Anderson Silva failed drug test for steroids!!

Bio-hazard · Feb 4, 2015

Yup! For Masteron too! That's huge!! In my opinion it just goes to show that EVERY TOP LEVEL GUY is using something but not getting caught!! Wow!!

Of alll places I think that people here wouldn't be surprised.

I don't believe there is any top professional in their sport that does not participate is some level of doping.

Office workers pop painkillers and caffeine all day to function.
Porn stars take pde5 inhibitors to stay hard like rocks.
Orchestra musicians take beta blockers to have more stable hands.
Athletes take anabolics and recovery aids.

Performance enhancing drugs are ubiquitious throughout our culture, yet it is a shock when athletes do it? Why is it any surprise that someone who gets punched in the face for a living would take anabolics?

We need to stop pretending that anabolics are bad, and just accept the fact that we like exciting sports, exciting fights and exciting performances. Freaks sell in every field and people will always do whatever it takes to get ahead. Lets move on already...

I'm not surprised. He's almost 40 years old. They're all on something anyway. It's actually pretty scientific how they cycle up to a fight and then taper off just enough to pass the tests. I read an article about it I'll try to find it and post.

I don't care he's still one of my favorites.

Nick diaz doesn't take steroids

Steroids made the UFC what it is. I was an avid watcher until the last 1.5 years where the fights are just bland and boring to me. Its gone down hill so much that i wouldn't even think about going to a bar or pay per viewing a fight.

Honestly, i want anabolics in sports. I want to see pitchers throwing 105. Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa saved baseball. I want to see a WR get blown up. If its bigger, better, and faster; sign me up!

That fucker! Im gonna kick his ass, er, maybe not.

I was pretty shocked that Silva got busted for mast but I guess it makes sense now. The guy cuts a lot of weight. He walks around at 230 and cuts to 185 so he wouldn't want a compound that would risk any extra water retention. I am sure he must have been at least on a low dose of test along side

Toraxx · Feb 4, 2015

how does anyone expect a guy in his 40's to fight in a optimal level sport that requires approximately 6 hours of vigorous training a day. You must be foolish to think or expect otherwise. But then again common sense isn't that common anymore now is it LoL. I guess it's just called sense now a days. You either got it or you don't.

I would say 99% of these guys and professional athletes as well are on some sort of PED, whether it is AAS, HGH, or another peptide. They have access to stuff that most of the population does not. There is plenty of stuff they have that is not even testable.

take it one step further. most of your favorite musicians(beatles, led zep, hendrix,jay z, etc) all wrote their masterpieces under the influence of one drug or another... call it creative PEDs.
its common knowledge that some of hollywood's best writers rely on creative PEDs... without coke or lsd, many of the all time best selling movies would have just been ho-hum..
should all these guys return their professional awards and issue a public apology?

NAC: Anderson Silva tested positive for two types of performance enhancing drugs (updated) - MMA Fighting

Nick Diaz tests positive for marijuana metabolites after UFC 183 - MMA Fighting
Diaz popped for THC

One of my colleagues at work trains at a fighter gym and brought this up to me via text message today. I was caught off guard as well. Of all things, caught on mast lol.

Just curious, what would be the use of using Mast? He didn't look muscular at all so why use a PED when a decent diet, hard training which I'm sure he does, would lean a guy out while maintaining muscle. hell, I'm doing it now!! Haven't used in over a year. Nadda nothing. He knew he would be tested. Those metabolites are a bitch and you never know how long they might stay in the system.

Even though its mild any androgen is going to be muscle sparing during a cut. Guys that cut weight like that take a huge hit in there natty production of testosterone as the body goes into starvation mode. Anderson's cuts from 230 to 185

Can't believe people r surprised by this. Those guys take a beating everyday like we do. They've got to recover and that is the most efficient way. Just make it legal and it would be so much easier

Athletes and PEDs are old hat fellas. Let's not get carried away here, of course they take stuff.

I don't think anyone is surprised that he got caught using ped's. They are just shocked at the compound he was caught using

IMO, all MMA stars use some type of performance enhancing drugs. I'm not surprised. Recently, there was talk that Jon Jones had some "testosterone" testing issues, I guess UFC swept that under the rug after his coke exposure.

Speaking of Jones, how long did he end up staying in rehab?
