Yeah listened to that earlier, was sad seeing Ariel get visibly upset.

It's the problem you have when you have mobsters running a company though, they go back to mobster tactics.

I am almost done with the sport, every month it becomes less and less about what I am all about. Its turning into a slightly more violent version of the WWF sponsored by the US military, not really my bag

[quote = The UFC]Following a conversation with the editorial team at SB Nation, UFC will not prevent MMAFighting.com from receiving media credentials to cover live UFC events. We respect the role the media plays in our sport and beyond, including MMAFighting’s ability to report news. However, in our opinion, we believe the recurring tactics used by its lead reporter extended beyond the purpose of journalism. We feel confident our position has now been adequately communicated to the SB Nation editorial team.

UFC’s goal as the world’s leading mixed martial arts promotion is to cultivate interest in its world-class athletes and events, and deliver for the fans. We will continue to introduce this sport and its athletes to new fans across the world, and we will do so by working alongside media across all platforms. [/quote]

All bans lifted apparently.

Wanted to send a message, which is a bit of a joke.

Helwani did nothing wrong, unless he released previously embargoed information early. Which I doubt because the guy isn't an idiot.

One of the Brothers does not like him and Ariel is one of those guys who rubs certain people up the wrong way. I am glad common sense prevailed .. still the UFC is turning into quite the ****ehouse Cuntbag of a Company

MMA legend Kimbo Slice has died.

UFC confirm they have triggered an exemption for new fighters that they don't need to be drug tested for 4 months after they sign- for Brock.

Basically saying he's full to the brim of steroids but having him fight on the card is more important.

[Alex]

What a joke. That shouldn't be legal in combat sports.

[Hollowman]

There should be an exemption for clean fighters bringing shovels into the octagon against dopers.

surely he's drugs tested for the WWE as well though?

[meffin]

I seriously doubt it. They are all juiced in WWE

No reason to drug test, as there is no real competition- its like drug testing for Eastenders

[Alex]

I think its a policy that is there to stop people, or at least make it harder. But I dont think its that strict.

They only seem to take it serious for the low level guys.

Does WWE have a drug testing program?


Yes. WWE’s Substance Abuse and Drug Testing policy was designed by Aegis Sciences Corporation and is run 100% independently of WWE.

WWE has a three strike system. The first strike is a 30 day suspension without pay. The second strike is a 60 day suspension without pay. The third strike is termination of WWE Talent’s contract. The policy states that a WWE Talent who tests positive and receives a strike is subject to follow up testing.

[spud_gun]

What do the WWE test for? Is it along the lines of WADA testing?
