Hopefully all a big mistake?

He sat at the post-fight press conference talking about how clean he was etc.

No way could he be that stupid?

They're saying he popped from a test after the weigh-in. Surely he couldn't go through a whole camp and test clean and then decide to take something after the weigh-in?! I know nothing about steroids, but is it possible to get an immediate boost like that?

Apparently it was some old-arse anabolic steroid popular in the 60s that takes weeks to have an effect.

Jones has long since used up any benefit of the doubt, though. Really feel for Daniel Cormier now, lad is a class act and has had his career dominated by this cheater's numerous fùck ups.

an old steroid that takes weeks to take effect? what are you talking about?
you obviously know nothing about steroids.

there's two scenarios here:
he was sabotaged either by tainted meat (steroids are prevalent in meat) or a spiked something by someone trying to ruin his life/career
or
he was taking them throughout camp and masking it somehow or other but because of severe dehydration at the weigh in (he tested positive right after the weigh in) when his piss was pure and unfiltered he pissed positive...

The dehydration factor could account for it showing up from tainted meat also as there is less filtered or flushed piss - so anything in his system would show up however small

I've chatted to a NABBA bodybuilder on this and he openly takes steroids and has done for the 20+ years I've known him and I've asked him to explain the possibilities

[Syferus]

I meant how long the effects stay in the system. Anecdotal evidence I've found suggests 5-6 weeks.

Yes, Turinabol is a very old steroid that the East Germans relied on heavily in the 60s and 70s. Apparently newer tests make some of the after effects identifiable a long time after a cycle has ended.

Jones is not only a cheat but a stupid cheat. This isn't the first time he's been caught doping, we should remember.

Legend? For heaping praise on McGregor? For reciting some poetry?

Eubank was a cracking boxer but he is a gobshite of the highest order. An egotistical bellend who is head over heels in love with himself.

But he is talking about McGregor and he is Irish so that makes Eubank a stand up guy

No chat about GSP's return this weekend?

It's been struggling to sell apparently but the card is fantastic.

Duffy got dropped there

[gallsman]

Remarkable night of fights and terrific stuff from GSP as he looked to be tiring. His first stoppage since 2009.

Bisping needs to retire.

[DuffleKing]

Great card overall. Delighted to see Cody caught - can't warm to him at all. Upsets in all three of the main fights.

Can't help wondering about about GSP's body transformation and how comfortable and powerful he was at the weight.

[gallsman]

He's been out of the cage and training more or less flat out for years. He used to have to cut loads to make 170 too.

Was he tied to any drugs testing during his 'retirement', though?
