Sports, Sports Entertainment and FitnessTHIS SPACE OPEN FOR ADVERTISEMENT. YOU SHOULD BE ADVERTISING HERE!
Athletics, Hockey, Soccer, basketball, organize games/events, aerobics, nutritional supplements. Also the home for sports and sports entertainment threads.
iirc it was getting the shot but lawler wanted time off so he id now fighting matt brown.
I read Matt Brown is in some trouble for assaulting his coach so there may be issues now with him fighting.
I suspect the UFC is trying to delay Rory from getting a title shot as long as possible but eventually they will have to give it to him. I get the feeling they only want exciting, entertaining and marketable (for Reebok) title holders and Rory does not fit the bill.

oh yea.. I forgot about that brown incident lol....If he can't fight then Rory vs Hendricks for the title shot needs to happen.
On Wednesday we'll find out if UFC is serious about eliminating PEDs from the sport or not. They can cut it out now by making severe penalties for failing tests. The next year or two of events will be ruined (like I keep saying, almost everyone is going to fail an out of competition test) but it should be clean after that.
Their other option is to keep doing what they're doing, and put things off until later. But then it'll only get worse, and the issue is always going to be there...
They'll probably shame Silva and Hector then talk for a super long time about getting of PEDs and how serious it is, blah blah blah without changing much of their policy
Fact of the matter is they lose too much money every time someone gets busted, especially a big name
I'm still curious why he fail-pass-failed... unless it was a false negative
So he actually wasn't cycling off at all?
According to the commission its a stimulant, so they can release it for grounds of disciplinary action? Not sure
Spoiler!

I recall Forrest Griffin getting popped for Xanax when he fought Silva and it was released to the public as well. I was always under the impression that you could get a TUE for prescribed psych medications granted you declared it to the commission before the fight with an ample amount of time.
Well it looks like they're going for it. Randomized out of competition drug tests for everyone, starting July 1. They're going to spend up to $5 million on this
