    Loved watching him operate but damn...

    He'll be 35 by the time he's unbanned and nowhere near what he is now.

    His trainer has basically admitted he took it knowingly in his latest interview.

    Tries saying TJ is one of the good guys but gave into the pressure of expectations.

    The strain of EPO he was using isn't tested for by default neither, so it puts a huge asterix on his wins over Cody.

    Cody even said he was on it last year, even their press conference Cody said when he was part of Alpha he was showing guys how to use it and not **** hot at the time. I'm sure someone else has also mentioned more recently one of their former fighters was doing it but didn't name names.
    Edit...read USADA retested his **** from the Cody fight and it also tested positive for EPO..If they didn't pick it previously how many others have been on it...USADA went testing his hard due to rumours of him admitting it during team alpha days.

    Man, what a disastrous turn of events this has been for TJ. How many guys have had a worse year than this?

    Went from being the 135 pound GOAT in the making and a number of huge fights ahead to getting dusted in 30 seconds at a lower weight class and then popping for PEDs and getting a two year ban. Yeeeeeeeeeesh...

    Once a cheat always a cheat. His legacy is now zero. Feels sorry for Cody the former champ. TJ Dillashaw has effectively stolen millions of dollars from him due to his cheating. No doubt he was cheating in previous fights as well.

    What about Renan. He was the heir apparent for BW goat until he ran into TJ.

    This. Good riddance. I never liked Dillashaw. When he visited our gym years ago he rubbed everybody the wrong way.

    Lol I know there are some who like to believe otherwise but as Chael Sonnen said you can tell who’s using just from their body type.TJ had bad Gyno and just looked all wrong,that said I believe they are all at it.
