For those who feel Stipe is still not getting any respect,

Stipe opens as the clear betting favorite @ -188, Cromier underdog @ +162

Oh... I guess the oddmakers are no longer willing to make the mistake of making Stipe the underdog... or they just think bigger is better.. I think it's just a plot to strip Stipe's belt by UFC, man. Look into it ;)

I do think that while a cheater tainted his/hers legacy with an asterik behind his achievements.. I've insisted time and time that people shouldn't just throw their skills and abilities under the bus that easily because those skills don't come along with drugs.. you have to train for them nontheless, even if their skills are enhanced by PEDs.

While I don't like PED users for the extant of injury they could inflict on their opponent (Vitor fucking up Bisping's eye), I will give the credit they deserve for their abilities.

I still think JJ might have used PEDs at some point because all the Jones bros popped and his opponents did said he was freakishly strong.. but I'm willing to accept Joe's crazy creatine cutting story as an explaination because it's possible if you think of it. Jones' biggest nemesis is not DC, it's just himself.. he screwed himself more than ever. Anderson Silva is also a strange case for me.. but I would like to think he only started using PEDs after unfortunately snapped his leg against pre-USADA Weidman (not that I'm saying Chris' on something too ). Brock is also a strong case for me as his wrestling is actually slick and his PED usage didn't even hurt too much to his opponents because his strikes are basically 'I'm doing something' GnP. And there is TRT Vitor ..... but hey I'm no PED apologist.

I'm not even sure people would still back Jones when he returns and if you look at fighters who got popped for tainted supplements are treated by the fans as equal as legit PED users. Yeah, I can understand your willingness to forgive Jones because I'm a fan of Josh Barnett personally despite his record setting pops.

The Golden Snitch alluded to what the second offence is linked to, they tested it so its not blow like JR suggested although I can tell you for a fact creatine is a common "cutter" for cocaine but again already linked to a supplement from what the Sniitch is saying.

PED's dont give you skills or really even mucle or extra power for that matter. There are different types which have different desired affects, anabolic vs adrogenic. If you are building mass PED's aid the healing process by producing more proteins you to recover faster and work out way more.......this why you get bigger and stronger.....this where the true advantage lies you are able to train harder and get bigger for weeks its not the benefit of more high testostorone one night in the cage. There are also PED's utilized for ENDURANCE....these were at least one of the types that Silva was using hence why he was not bulked up alot of older athletes cheat with these types.....this is a clear advantage yes you have worked for your skills but you now can go for longer periods at your highest speed.
