    A lot of the time. Schaub is right about the scam that was pulled to let him come back this quickly.

    Wasn't the whole point that Lance never popped? Not once?

    Lance did fail a test way back in 1999 but he had an exemption for saddle sore, or something, so it was ok.

    When the exemption was applied for and issued is a different story if you know what I mean.

    I know people in gyms who juice (they aren't competing/fighting). Its very common even among amateurs.

    In England and Wales there's been a lot of low level, not pro, rugby players who've failed drug tests.

    I'd say most were not for performance enhancing but just so the guys could get good gym body's.

    Whatever about the primary motivation, there's no way you could be on juice and not be aware of and benefitting from strength gains.

    True but we all know what happened last time :) Not sure how 26 odd days before a fight can be out of competition.
    In comp is defined as 12 hours either side of competing. It's to do with substances acceptable when training but not fighting. This is the WADA definition, not UFC. The UFC extends it out to the weigh in.

    so it turns out he popped for 2 banned subs.

    this makes informative reading but the "more chances of hitting the lottery" remark says it all, he's ****ed basically is what I'm getting from Dana whites negative undertone. No doubt they would have all said that to him which shows why he was so emotional at the press conference.

    things move so quick on this I wouldn't be surprised if he's arrested in the morning for drunk driving again!!

    You just know he put his life into that camp I'd say he'd sleepless nights about it and all now hes never getting a chance to redeem himself no way he will be as good if Jones gets 2 years DC be 40 I know he hasnt been doing mma that long but nows his chance of beating him,Jones will be 30 still prime age.

    Honestly I don't see Jones lasting too much longer regardless of age that man is destined for a cell

    Why did they bother announcing Lesnar - Hunt as the new main event, and even seemed to put together a new promo for it today.

    And then when they get DC back on the card, against a big name like Anderson, they put Tate - Nunes as the main??

    What a bloody mess. Can't wait all the same.

    Bet they pushed her to the main because they convinced Ronda to come to Vegas and sit cage side for it. There's really no other reason, they'll promote the shît out of Tate vs Rousey at MSG if she wins on Saturday.

    Travis Brown is fighting too so i'd say Ronda was going anyway.

    No that's the co main again.

    I'd say UFC didn't want to give WWE the satisfaction of Brock headlining again.

    If ronda gets the next shot its bullshit, doesnt come close to deserving it

    I thought Dana recently said he wasn't sure if Ronda would even return this year at all, and wasn't as big on the idea of her headlining MSG as he was before. Then again maybe she changed her mind and got onto him about it. It just seems like alot of messing about in 24 hours, but I suppose we've Jones to thank for that!

    Ronda will be cage side and call will be matched with the winner I reckon seen as travis is fighting so they may cut a 205 promo.

    The only champion in the division for several years, who cleared out the division several time over, lost one fight and had surgery keeping her out and murked the current champion twice in easy fashion doesn't deserve a title shot?

    fair enough shes done great things in the past but I just think a rematch with holly or something should be first.

    also, what happens if Silva catches cormier?
