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

Bottom line is, PEDs are obviously a huge problem in the sport. I know I dump on the Brazil scene, but it's just the most obvious one to me based on the eye test. They're all bad. That's just one of the worst ones IMO.

I'm gonna dump on the Canadian scene because it's the most obvious one to me based on my eye test. I have 20/20 vision mind you.

"Aldo carries a ton of muscle for a guy with his frame, so he's never looked natural to me."

And these guys here, do they look natural to you?


Aldo doesn't look more muscular than Mendes and McGregor. Why is only him on PEDs?

Just my opinion, dudes. I don't think McG looks very bulky. Ripped? Yes. Not bulky. Mendes is stocky as hell. Aldo isn't very stocky but has a ton of muscle mass. 

Based on how he looks coupled with recent actions and past/frequent comments of his regarding PEDs. Pictures are coo. I don't think the eye test works ... mine or anyone else's, but I can have an opinion on guys I suspect. You can be on a high horse, but don't tell me you didn't see the Lombard bust coming based solely on the eye test. 

But I'm done with the topic. 

Stirred up a hornet's nest of his defenders.

I think we, as humans, should be allowed to take any form of PEDs that is regulated by doctors in safe and measured proportions. Steroids are actually quite healthy if regulated properly. Fighters don't want to be injured everyday of their life and most of them understand that steroids could possibly cause health issues down the road, but using and abusing are two completely different things.

In other words, I want to see Mark Hunt on steroids and I shouldn't have to explain why.

Yeah at no point did I say he doesn't use them. I just think your reasonings aren't the most solid. A black guy with a good physique, steroids! He's from Brazil, steroids! Also how can you say with such certainty that Brazil is the highest abuser? I'm still waiting for the proof on that one. It can't possibly be Russia, they're white and don't have big muscles. Nordic countries? Nah. They're honorable white gentlemen. Except Latifi. Canada? Never. Too nice.

I honestly just wanted to know why Aldo specifically. You answered. Thanks, Skell. 

I generally assume all athletes are on something. Makes it easier when of your faves gets popped.

If you think Aldo is on PED's because he looks buff for his small frame you also have to think Mendes and McGregor are on the juice no? If those little claims you listed are enough to convince you Aldo is juicing, look at the pics and you also have to think Rory and GSP were/are on it. Or is it because they aren't brazilian and you are a hypocritical nut-licker?

Not saying Aldo isn't using btw. because who isn't really? Just saying you are a nut-licker :P

It's funny you say "high horse" skelli because you should get off yours. Clearly Brazil doesn't care about PEDs. I'll just add all other third world countries to that list. Japan, we all know their thoughts. The Dutch kickboxing scene is known to not give a **** about it. I'm sure MMA is no different. Russia, the rest of the Eastern Bloc and China steroid the **** out of their athletes. This is known via Olympics. Only Murica (skelli) cares too much it seems. I know your sensei told you otherwise but he was probably snorting TRT and coke on the daily just to get through classes with you guys.

This guy is clean:

This guy is on PEDs:

That's the proof that the eye test doesn't work.
Btw, I'm a huge fan of GSP, but I don't think he was clean during his entire career.

I just said the eye test doesn't work haha. 

I personally think Aldo is on PEDs. I don't have evidence. It's just what I think. I thought Eddie Alvarez was and have it on good authority (take that for what it's worth, which is nothing) that he's clean. 

I don't like Aldo's statements regarding PEDs, and I think Brazilian fighters are on them exactly 1.3 % more often than Muricans. Cuz senseis told me.

I still love you guys. It's all a wash.

Here are 3 quotes from  skelliher that stand for themselfs imo

1) "Bottom line is, PEDs are obviously a huge problem in the sport. I know I dump on the Brazil scene, but it's just the most obvious one to me based on the eye test"

2) "I just said the eye test doesn't work haha."

3) "It's all a wash"

Touchy, touchy. Some big Aldo fans up in here. 

Since you can't let it die, care to explain his comments about Anderson Silva and the testing circus that went on with the NAC last month?

Or are you going to continue to explain away my suspicion of him based on other fighters also looking ripped? As if that makes him clean. You're acting like I'm an idiot for suspecting him and haven't actually provided any semblance of a counter to anything other than the eye test, which I admitted is dubious.

Since you can't read I'll say it again. I never said he doesn't taked PEDs. I like how your logic gets trashed and your response is that we're Aldo fans. It's alright skelli, you can come out and say it. Some third world dude wrecked you in one of your matches and now you're looking for an excuse. Here's a tip from a cheating Brazzo, take some roids and you might do better.

Or you are just making baseless accusations and starting to contradict yourself. But yeah must be those big Aldo fans being mad that Skelliher has the Boston roid insider. Sorry but you take the L here.

Ummm ... ya. I've never fought a Brazilian actually haha. But in attempting to make my logic look ridiculous, not sure how much that claim just served you.
