It wasn't actually the banned substance that he popped for or still had in his system. It is a metabolite which is left over after the substance is out of your system. The metabolite supposedly does nothing for you, its only evidence you took the steroid sometime in the past.
Looking at this in the most charitable light for USADA possible (which is questionable), in 2017 he was popped because the metabolite shouldn't have been there at all. In 2018, they are choosing to believe that the metabolite is old, but they have no proof of that.
It is more likely that it was from a steroid ingestion in 2018. [Reply]
woops, with the distraction of the Holidays I forgot the schedule. Luckily, there's only a couple events going on.
UFC 232 prelims have just started on FS1, and the PPV is 9pm. This PPV is obviously very good.
The tournament finals for the PFL is on New Year's Eve on NBCSN (6pm-10pm CT), 8 fights in 8 different divisions, the winners of each fight will win $1 Million. So, its probably worth watching just for the drama. [Reply]
