Definitely seems to be making all the wrong moves, now he's saying he will ignore the IV ban

As for dodging the drug test in Brazil, or sorta dodging it, he's been at the top of my list of suspected steroid abusers for years. He's a brilliant fighter, but I think he's had some help from the needle.

As for the drug test, Aldo's team had every right to report the tester for not going through proper procedure. I wouldn't trust my career in the hands of some guy that can't identify himself either. Other than that I will never understand fans infatuation with who is and isn't using PEDs, too many of them are just into MMA for drama, it's not about the fights anymore.
TL;DR, **** Dana and fans.
"Just curious, what makes Aldo seem like a juicer?"
He thinks everyone is on the juice except GSP and Rory for whatever reason.

Or are you just trying to have a battle of wits with the Nomad?
Either way, you are stupid and lose.

"If a fighter chests, then the fan would have an interest on who is doing that."
I agree, we have the right to know if a fighter chests. The people want barrel chests not Telligman chest. I want everyone's bench press numbers on the Tale of the Tape.

The Brazilian regional scene is the most roided in a sport riddled with PEDs. Aldo carries a ton of muscle for a guy with his frame, so he's never looked natural to me. And that whole testing situation was completely ridiculous; it was a circus.

MMA in general has a PED problem, I just think Brazil's is bad. I'm sure Mongolia and China is as well.

Solid insight into the regional scene, and I've spent years (not recently) training in gyms. Brazilians, in my experience, have less of a problem with PEDs in general. My old BJJ instructor used to use them, which I was sorta shocked to learn, and said they're not really considered an issue there.
Take it or leave it. That's what I think. Doesn't bother me that people disagree, but go right ahead and keep thinking guys like Jacare and Aldo are clean when Anderson Silva wasn't.

Aldo literally said he has no issue with Anderson Silva using PEDs because he's not in his prime anymore. He's made countless statements along the same lines. He does not consider it cheating. But yeah, I'm sure that's just what he thinks about everyone else; he has no problem with others using roids, but he never would...
That whole Aldo testing situation in June was a circus. It has now been confirmed that Aldo and his management confirmed the agent as a representative of the NAC, and still felt the need to call the authorities. Anyways, just, like, my opinion, bro. Not sure why it upsets people.
He also is saying this week that he plans to ignore USADA rules on IV bans ... not PEDs, as I said above, but commonly used to mask blood doping.
I have no prove he uses, but I think he uses. If you don't, that's fine by me. Maybe history will prove one of us correct.

The Boston police department talks about it's corruption and links to fighting gyms:

So how's that wicked Boston Diet going?
