Bad Guy Inc<\/a>‘ podcast, Sonnen had this to say about PED’s in the MMA:<\/p>\n“The sport is so clean, it really is so clean. It’s not perfect, it’s a game, it’s a game with a flawed phycology by the user of which I used to be one. If it’s not on the banned list, then it’s not banned. There is a technicality to that rule, there really is. If you could get a chemist that could change one strand and create something new of which has not been identified by anybody…. You see where this gets really interesting.”<\/em><\/p>\nContinuing Chael Sonnen said:<\/p>\n
“So the guys that are using, the guys that are failing the drug tests, they are known but you have to catch them. And there’s a number of things about the agreements that is not the way it’s advertised to you guys, so you need to know:<\/em><\/p>\nNo. 1 What they’re using<\/em><\/p>\nNo. 2 How they’re using it<\/em><\/p>\nNo. 3 When they are using it<\/em><\/p>\nConcluding Sonnen, speaking about his own PED incident, said:<\/p>\n
“Now when you watch people playing this game and when I went down on this, I got hired by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Hired is because I don’t know a better term to use as it was part of my disciplinary action. But my phone rang a lot and not only did I answer all those calls, I made a bunch of them to a lot of my buddies and I said STOP. They’re coming, they’re going to get you, I know what you were told, I know what you think, it’s better and it’s different – no STOP. They thought that they had it beat.”<\/em><\/p>\n“Here’s what influenced me – it wasn’t losing my license, it wasn’t getting suspended. It was Dana White, when asked about baseball and steroids who said, It’s a guy with a stick, this is combat where somebody could hurt or kill somebody by doing something secretly that’s against the rules. That changed me. That was the moment.”<\/em><\/p>\n
