If it's confirmed he fought a cheat AGAIN he absolutely has grounds to ask for that. Whether you think he's worth it or not is irrelevant, if ufc feels that way they can release him.

I don't know if the UFC would release him. I doubt there's anything in the contract that would pertain to this.

If he decides to quit the UFC, he would likely be quitting MMA. He's 42, so maybe it's for the best.

 

[zewone]

It was not because of steroid abuse. It's was brain trauma.

Yes. Very likely CTE.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'm not saying he's clean, but everyone looks shredded on weigh in day due to dehydration and fasting

He looked shredded on fight night too, especially compared to how he's looked in the WWE lately, and even compared to his last UFC fights.

 

[Onemic]

He is an in-competition body builder that is tested. He has always been jacked.

He's an in-competition bodybuilder. That automatically means he's on the juice.

 

[HarryKS]

You don't come in at 262 pounds when your body fat percentage is that low and you have so little water retention. It's insane.

 

[Dr.Acula]

So...dumb question. But why do athletes keep doping? They aren't getting away with it anymore, and they continue to do it. Someone explain to me. I am seriously confused why they keep taking the dumbass risk.

USADA has only been testing the UFC recently (about a year), before that the UFC had their own protocols. Seems like athletes just thought that since they fooled the old testing, USADA wouldn't be that difficult.

Most get away with it in any sport not named the UFC. If your job is to be as competitive as possible, youre going to try and do everything you can to increase your chances of winning. That includes doping. It makes perfect sense, especially when most sports have shit testing.

Pretty much every body builder have been on steroids, stop being so naive, if you lifted at all you would know how hard is to look like that by natural means.

It's the guy ducking in the background that makes this gif so funny for me.

And Brock popped? Color me insanely surprised.

 

[FStop7]

When I saw how red Brock's body looked at the end of the fight I thought about posting about this: I seriously wondered if he was using a drug to increase his oxygen transport, something like EPO. This is completely tales from my ass, but it absolutely crossed my mind.

 

[Deadstar]

So is Taker 23-1*

Taker is now undefeated. His loss to brock doesn't count because he was on the orange juice.

 

[Fox318]

Meltzer brought up a point.

He passed 5 of 6 tests in the period of 2 weeks

What the hell did he take?

 

[Razorskin]

Roman and Brock are going to have a tren on a pole match at summer slam.

 

[Dali]

The WWE should just suspend Brock now so that his suspension is up before Summer Slam.

It's a violation to use roids in the WWE? Isn't that like a soap star not being allowed to use Botox?

 

[Soodanim]

Context?

 

[Kuroyume]

Context?

WWE was honoring Daniel Bryan who had retired from werestling that night due to concussion-related health issues. As Vince was exiting the stage a wrestler by the name of Titus O'Neil grabbed on to him in a playful manner but Vince didn't react to it too nicely. It was the wrong time to horse around as they were trying to honor Bryan, and Vince getting pulled liked that as the show ended did not look good. Titus was suspended from wrestling for a while and even missed Wrestlemania.

I don't really think they're really worried about someone being able to moonsault higher than another but more along the lines of them looking bad to the media.

Oh wow. Bad form, Titus.

Thanks

I'd heard he had been tested 6 times before the fight. I thought steroids stayed in your system a decent amount of time, unlike stuff like Coke that's gone in a day (and they don't test for abuse drugs except for the day of the fight). How did he fail only 1 test?

USADA kinda sucks at this

Of course they do. Their performance hasn't been enhanced.
What needs to happen is that the USADA testers all need to get on PEDs so they'll be able to test more competently.

He killed himself, and murdered his wife and child due to head trauma and steroid abuse.

I blame the head trauma and repeated concussions more than the pain killer addiction.
So does the WWE which is why they forcibly retired Daniel Bryan from the sport despite no drug abuse history of any kind.

 

[OrochiJR]

For those wondering if Brock will perform on Summerslam due to this potential violation.

Does anyone believe the WWE will test guys like Brock, The Rock, Taker, Triple H or probably even Cena? Those guys are above the rest of the roster in standing and importance to the company and most likely exempt to the tests. If Brock or the Rock got tested and popped they will simply say fuck this shit and walk away and Vince wouldn't want that.

The issue with Brock and Summerslam has less to do with what the WWE's throwaway response is and more to do with the New York State Athletic Commission still regulating pro wrestling and potentially upholding the punishment laid out by their peers in Nevada. Of course, the WWE would simply respond by moving the Orton-Lesnar match to Clash of Champions in Indianapolis the next month.

Yea just like Roman... oh wait

WWE does play around with it of course but they just flagged their top guy so. Think they have more space to fuck around with part timers. All guys you named besides Cena are part time.

 

[entremet]

No idea why the UFC submitted themselves to USADA testing.

Just turn a blind eye like all the other major sports leagues do. Testing is a joke and mostly done for PR purposes, but everyone knows pro athletes are on PEDs.

Come the fuck on. Remove your blinders.

 

[sora87]

WWE issues statement.

So he won't be on any shows leading up to summerslam?

 

[BokehKing]

I liked this sport better when everyone was dirty and they all got away with it.

I would like this sport if everyone was clean and achieved everything naturally, would be a lot more impressive.

The guy they have been trying to make the next Cena for the last 2 years is currently serving a suspension for drugs. And they are using this suspension as a way to garner sympathy for him, so it's not like they have given up on him

They only test guys at events so they obviously aren't testing Taker more than once a year (he's on very few shows), but Brock works 25 or so dates a year so they have the opportunity to test him 2 or 3 times a year

Yeah.. A lot of people are "tested".

I think it's a little different for the UFC as the combative nature of the sport adds a layer of danger from it's athletes enhancing themselves and inflicting more damage on their opponents.

 

[Mentok]

Brock and friends upon hearing the news:

 

[MaverickHunterX]

Like did anyone ever think otherwise?

He'll pass

Please don't lose, Punk! It's bad enough they nerfed him in the game...

 

[Couleurs]

It's a violation to use roids in the WWE? Isn't that like a soap star not being allowed to use Botox?

They've been toying around with steroid testing for a while, starting in the 90s when the company was under government scrutiny due to rampant steroid use. It kind of died off for a while, then came back when a bunch of wrestlers died in a fairly short period of time largely due to drug/steroid use (Eddie Guerrero, etc). The WWE is a publicly traded company now, so they have to pretend to care about the wellbeing of the wrestlers now.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Brock Lesnar also failed in-competition drug test at UFC 200

 

[fauxtrot]

As someone who doesn't follow UFC, how much worse does this get for him now that he's failed two tests rather than just the first out-of-competition one?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

As someone who doesn't follow UFC, how much worse does this get for him now that he's failed two tests rather than just the first out-of-competition one?

Same. Counts as one failed test which could still mean a 2 year ban.

 

[Tom Nook]

Ouch.

 

[BobTheFork]

Vince must have spiked his oat bag. Now he has Lock on brockdown for the rest of his wwe contract.

BORK PLS

 

[killamajig]

Brock Lesnar also failed in-competition drug test at UFC 200

This positive drug test will likely be lumped into the previous one as a single potential anti-doping violation. According to the UFC's anti-doping policy, two positive tests could be considered aggravating circumstances, which could lead to further sanctioning. In-competition is considered the 12-hour window before and after a fight.

[Jezbollah]

So I guess Vince wont have to deal with Brock wanting to do MMA for the next couple of years.

 

[slabrock]

so how does this impact my wwe mock draft i'm finishing up before 8pm?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Sounds like Brock and Bones were using the same stuff.

 

[nilbog21]

Guys I was doing some research and could not find a straight answer to this. If he tested positive on June 28th did the UFC just cover it up and let him fight? I'm confused..

 

[jmdajr]

No. Tests usually take a week or two to process.

tests take a long time to come back

test was on 28th, results didnt come back until later

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Blame Chris Benoit. For real.

Or thank Eddy Guerrero.

FYI Chad Mendez just got banned for two years by USADA.
