Maybe, but stimulants are a bigger advantage on fight night. But you could make a case they allow you to train harder.
I'm not disputing the glass, this is Macau after all. My point is he has a lot to lose as the nutritionalist. I expect him to come out swinging at Vada.
Whether it's true or not is irrelevant. What difference does it make whether he pees in a lab cup or a normal glass? As long as the glass doesn't contain the banned substance, there's no difference. They found a banned substance in his urine, not a shard of glass.
Got to queston why Conte who himself admits he does'nt like Ariza, would come out gun's blazing, discrediting and making Ariza look bad. Should'nt Conte who is associated with VADA just let Rios' failed test speak for itself??? Conte bashing Ariza is exactly the reason why Angel Heredia advised JMM to go with USADA and reject VADA when Tim Bradley was bitching about Marquez not testing with VADA. Heredia is Conte's worst enemy and obviously if Conte could pull strings to make Heredia look bad, he'd do it working with VADA. Conte here in bashing Ariza allready gave credence to JMM rejecting VADA testing and going just with USADA.
Sure its relevant. When you take a physical at a medical clinic, they dont hand you a glass for you to **** in it. They hand you a sealed bag which contains a sterile cup with a lid for you to urinate in.
Conte's reacting to the harsh remarks Ariza's been making against VADA, calling the company into question. Conte does have an ego as well and seems to enjoy being in the spot light. I don't know about the allegations by Ariza regarding VADA not following their own protocols, but you have to wonder about USADA either not testing for certain substances or testing in a way that the threshold is set ridiculously high where only careless people would get caught.
So a sterile glass isn't good enough. It has to be plastic. OK, you win. Rios and Ariza are clean. :hi:
Yeah I used to take **** tests in the US Navy. Everything is sealed and unsealed in front of you to provide some assurance there is no cross contamination. That seem strange if it was glass or any open cup. VADA should be a more stringent testing procedure than the one the US Navy randomly gives. Even if Ariza has an argument, I'm still convinced he was giving Pac more than protein shakes. Pac was never tested under USADA or VADA with Ariza in his corner.
