lose, serves them well.

he has to be cut, he is 2-2 in the UFC and 2-4 in his last 6 fights, I didn´t had anything against him before but noew that he cheats and has a crappy record I don´t think he has a place in the UFC, besides he´ll propbably lose against anyone smart enough to take him down.

But if you are a good fighter PED's can make you a great fighter.

Kinda like the argument for baseball. "Steroids don't help you hit the ball." No, but if you're on steroids and hit the ball a pop fly turns into a homerun.

Of course, they are performance enhancers after all. My point is that they wont turn a scrub into a world beater but they could turn top 10 guy into a contender. You have to have the skill first though

LOL @ legz perfect.

Lavar would be great for Bellator , his lack of talent would fit in perfect with their HW's and his punching power might put him over the top. Thiago Santos would sub him but might be dumb enough to stand with him.

Any other weight class, he would be cut. But the UFC is lacking HWs. But I wouldn't be surprised if they cut him anyway.

Steroids help those already skilled much more. If you're not already skilled, they won't help you much.

@bill but they give you an unfair advantage in preparing for a fight, and maybe getting those skills you talked about.
