GSP sprach mal wieder ueber drug testing bei Joe Rogan, und meinte das es immernoch leicht waere du dopen, selbst unter der USADA.
“Even now, it’s still easy to cheat. Even now. Let’s say I want to have an injection of a product that will last in my body for two days or one day. So I know that particular day I cannot be tested, because if I am, I’m screwed. So I put on my USADA]whereabouts app that I’m traveling to freakin’ Antarctica or anywhere, somewhere that is believable, and then I come back two days after. That substance will stay in my body for a certain period of time, but the effect of it will last maybe a month. And now we’re talking about performance enhancing drugs — people, they misunderstand this.
They go, ‘Well yeah, but it still doesn’t make a difference.’ Yes, it does make the different in an athlete. And the reason, in the eighties and before, [PEDs gave] you more power, more stamina, more endurance. Now, man, with the technology, they have stuff that will change your reaction time, your confidence, your reset time. And this is a huge, huge application, man. If you play baseball or you’re fighting, you see the things coming, you have your reaction time, you’re sharper in the brain. What makes a guy athletic, it’s not his muscle. The reason why Usain Bolt ran faster — there’s many reasons why, but one of the main reasons is because his brain, his nervous system is faster.
And if you make your nervous system better and more competent, you’re a better athlete. You’re a better fighter, you’re a better baseball player. You’re a better person, in a way. Of course that effect is limited, but there’s still the muscle memory thing that will last and it could last forever.”
Zu Johny Hendricks Dopingspekulationen damals bei ihrem Fight meinte GSP:
“You asked me if I think he was taking PEDs. I don’t know. I have suspicions, but it’s not right if you don’t have the evidence to accuse someone. And even today, do I think there’s a lot of guys who take steroids and performance-enhancing drugs? Yes. And I have an idea of who, and I’m pretty — like, just for my gut feeling — 99.9 percent sure. But I don’t have the evidence.
It’s not what you think, it’s not what you know. It’s what you can prove. And I don’t know. I’m in the game, I’m talking to a lot of people. Between fighters, we know who does. There’s only a few handful of people who do the whole thing [in regards to supplying PEDs]. One guy could do this team, this team, this team, and one other guy can do two teams. The word goes around, man. Especially when you’re a complete fighter, the word goes around.”
GSP hat natuerlich Recht, auch heute wird natuerlich gedopt. Die Doper sind in der Regel immer einen Schritt voraus, und natuerlich sollten die USADA Regeln auch immer wieder angepasst und verbessert werden weil sie nicht perfekt sind. Allerdings ist das USADA testing schon um einiges besser als davor das testing. Das macht schon einen Unterschied.
