All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

These sports are pushing athletes beyond human limits. They should be allowed to take something, but in this era, you can get popped for mixing benadryl and tylenol or some shit. It's insane.
do you think they are being pushed like that to keep people watching, or for some other factor?

Athletes have almost always pushed themselves that hard. Over the last 10-15 years, there's been a huge crack down on what these athletes are taking. Not just steroids, but other things. Legal things. In that time, there's been a very noticeable rise in ACL tears and other injuries.

Not a coincidence, imo. Figure out what is way too advantageous, then prevent athletes from taking it. Don't shut everything down and liken it to "performance enhancers". Fucking water is a performance enhancer.

i didn't realize that they were banning things beyond steroids or something. yeah, i think you should give them access supplements or performance enhancers that you are okay with as a company. that should help to keep them from juicing illegally (or illegally within the rules of the sport)

Baseball needs Steroids. There's still plenty of technique and boredom to go around.

Dude hid under a ring from a drug test until he pissed himself. "i used to snitch on the kids who had pot. I don't want to offend any pot smokers out there, but I was always just down for the good side"

Fakest dude I've ever seen in MMA by far.

Jones-Cormier 2 has officially been ruled a No Contest and Cormier gets the belt back. They should just give DC the W too, since he was whooping Jones' ass the entire fight.

Throwing truth bombs in this video, too. "You have all the physical advantages, sir. You're 30 years old, you're 6'4", you've got an 85 inch reach. I'm 38 years old. I would love to take stuff and wake up every morning not having to walk down my stairs sideways just to get back to training."
I grew into a huge DC fan over the years and I'm only becoming a bigger fan.

Yeah, I've like DC a lot too. And for him you gotta believe Jones has been juicing virtually his whole career, or this is a big ego boost for DC. Why when he has all the advantages does he time and again cheat to try and beat me? It is all crazy. Not only when he has all the advantages, but Jones coming across as such a fraud talking about snitching on drug users and crying his eyes out etc. when he comes from a very proud and prestigious athletic family, what the fuck are you doing? You're disgracing their good name. And he's not dumb as dogshit as far as composing himself and articulating like the Diaz bothers and half the NFL etc. It doesn't make sense, God and Jones only know. But hey, maybe he called out Brock LESSSSNNNAAARRRR for a reason, he knew him and his fellow juicer were out anyways so he will join him in WWE to make bank.

lol. But then there's this tweet today...

Yeah, because a man who drives drunk, snorts cocaine on the norm, cheats on his fiance and flees the scene after almost killing a pregnant woman has the morality to never do steroids. lol. He's basically saying "I do steroids. Fuck my children and my heavenly father".

An old acquaintance from high school and guy I trained with at Joe Stevenson's gym just took a fight on three days notice to make his UFC debut against Mike Perry. He's 30 and never faced anyone on this level and will most certainly be a massive underdog. That being said, Mike Perry is a cockknocker and I'm rooting hard for him (Alex Reyes). Good guy, good head on his shoulders, haven't talked to him in years but I'll be rooting for him. Realistically, hes 30, and if he gets full on blitz KO'd like everyone is expecting, that will likely be the end of his career. Not saying he will retire, but he's got to at least make an impression in this fight if he wants anything to come of what he's been doing the last decade. You don't dedicate your entire life to training just to fight at King of the Cage and shit. This is his one chance. Mike Perry is already saying he wants a top contender after he demolishes Alex. I'm looking forward to the weigh in. I heard news of his fight through his facebook post and I just told him that the guy is gonna try like hell to intimidate him. Show him you belong.

He'll probably lose, but he's got to at least make a good impression on the UFC, or it was essentially all for nothing. This is why I bowed out of fighting. I don't have that kind of courage.

It says your boy is coming off a nearly two-year hiatus. He's probably fucked, but you never know? I hope he wins too.

Most sports are an elite rise to the crop type of thing. MMA is more of an anomaly than most in that you got a guy who just a couple years ago was on the government dole, now the biggest paid ever.

They are wrong. He just TKO'd a dude last month.

He is still probably going to lose, but it will be interesting, and weird to see.

The weigh-in face offs. Alex came in 2.5 pounds under 170. Mike Perry acting weird, as per the norm.
I remember Alex being way bigger, but I am about 99% sure it's because I have picked up about 45-50 pounds since the last time I saw him. :p
