    wel he is right, but to combat this he needs random testing and zuffa will have to foot the bill.......not gonna happen

    No he's not right. He's full of ****. You know he's full of **** and anyone with more than 2 working brain cells should know he's full of ****.
    Dana doesn't give a flying **** who's on TRT or Hormones. But he has to say this because he has to be seen to be doing something about it. Thats obviously quite hard when he's on them and the boss is on them, and his stance vs hormone abuse is about as ridiculous as the WWE's 'Wellness Policy'.
    This isn't the first time Dana has said this. It won't be his last. But one thing is certain. NOTHING will be done about it.

    Spot on it's more empty talk from White. You know the same empty talk he does all the same like say a fight is for the number 1 contender spot then not give the winner a title shot or when he states that GSP-Silva will definately happen in may 2013 and then it turns out that it wasn't anywhere near close to happen over all these years that he's baited the fans because GSP clearly doesn't want it.

    I'm more likely to believe the opposite of what White says these days. Take what he says with a grain of salt.

    Yeah, I also believe that he doesn´t give a **** who´s on hormones and ****.....actually he is probably well aware of who is using what and how much is using and stuff....

    i meant him being right about test use and coming off i presume what is testosterone suspension in time for levels to drop back down, what you said i agree with, he should stay quiet and let the commission do their half job at testing, one look at lorenzo and its clear he is cycling pretty heavy, probably growth continuosly as money wouldnt be an issue for him, would be pretty damaging if a story got loose on danas ste
    roid use

    As Kel said he is a businessman its not like he can come out and say well we know that a majority of the fighters are on them and we dont give a **** so we will let them use it as much as they want

    Dana's mum already outed him on his use some years back. There's an interview of her talking about it on Youtube somewhere.
    And Dana's also admitted his taken gear before. Its pretty obvious he has as back in the PRIDE days Dana was a thimble necked gimp. Now he's got a bulbous head and a more swollen physique than the pencil necked frame he used to have.
    As for Lorenzo its plain as day he's been on a good cycle for a minute. That guys a midget. And yet he's packing what looks like 16 inch arms at least.

    And there's no point in expecting the commissions to do much. Zuffa have effectively bought the commission. Lorenzo used to serve on NSAC. For all intents they're thoroughly infiltrated and just an inconvenient tick box that the UFC have to observe. Of which they're only there to capture those not on 'prescribed' drugs. So without any regulation around TRT exemptions how exactly is Dana going to target these 'apparent' cheats when TRT exemptions are legal? Is he really willing to loose money as well as fighters to suspensions and drug use? Of course not. The guys just full of ****.

    Pointless vacuous statement. Dana has an obligation to abide by the laws of the commission. Right now TRT exemptions are legal. Thus any rhetoric that he is going to target TRT 'cheats' is clearly bull****. Either way the UFC sanctions drug abuse via prescriptions backed by a doctor. This of course does not wash with Joe public bearing in mind hormone supply and abuse is illegal under the eyes of the law. Therefore Zuffa/Dana are in a compromising situation where ideally the rule of sporting fair play should prevail.
    Naturally of course because of the UFCs brand name, recognition and size they can't be idly seen to be ignoring what is a major issue in the UFC. Therefore Dana has no choice but to make statements like this as he must be seen to be doing something. But we know the reality is he doesn't care and has never cared. He's not tough on drug cheats. He's only tough on fighters who don't tow his company line. In addition its a bit hard to claim the moral high ground when he and the boss are also on them. So whichever way you want to paint this Dana has and continues to make himself look like a c*nt, while doing nothing to address the issue.

    TRT is supposedly different than juicing. I would think they load up, then when theyre in metabolic lag, get tested, show non-existent levels of endogenous test, and get the therapy. The only way to catch them is to have random testing all year round. But if they start doing that, who will be left to fight? You could probably forget about the top 5 or so from each weight class. You'd have Nelson fighting Tank for the UFC Heavyweight Championship (and even Tank was possibly juicing).

    Dude its the SAME thing. Whether you take TRT treatment or hormones its the SAME thing. The only difference is one is self medicated and the other comes with a spurious doctors note.
    Todd Duffee 27 year healthy male low test? Really? Belfort been on drugs his ENTIRE career. Busted for them on a PRIDE bill in the USA the one time he had to submit a **** test..lulz....but he's on TRT now?
    Dan Henderson? Sonnen, Rampage, Frank Mir, Couture the list goes on. Its practically endless.

    No, I agree with you 100%, which is why i said 'supposedly'. I probably should have bolded it or made it bigger font lol. TRT is a loophole way of juicing to the gills and getting away with it. I can't wait to see all these top guys in 15 years when they cant walk. Your muscles will keep growing and growing, your strength will keep going up and up...but connective tissue and bones don't respond the same way. They keep training with enough testosterone and analogues to effectively bring them into such a metabolic lag that a doctor will prescribe TRT, to HUGE men with little bodyfat and tons of lean mass (really? Do they really LOOK like they are in need of male hormones?? lol) that there will be so many horror stories in a few decades of former champs in wheelchairs, unable to move, etc.

    It's their lives though. They should be allowed to juice away if they like, at least that's what I think. I'd prefer to see everyone on a level playing field, and with juice, that field is so elevated. A blatant example of what juice will do for performance is comparing the 100m times from 1988 to 1992 in the Olympics. I'd rather see all the guys under 10 seconds, then only one barely. Off-topic a bit, but thats just my opinion.
