Sonnen: Due to ramifications of ban of 'substance', 'I may have to stop the sport'

[dimethylmercury]

All this talk about "substance" makes me feel like I'm in the cast of Harry Potter, talking about "he who shall not be named".

This lol. Let's just pretend it doesnt exist.

There is nothing unbelievable about that.

Lol, sure.

I mean there are still people out there who think that he didn't get wronged by the ref in the first Filho fight, they still think Sonnen tapped.

Watch the fight, he verbally submitted and then made excuses afterwards.

60 g of fast-digesting carbs and a protein shake post workout and he wouldn't need that garbage. Strong Dolce.

Don't forget that it should be grass fed organic protein.

Pretty much. It's been in the rules for some time, I've just been a letting it slide a bit because it has been such a hot news point in MMA. I double checked myself with the site admin on it and was instructed to inforce the zero tolerance rule for any drug discussion....recreational or PEDs.

Like the rule or not, it is what it is....and it's the reason this thread is so hacked up as I've had to delete MULTIPLE posts.
There is a sticky to make sure everyone was aware of the rules on this.

Couldn't we use it in the context of the natural, endogenous, your own testes produced molecule? Like "Chael can't fight because he has low levels of __ because his balls aren't making enough" as long as exogenous forms of __ aren't brought up?

And yet we are on BODYBUILDING.com.

Ironic. I guess it's just best to stick our heads in the sand and pretend these certain "substances" don't exist.

I'll put it like this....I don't have the time or patients to really site here and read EVERY post and navigate the gray areas about someone's natural levels and the context.
If you can't talk about TRT, there really isn't much reason to speak of Chael's supposed condition.

1. Not ironic at all because not every BBers uses.
2. If you look through the WHOLE site, you'll see that this is not JUST a BBing site (Example: You're in an MMA section).
3. No one is putting their head in the sand. BBing.com is just not going to promote or accept the use (or discussion of) on any level of PEDs.

I've said it several times now. It is what it is and those are the rules. Not too much more to be said.
