Idiot. According to Cody Garbrand (glass jaw boy) the entire Alpha Male gym is using banned substances. I'm not the least bit surprised to see this in the UFC and predict we'll see more.

Is there a point all the failed drug tests begin noticably hurting the UFC?

Everyone is being pretty tight lipped about what it was.

"please know that I'm working with my team to understand what has occurred"
I'm going to bet that either TJ or his absorbed twin knows exactly what happened so I find this pretty disingenuous.

And to Perseus - as long as they keep putting on good fights no one cares. Has the NFL been permanently harmed by the laundry list of guys who get suspended?

i emailed the guy who was in charge of his weight loss regimen. he's a triathlete, lives not too far from me. he had dillishaw on the ironman plan. i never heard back from the guy. i wanted to know what that guy is doing to get dillishaw that light without sacrificing lean mass.

oh well.

Interesting. I poked around a bit because I was curious as well.

It bears keeping in mind the UFC doping rules are quite extensive. I assume you know or at least are familiar with Ben Greenfield. I listen to his podcast. He trains quite a few triathletes and MMA fighters. He has often commented that some of the regimens he uses he cannot use on his athletes because many sports have strict restrictions even on, for example, IV use and limit the amount of fluids you can infuse, even if it is only saline.

i know ben very well. IV use is very restrictive across the WADA code. anything sport or performance related that involves a needle.

It's possible TJ wasn't doping, but, was using IV infusion of otherwise permissible substances. For example, Ben talks about taking IV infusions of 100,000 mg of Vitamin C. Even though Vitamin C is not a banned substance, such a manner of infusion would violate MMA rules.

But, I'm purely speculating and giving TJ the benefit of the doubt.

In a unique turn for dope cheats, he admits he fucked up.


"I messed up," he began by stating. "I've got to man up to what I did."
Dillashaw was suspended one year by the New York State Athletic Commission and was given a two-year ban by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for testing positive for EPO, a synthetic hormone. The findings came after the bantamweight titleholder lost a flyweight championship fight to Henry Cejudo on Jan. 19.
"I've been having a hard time trying to forgive myself for this, which I should have a hard time," he said.
Dillashaw said he wants to be better for his 15-month-old son and regrets the undue criticism his family, teammates, and gym are taking.
"I want to apologize to my fans, anyone I've let down, obviously my family and my coaches, my teammates. Can't say sorry enough for the stuff you've been dealing with because of me."
