Seems as though the fighters have somewhat figured out the system a little better now.

As soon as it was announced, you know guys were going to get scared straight into jumping right off, scared of the 2 year ban. And you know what happens to the body after that. Sure enough, those were the guys that got affected the most.
After that came the period where guys figure out new ways to game the system, and we're starting to see better physiques again. Aldo looks pretty much how he did before USADA for instance. Others are still getting popped for minor things like designer drugs and peptides. Others still have their new natty physiques.
I think eventually the PED users will keep getting caught, except for the very top few guys who can afford to stay ahead of the curve
