Early UFC 74/75 Lines

mikey, a couple points.

I never said he 'was still guilty'. I just said that I have zero sympathy for him. He controls what he ingests, and he HAS to realize that pumping his body full of chemicals is likely to trigger something he didn't intend it to, especially when he is taking said chemicals at comical levels. I never said he's still 'guilty', i just said i don't want to hear him boohoo about it. He made a choice with risk involved, and the risk hit.

Re: Strength. I don't believe that all that seperates the top level of these guys is strentgh. Not true at all imo. BJ Penn could whoop a lot of roiders because of natural skill and technique. Matt Serra is not as finely tuned an athlete as GSP, yet easily beat him last time because GSP's technique got sloppy. Technique is still far more important than strength.

The athletic commissions aren't testing for high levels, they're testing for banned substances. And if Sherk didn't take any banned substance, he didn't break any rules.

This is incorrect. Everyone has nandro, in about 2-6mg i think. His level was 12. They absolutely ARE testing for high levels, and not a banned substance. It would be hard to find a fighter without nandro in his system, because it's naturally there.
