Dana White Talks Steroid Testing - MMA Weekly News

[skittlesizzler]

haha dana making fun of baseball. I think baseball players should be allowed to take as many drugs as they want. might be worth watching then.

[SteadyAimer]

@skittlesizzler Lmao

[smoky2004]

If they did olympic style drug testing in the ufc, Dana would have no fighters left.

[mrstraightedgesavior]

@smoky2004 lol well your not wrong

[koko1914]

chael sonnen. enough said

[aldojr86]

Who's he trying to kid. The UFC is full of PED and TRT users. Dana White himself even admitted to using them in highschool. He has a vested interest in his fighters not testing positive so can you really believe him after he himself already abused them. I'm not even talking about his rapid weight gain we all saw in more recent times. The NSAC is a joke and everyone knows it.

[StrengthBuilder77]

@aldojr86 I agree, Its all about MONEY, they dont give a shit who test positive or not if a fighter can get people to buy tickets thats all that matters, if their making millions of dollars why would they test fighters.. Steroids are in every professional sport no matter how you look at it.. Im a bodybuilder myself and have never taken juice, and i think bodybuilding gets the worst rap for steroid user..

[MrDko9873]

i cant remember that last time someone got caught cough sherk cough cough

[Thebuster1383]

Props to Dana White

[mesa480az13]

The MLB is a fuckin joke,, just a bunch of cheaters out cheating each other !

[djmana]

"listen, when you go out and hit a fuckin' ball over a wall, who gives a shit? who cares what you're on?" ...... gold

[kingkevinjoy]

honestly i cant stand mma because it bores me (some of u mma guys say the same abt boxing tho lol) but dana is right. I agree in blood testing but as long as the commision dictates it and not the fighter.

[kenfo0]

LOL...you MUST be kidding. White, like all rich folk, talks about "the commission" as if it is an independent agency out there doing the right thing. They do what is in their ECONOMIC best interests. Drugs are RAMPANT in sports. Want to stop it? EASY. Caught doing illegal drugs, BANNED FOR LIFE. Done. It really is that simple. Yeah, you gained 40lbs of muscle at 25yrs old but "didn't know" what was in the shots your trainer was giving you, huh? LOL. What a bad joke.

[KracBlayn]

i could give a shit - dana white ur a fucken legend love people who just tell it brutally honest and dont care

[jaimemartinez25]

dana white would be the coolest fucking boss

[cragzzz]

@YyJoBb

HGH could help. It could also ruin you forever. Not worth the risk.

[AvatarOfAvatar]

Drugs are for pussies and cheaters. End of story.

[sam6350]

@AvatarOfAvatar

Go watch the documentary "Bigger, Stronger, Faster". I think it'll change your perspective on the whole idea of cheating and creating an 'even playing field'.

[grinder17]

@rugby2413

The worst part about steroids is that they work. Research some studies on your own and look at what doctors have actually said in clinical trials. I've talked to tons of guys who've taken them and they don't regret it in the slightest, you get bigger, stronger, faster, and as soon as you discontinue use your balls grow back. If they were so dangerous then ex-bodybuilders would be falling off the map right now. If you already have emotional problems, any drug will compound them

[119Elias119]

@grinder17 - And your balls will grow back.

Thanks buddy, knowing that your balls will shrink, but they'll grow back, all of a sudden makes steroids ok.

[steroidsR4losers]

@grinder17

They "built" their FAKE muscles with STEROIDS and other DRUGS. Most are too ashamed to even talk about their STEROID CHEATING. Most of these LOSERS don't want to be known as STEROID CHEATERS. The ones who do admit to STEROID CHEATING are just plain ignorant. Aren't these RETARDS supposed to be keeping silent about their STEROID CHEATING???

Stay natural buddy!

[MrMSI91]

@steroidsR4losers You mad fat boy? hahaha.

[Fantastic23000000000]

Victor Conte said that you should never ever give a cut off date at any given time.

[cadmiumdestruction]

"You have to be fucking dumb to take steroids..." what he's really saying is guys just take GH and the other roids that can't be easily tested for

[lmpetuous]

@cadmiumdestruction TRUTH.. agreed.

[dstrbo13]

"bigger faster stronger" is a pretty interesting movie

[GlidarnMadness]

@YyJoBb steroids will make u bigger but it will definetly stunt your growth, dont do it

[swollen4ever]

Dana is so right..

[brad1brad]

If only there were drugs that disguise steroid use.

oww wait...........

[wpauly55]

1:57-2:10 holy shit I just agreed with him too there. He makes a great point, however i think it would be cool shit to see guys openly on steroids getting thrown into a cage and going all out. raise the bar lol.

[TAPOUTorPASSOUT90]

fuck ufc...

[Tappedurassout]

dana rules

[4pl3x]

listen to that sonnen, you are fucking dumb.

[Xytos]

dana white is so fucking rude. show some respect for other sports bitch

[UFCownage]

@Xytos he is you idiot... he mad amazing points you fool..

[jagdjohn96]

arent there different kinds of PEDs and the only bad ones are anabolic steroids?

[jagdjohn96]

the elbow thing was him referring to Josh Barnett when he roided up to beat Randy

[SCROGY]

What Dana forgets with his cocaine point is that there are VISIBLE signs of roid use. If I see a guy with white residue under his nose and a wierd facial twitch whos always acting jumpy then I have a REASON to suspect coke use. If I see a guy with hobbible backne, sudden hair loss, changes in facial structure or sudden rapid mass gains.....I HAVE GOOD REASON to suspect roid use. His point was ludicrous.

[SCROGY]

Anyone that thinks fighters aren't on gear (and a significant number of them) is a moron. Testing in pretty much all sports is a joke. It's funny that Dana says if you get caught you're dumb because that's EXACTLY what one of the worlds foremost experts said: "You're an idiot if you get caught". But he meant that if you get caught it's only because you are using and you don't know what you are doing or aren't getting help to pass your tests from the right people.

[WorldOfBoomCraft]

I agree with Dana White, UFC fighters need this job compared to baseball or football players like he said, who could care less about being caught taking the drugs.

[Filomenon73]

THAT OLYMPIC STYLE TESTING IS GOOD BECAUSE IT'S

BUSTED QUITE A FEW BLACK ATHLETES. I TOO THINK

THEY DOES A FANTASTIC JOB LOL.

[SCROGY]

@Filomenon73 Yo dude. Marion Jones CONFESSED after a life time of using and NEVER getting caught by olympic testing. How do you explain that?

[Filomenon73]

she had to she no choice because they were getting close to busting her,

so by admitting? she'll be perceived with a bit of a good person. And

maintain her dignity. But too bad she didn't get a lenient punishment.

Ben Johnson didn't? Manny doesn't have to hide nothing he's been tested

clean many times. I'm sure they're not doing him any favors when testing

him.

[SCROGY]

@Filomenon73 HOW were they getting close? Her career was OVER! Ben was one in thousands who used steroids that got caught. For every Ben Johson that gets caught THOUSANDS beat the testing. I don't care who tests clean it doesn't mean they are clean. Marion Jones beat her tests her entire career. Testing doesn't mean squat. The people who are paid to help athletes beat the tests are far ahead of the people who test. It's been that way since steroids were first being tested for.

[loslorie]

@SCROGY nobody in this forum can explain that to you, but i can tell you that fooling the drug testing programs in profecional sports in the united states is very easy. just look the NFL on sunday and tell me who is not on steroids?? maybe a couple of quarterbacks arent, the rest all of them are steroid abusers. everybody with some information on the subject can tell you so..

[SCROGY]

@loslorie Agreed. Marion Jones beat her tests her whole career. Football players do it all the time, fighters do it and athletes in every sport that tests for drugs beat the tests. That's because the guys that are paid to help athletes beat the tests are always one step ahead of the testers. I sort of get the feeling that you don't realize I agreed all along with your point....:/

[Bandyleicestercity]

i dint think ufc testing is good enough tbh i think there are so meny fighter on steriods DEFFO MORE RANDOM TESTS

[ThePintoAce]

@Bandyleicestercity

the "ufc" doesnt test its fighters. The "athletic commision" does.

There are probably fighters who take steroids and who cycle it off before the tests, but it could also be that these guys just take supplements. Well, we'll nvr really kno since we arnt fighters but fighters like sean sherk and Ken shamrock are admitting that most fighters take roids.

[CLOVERCITYY15]

shane carwin ? lol

[MrAntdaddy25]

steroids are good for you

[Filomenon73]

YEAH...MAKE YOU BIGGER AND SMALLER DOWN UNDER

[ak3600]

Most of them obviously are on gear. How would a normal person train hard twice a day without any extra recovery aid?

Oh, and if they got tested DURING their training camp...they'd be FUCKED.

[BroomeBlocker4]

@ak3600 As would every SINGLE fighter in the UFC.  When Soa went over there, the UFC was telling him what drugs he should be taking

[NicenEasyuk]

@ak3600 I dunno, whats the point when the MMA weight classes are pretty tight anyway. Maybe light-heavy/heavyweights. sus/deca twice a week for 3 months = 2 stone of gain easy. No point if your a middleweight + below.

[SCROGY]

@NicenEasyuk Dude. Roids like Anavar give you great strength gains WITHOUT a real gain in mass. It has nothing to do with weight when you take Anavar. In fact Anavar is now often called the fighters steroid because it makes you stronger without making you bigger.

[NicenEasyuk]

@SCROGY I'd never heard of Anavar. I was thinking sus and deca. Anabol etc.

[SCROGY]

@NicenEasyuk Google it. You'll find out why grapplers and fighters love it so much.

[SCROGY]

@ak3600 Totally agree.

[000WOLFBANE000]

So if floyd is so into this campaign against steroids how come we are not hearing more about it? How come hes not pressing this issue against the commission? We have heard nothing on this exept when trying to fight Pacman. Floyd IS JUST CHICKEN!! BOKOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[s0ysauce09]

I am fully against steroids. I support Dana White's stand on steroids.

[elij306]

Wait,...... Did I just AGREE with Dana White!

[Wrestlefan1]

@elij306 i think you did... lol... Dana White is a smart guy... almost everything Dana White has said in any of these interviews has been 100% right...

[robadob55]

@elij306 best take on steroids I've ever heard Im with you there...I wish every sport was as hard on steroids as combat sports are....

on a side note Dana saying that you gotta be fucking stupid to take steroids....Chael Sonnen proves my thoughts that hes retarded hahahahaha

[dimzer111]

@elij306 omg me too and i hate that lisp speakin bald cunt

[AllSystems]

it made me feel uncomfortuble the way he avoided the whole "random testing during training" thing

[TGUNZ562]

@AllSystems I feel the same way about Manny Pacquiao. 

[Transatlanticism04]

All mma guys are taking stuff,pathetic!

[TGUNZ562]

@Transatlanticism04 You don't know that.

[Transatlanticism04]

@TGUNZ562 I don't,but i would put money on it that they do!

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[dafuksup]

"i'll be down in the fucking bahamas tell me when the suspensions up" lmao

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[Death656]

all dana does is fuck this fuck that, get some class man ur supposed to be a president of the ufc

[Gimpson21]

I honestly think manny is using steriods or has in the past. There is no reason to deny additional testing. Mayweather has a perfect record and he wants to keep it that way. If you have to cheat to win, he doesn't want to fight you. I would want the same conditions.

[SAKATO05]

I hope Fedor will destroy UFC and that fag Dana

[ericyjpark]

yea yoshi wtf are you on? He was all for the testing

[BirthofCharlie]

I'm a fan of the PAC man, but as people have said, if you got nothing to hide then take the test. First he said he was afraid of needles, but wait Manny you got tattoos, then he said he doesn't feel right for 3 whole days, BULLSHIT! every doctor that was questioned about the effects of giving blood disputed that. I love ya Manny but something doesn't seem right.

[TopazSkillMauler]

last time was chris leben lol

[yoshi207]

Dana knows his sport is full of steroids MOst of his fighters promote and are sponsored by P.E.D manufacturer's So of course he will be against stricter testing . Its like telling vince mcmahon Were going to test your guys he wouldnt allow it .

Dana dissapoints me with this statement

[3nRG]

@yoshi207

What comments are you refering too? Dana clearly said he doesn't want drugs in the sport and doesn't care if the athletic commission tests the fighters every three days. I'm guessing you only watched the first part of the video and then wrongly assumed the rest...

[yoshi207]

@3nRG Shane mosely who was invloved in the balco scandal came out clean under nevadas testing when he even admitted he was on steroids in federal court when he fought delahoya the second time . but somehow he passed nevadas test . victor conte will tell you how easy it is to cheat test and the only way to clean up combat sports is to go third party olympic random blood test . Nevadas testing is way way outdated and it aint randon fighters know they have to take a piss right after a fight

[yoshi207]

@3nRG So by dana saying well let nevad conduct testing . HE might aswell say lets leave it up to the fucking devil . Come on man learn what happens learn about intentions and history and youll see deeper into the problem and the scandals involving nevada . Thats why floyd mayweather wanted someone else because he knows keith kizer from nevad aint worth a shit and just cares about bring money to his comission

[3nRG]

@yoshi207

"Come on man learn what happens" is a presumptuous and fairly ignorant statement. Anyways, I know a lot about the issues with steroids and sports and I was just sticking up for Dana as I truly believe he doesn't want the sport to be mix up with with steroids. And I still believe you posted your first comment without watching the whole video but whatever man.

[kennival1]

@yoshi207 uhh didnt he JUST say in the video its up to the athletic commision? oh yeah. he did.

[yoshi207]

@kennival1 Do you know how many boxers have already cheated nevada's drug testing ? Nevada will never be for stricter drug testing because random blood testing would cost them millions . Saying leave it to Nevada is like saying i dont give a fuck if they use steroids or p.e.d.s . . Brock and randy would be fucked

[blackstersherron]

@yoshi207 you are correct what it comes down to is money, they know there is drug use and they know without it, many good fights would not take place. When Mark McGuire was knocking home runs out the part all crazy it brought the ratings up. so durgs go hand and hand with sports, take it away and we will be left with luke warm boring fights. Good fights bring in good money so Nevada wants money that is why the fighters can work around the test.

[Clymax01]

their should be olympic style drug tests in mma/boxing...olympic athletes are always getting caught out because their methods of testing are the best...all of sport should do this...do we wont sport to be drug free..i do

[EZBROWN27]

Neither did Bonds test positive. So people leave him alone and stop accusing him. If you support manny support Bonds!!

[bigassballsyes]

lol these fighters are all on it, period! there si no exceptions I'm afraid.

[sinhaserpente]

UFC Fighters are tested for steroids only for championship fights. All other bouts aren't tested. So the system is a bit lax. However, at least you know the champions like gsp, silva, penn, are all clean. Lesnar had a championship fight and must have passed the test, he may just be that big, I mean if he needs XXXXL gloves, I don't think steroids can increase your had size like that, I think he is just naturally that big. What ever he may have taken in the past I don't think he is taking it now

[TheSeeean]

notice he grabs his drink wen the conversation gets deep about steriods...i play poker alot..and smtn about that tells me hes nervious!

[aussiebowhunter01]

i picked up on that also

[streetshiz08]

Don't get me wrong I like Dana, but I'm a prof. baseball player and this steroids bullshit in subjective to baseball only. Not everyone has done it or even thought too. It isn't about getting bulky and being exsplosive like other sports for baseball it's about recovery. When you're on steroids or HGH your body recovers so much faster then normally. When you play 162 games a season it's pretty hard to one stay healthy and two put up numbers to keep your job and get paid.

[Devon187]

cypher aka alex jones

[rampagesgrill84]

Oh come on, what a joke. Floyd is a damn sissy, the nickname "pretty boy" suits this thing well.

[cypher954]

listen, at least 80 % of fighters in the UFC are on steroids...the problem these days is that all the steroid tests are completely outdated...the only tests that up-to-date are the olympic drug tests...GSP is on roids...Mir is on roids...Todd Duffee is definitely on roids...there's just so many guys who are obviously on roids...I don't think Bj Penn is and Brock might not even be on them but there is some guys who are obviously on them...they have these new steroids that don't show up on tests

[GuardianAngel5150]

Maybe they are outdated, but that's what the official athletic commission uses, and if you're clean there? You're clean to fight under their regulatory requirements. So you can fight..

It's that simple.

[SpirtualSuzie]

atleast 80% lol please let me know how you came up with the numbers and how you researched it because it sounds like shit.whiteboy

[lilsm555]

How is mir On steriods.. You can obiviously see he bulked up he pays trainers to help him with that.. he bulked up he didnt get super ripped... Brock i dont think is on steriods in wwe days he was you can see the difference he was Cut and alot bigger than now he looks legit hes just a big guy... And bj penn.. Bj penn didnt even train seriously for his whole career he just started now and he isnt even ripped at all he has close to no muscles... everyone else i cant disagree on

[BobReefer]

GSP is on steroids? hahahaha shit man you sound like BJ Penn making excuses. Mir isn't on steroids either he clearly changed his strength program and it shows.... LOL stupid comment.

[cypher954]

almost all of them are on steroids these days that's why some fights get postponed every now and then and you don't know why...like Liddell's mysterious "hamstring" injury...lol...he probably failed the preliminary drug test that UFC gives...UFC gives all their stars a preliminary drug test before the Athletic commission does theirs so that they don't get in trouble...that's why Brock Lesnar's fight with Carwin was postponed recently...half of these "injuries" aren't really injuries

[cypher954]

that's why you haven't heard of anyone get in trouble for steroids in the UFC in a really long time because they do their own tests before Athletic commission does it so they can insure that no one gets caught

[BobReefer]

Lol you sound like a conspiracy theorist ahahaa... come on seriously? you think CHUCK of all people with his big gut, is on steroids? give me a break. Lesnar's on steroids? No he's been that big since his college days I'm not buying that either what a joooke

[cypher954]

you're a conspiracy theorist...you think no fighters are on steroids? that's a conspiracy if I ever heard one...you think that a multi-million dollar company would leave it up to chance as to whether or not their star fighters will get suspended for a year due to steroid use? hahaha, that's pretty funny...and I'm sure they let Peyton Manning get tackled real hard without pads in spring training you fuking idiot

[BobReefer]

did i say no one? NO. Sean Sherk was clearly on roids, Leben got suspended... so obviously there are some guys who do it, but the guys you named... like come on next thing i know you're going to be claiming that Dustin Hazelett is on roids too... fucking plug.

[bam6956]

just bc some one is ripped doesnt mean they are on roids. Now hgh is a different story i dont believe they can accuratelly test for that. These guys also lose a lot of weight before the fights. Are there guys on roids? Yes but to say Gsp or Mir is without any proof. Gsp has always been in good shape. Mir you could make a case for but who knows you can change things in your diet and use supplaments can also help like creatine

[brisbanebomber]

Dana is a idiot he said floyd accused pacman of taking shit.. then he goes on to accuse every athlete from baseball and football.

[GuardianAngel5150]

No, but he said that when all you're doing is hitting a ball over a fence who cares? But when you're in a sport where you can get on top of someone and elbow them in the head? There's a huge difference.. AT the end of the day? Nobody really gives a shit if a baseball player is on steroids.. Only the jerkoff eggheads out tehre care about that shit. Everyone else just wants their team to get a W

[froog1988]

this is all true.

[byron35]

That sounds likea damage control statement as far as brock is concerned.If it comes out that he has used or was using, and it caught up to him, hes covered with this statement alone.

[2mac22]

your right!

[Newfie4646]

chris lebin tested positive for steroids and hes fighting this weekend

[stressfree27]

he was suspended for 9 mths after ufc 89
