Cung Le’s recent positive testing for Human Growth Hormone has sent Victor Conte, Le’s friend and nutrition adviser, into a frenzy.
Here’s the notorious Conte’s reaction:
@ufc is WRONG 2 suspend @cungle185. The post fight hGH result was scientifically NORMAL & exactly what experts expect. NOT a valid positive

WADA does NOT consider @cungle185 test a positive because NO isoforms or IGF-1 tests done & exercise elevates hGH well known. @ufc MISTAKE!

@ufc didn't do the 3 WADA tests needed 4 positive. They compared @cungle185 to rested hGH normal. Not 2 post exercise normal. Cung = NORMAL
