They\u2019re just getting popped left and right. It\u2019s one of the things fighters have been saying for a long time, that everyone is on steroids, or a huge percentage. The number (is) 50, 60 (percent), whatever it is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFighters will sometimes train three times a day. Maybe they\u2019ll run, do sprints in the morning, and then they\u2019ll do some kind of strength and conditioning in the afternoon. Then they\u2019ll do wrestling or jiu-jitsu at night. Then they\u2019ll vary. The next day they might do kickboxing in the morning and running in the afternoon, then weight lifting at night. But you\u2019re talking about working out three times in a day because you have all these different skills you have to work on.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou have to work on your wrestling, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu. There\u2019s not enough time in the day, and there\u2019s not enough time to recover. So that\u2019s when comes in Dr. Feelgood. He comes along, and bang.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAnderson was coming back from an injury, and the way I understand it, he tested positive for metabolites. It was leaving his system, a very trace amount. If that was the case, it could be that he got on some steroids to recover quicker. Because what steroids do, is they allow you to recover quicker.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSo if he\u2019s 39 years old and he breaks his leg, you\u2019re looking at a long-ass recovery period. Or you take steroids and you recover in nine months instead of 15 months or fill in the blank. That could be what\u2019s going on, but the reality is it\u2019s illegal. If it takes you 15 months, the excuse cannot be, \u2018I\u2019m going to take some illegal drugs so I heal quicker.\u2019 No, you\u2019re never allowed to take steroids.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe reality is, especially with this whole steroid epidemic, one thing we have to realize is the use of steroids is less than 100 years old. There\u2019s always been something people have taken, but the actual use of anabolic steroids in human beings is relatively recent in human history. As time goes on, they\u2019re going to create more powerful, crazy sh-t, and it\u2019s going to get to the point where you\u2019re going to test negative because it\u2019s not in your system anymore, but your body will forever change.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe UFC and MMA in general is a steroid epidemic.They\u2019ve started this really stringent testing, and everybody is getting popped.
