I'm sure almost EVERY pro athlete is on something, or did something to gain any advantage they could. Especially in mainstream sports, there's millions of dollars on the line. Sure it's "not about the money" but do you really think things would be as popular as they are without it? Hell no. I've seen people do steroids and spend a TON of time on steroid related forums, I have yet to see anyone become a pro based on their results, progress or journals that diary their usage.




UFC supposedly tests already, Sean "Shark" Sherk got busted for higher than average levels or testosterone and was disqualified from a fight.
Of course it's "about the money". Its always about the money. I dont work for free. Do you? Hell no, you work for the money. So do atheletes.

UFC has been under the radar for a long time but now with its new found popularity its only a matter of time before the subject comes up. I dont know what if any testing or regulations they have over the athletes now but you know people will start asking questions sooner or later.

All I'm saying is "who cares?" It's entertainment, plain and simple. Juice em up and let the shit fly, son.

They would be a lot bigger/faster if they were juicing.

Don't get me wrong, there are some big guys in UFC. But, there are no freaks. I would think if roids would be involved, you would have one or two very very dominant guys winning everything.

Like this guy who is making a name for himself on the lower circuits..

There's no way that guy isn't on juice. People don't grow like that naturally no matter how hard they work.

Lots of MMA guys get busted... You just don't hear about it because they don't want to openly tarnish the image of a growing sport.

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...3704&zoneid=13

Sherk getting busted

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...4359&zoneid=13



BTW Marius(the big dude in the pics above) is only fighting in K1/M1 or whatever it's called now because they DONT test. Likewise they don't test in his strongman contests either. Because as stated - no one wants to see the average persons achievements, they want to be entertained by the best of the best.
