I didn't do too much research but it seems THC levels increase in the blood as fat containing it is burned, despite there being no concurrent THC intake to go along with it.

/ and my guess would be the irregular spikes show up when he's in his weight cut. Just a guess tho I'm no scientist.

Interesting study but I still think the microdosing is a more entertainable theory. Afaik there isn’t conclusive evidence of turinabol being fat soluble and that study isn’t conclusive but can’t be ruled out of possibility. I know there was a pretty large spike in one of the later samples but idk the date on it to compare it to when he was cutting for a fight. Without evidence of turinabol binding to fat and he would’ve had to done a pretty severe weight cut right before being tested for there to be a reason for his spike, it’s probably more likely that he was microdosing a different PED that happened to be contaminated or cut with turinabol.

Clearly they aren’t punishing him for it tho so it is what it is

Epic

yeah who knows. Regardless of how/when it got there, it shouldn't be in his body period lol. If it is actually microdosing it's sad that he can't stop doing it after already being essentially GOAT status. He's got some major mental issues imo. He's either 1) a sociopath with no remorse, or 2) scared shitless that he'll lose and won't be revered as the best.

100% agree

It’s sad seeing someone so talented piss his career away during his prime years

Would u still put him in contention for goat or has he tarnished it? Theres no denying his fight iq and ability to adapt/read opponents, something roids dont rly help much with

everybody is on something

This ^, a very very select few fighters that aren’t on something at that level. Doesn’t tarnish his GOAT status imo. It’s not like he’s winning by flukes and shit, guy is the most technical fighter in the sport and dominant in literally every aspect.

The strangest thing for me is: how guys like him, Silva, and lesnar pop for shit. They have enough money where they can have designer PEDs made specifically for them that are untestable.

this is the guy who drank all night / did cocaine / even had a bong or whatever else in his car and decided to drive nice and drunk all in a rental car at that

rather than paying uber / lyft / or even having a teammate or maybe a friend, family member, fuckin little jimmy down the block drive his ass

Touché
