I think M1 would agree to let Fedor fight if the Olympic level testing were in place...and AO would be stupid not to do it [that's if he gets cut, which I don't think he will]. IT would go a long way to re-establishing him and putting the asterisk next to his name in a smaller font.

But all of that is moot, because Zuffa doesn't give two shits about juicers unless they get caught and impact the bottom line.

I'm not a sonnen fan, by any means, but I don't remember reading that the disparity between his T/ET levels was higher than 14:1 at the time of his scandal. I'm reading it often now, and I'm curious where that's coming from. Is it something I completely missed, or is it misinformation on the verge of being a meme?

For the record, I think sonnen got off too lightly as well.

Do you really think that marijuana is a performance enhancing drug? I knew you were an idiot, but I'm shocked at how much of an idiot you are.

You're also overlooking the fact that Diaz's use of marijuana was pre-established before he signed with the UFC. It's been public knowledge for years, and while you can ignorantly write off his doctor as "sketchy" you'd be ignoring volumes of valid research that indicates marijuana is tremendously helpful in many cases of ADHD coupled with social anxiety disorders.
