Jose Aldo: A Tarnished Legacy

http://lastwordonsports.com/2015/07/18/jose-aldo-a-tarnished-legacy/

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

Uhm... Aldo and his camp did nothing wrong. The guy who showed up not properly documented asking for Aldo's piss is at that point no more than a random person. I actually applauded what they did. That dude was an idiot to **** around with Brazilian immigration laws and he's lucky he didn't get locked up. However, he did actually witness and observe the drug test for Aldo the next day and also shows that WADA took the collection and Mosier even reviewed the procedure:

"Ceased to be surprised, but José Aldo was subjected to a drug test urine on Friday, one month before the clash against Conor McGregor, which will be July 11 at UFC 189 in Las Vegas (USA). The test was conducted by the Brazilian Athletic Commission MMA (CABMMA) and the collection held by a member accredited by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) who came to Rio de Janeiro for this. The procedure took place in the Upper Academy, in the neighborhood of Flamengo, south of the city, where they train the Nova União athletes.
On Thursday, Aldo received a representative of the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NAC), Ben Mosier, who tried to make a surprise doping test in champion weight-downs (up to 66kg), but was cited, fined £ 413, 88 and notified by the Federal Police to leave the country within eight days for not having a work permit. Mosier, who works for the independent laboratory Drug Free Sport, hired by NAC, followed as an observer the review by CABMMA, which will send the urine sample to the Sports Medicine Research & Testing Laboratory, laboratory accredited by WADA based in Salt Lake City (USA)": Source

I also agree and see nothing wrong with what he said on the issue with Anderson Silva. For those who don't remember:

“in Anderson’s case, if he used it for that purpose, for his leg, I don’t see a problem. Anderson had a hard year, his head must’ve been spinning at a thousand miles an hour—he didn’t know if he’d come back, if he was going to stop, or how he would come back. If he has a doctor who follows him and recommends the use of particular things, I don’t see an issue. He wasn’t trying to cheat."

The org that licensed the NAC officer recently said he was properly licensed.

You want to talk about some real ****?

Lorenzo Ferttita was part of the NSAC and was one the leading cause at keeping MMA unsanctioned for the soul purpose that he could buy it for nothing.

Kizer quits and now Marc Ratner, who works for the UFC, also works for the NSAC. The UFC has been shady as **** since it's birth and the NSAC can go **** themselves.

Yet, you have Jose Aldo, who's done nothing but great things for the WEC/UFC/Zuffa, being ridiculed, accused, and basically getting **** on by the president of the company he works for, and people are saying "He's cheating!" even though he did nothing wrong?

Give me a ******* break.

Ya! 

We dumb. Should have refrained from taking the jab in my first post. 

You guys did seem to attack Skelliher a bit and I wish this forum was more open to discussion on general things within MMA, like other forums. But then you get everyone making ******y remarks and cliqueing together like other forums. 

Here's my opinion because I know you have all been waiting for it. Eye test is ********, it's not a black or white thing however....we all know those 16 year-olds we think are 30, jacked with cars and tattoos, a lot of them are too ******* poor to even afford steroids and they're 16 with a physique that makes Aldo look like rotten fruit. (For Legz, some of them are even white kids homie, plenty of white Brazilians that Skelliher thinks roid too, calm down....wax on, wax off Miyagi San).

I don't like to throw around percentages or elude to information I have, yet give no proof or logical backing for it. Some FOX news **** (sorry Cthulhu, FOX news is awful). The odds of any professional athlete using steroids is reasonable...be them Cody McKenzie or Usain Bolt. While I do personally feel like using steroids may be part of the culture for combat sports in Brazil, to what degree it is compared to any other country is most likely negligible.

Can we all just agree Jose Aldo needs to stop being so dainty and broken so he can come back and explode all over the Milk****ter McGregor. 

You are such a WASP.

Le pot calling le kettle black. Should have just kept quiet Nomad.

Get at me Legz. 

Go get Joe Kerr and LivestoWrestle, you'll need all the back-up you can find. This is a forum war, and Nomad is ISIS.

I thought about giving my 2 cents on this topic, but after reading through everything, there is really no need. Legz and Live2Wrestle just owned this thread. and this is a thread with a full serious opinion by The Nomad. good ****, gents.

This incident does nothing to Aldos legacy... 5-10 years from now it's just a footnote on the Tapology website... Right under the results :

Jose Aldo W5 Conor MacGregor  (December 2015)....

Flame fanning cancelled.

live to wrestle...

Why care if they bring robotic arms and legs and laser guns too right? I mean the fighters should care but the fans shoudnt,

if youre just watching to see dudes beat up on each other while you drink beer and holler then you might not care.

but if youre watching because you love the competition and skill of the sport, and want to see who are the best fighters in the world, then you should care if one is cheating because then you just got cheated out of seeing the real competition.

this is the most nonsensical thing ive ever seen. and that's in a sport that invites nonsense comments

Because robotic arms and lasers are totally the same thing as drugs =/
PEDs don't change that it's competition or that they are skilled fighters, I don't feel cheated out of anything as long as it entertains.
Anyways I think this has run its course so I'm going to make like an F and see ya.
