Why would any pro athlete use decca??? I know it helps your joints but its just too risky IMO.

shit i didn't even know UFC was drug testing

If your a pro you gotta be a fucking moron to use deca.

Yeah they test for championship bouts and main events.

 

[AlwaysOn]

y use deca???

 

[michaeltt]

my guess is he did not know exactly what he was getting. he probably thought it was testosterone or something else. maybe he bought it from an undergound lab and it was mislabelled. maybe one his trainers gave him the wrong thing. maybe one of them had it out for him! I doubt he would do it on purpose.

 

[BigCracker]

I agree w/the last post. He probably used a counterfeit roid that was labled as something other than Deca. Still, he's not too smart for not acquiring a more reliable source. Especially when testing clean or not will have such a profound effect on his career. It sucks to be him. Wouldn't it be more logical to use water based roids that are not detectable for such a long period of time?

He sure doesn't look like he is on any type of steroid, but neither did Toney, or for that matter most pro athletes that take them.

 

[brooklynheight]

yep..from looking at that pic he doesnt look like he has any clue about steroids..

of course..he could still kick my ass in -2 seconds

 

[Fajitas]

I watched that fight and I remember thinking to my self that it looked like he was on, even though it doesn't look like it in the pic.

UFC fighters juice..just like all sports. they do it for endurance and to recover faster..etc..etc..it's usually not to build mass, that's why he doesn't look jacked, not everybody wants/needs to look like a bodybuilder. secondly...maybe he did deca over a year ago or so..and didn't expect it to show up. I doubt he thought it would clear his system quickly. Or like was said above, if you don't know exactly what you are getting,and you will be tested...better not take a risek as I'm sure MANY underground labels may not be as honest as we'd like them to be.

 

[UA_Iron]

all this speculation about mislabeling and UG gear not being what its supposed to be...

has anyone had any first hand experience or lab tests to back up these wild accusations?

 

[karachi183]

This was this guy's first ufc bout. he usually trained over seas china i believe and they may not test that frequently. So the notion that it could have been in his system a long time ago may be one of the best reasons. But Deca is known amongst these guys for much better muscle/tendon/joint recovery than test which is what these guys need most as opposed to sheer size and strength.

 

[gimp]

yeah, sure, deca is great for muscle/tendon pain relief..I've heard it's the best for regeneration..but, I've never read any studies on it.

I feel sorry for the guy.

 

[lrg&inCHARGE]

Feel sorry for the guy he beat the shit outta HAHA

Actually he did not beat the shit out of the guy he fought (Ivan Salaverry). In fact, it was one of the most boring main events I have ever seen. There was next to no action and the fight should have been a draw.

 

[lrg&inCHARGE]

then he should have done more deca, sustanon, and threw in some d-bols too... lol

 

[Nytol2]

Re-test came back negative.

 

[granby140]

howd it come back neg?
