Keven joking aside I was making the point that if GSP really had popped for something Dana White would be crowing about it to every reporter he could. Since he hasn't I don't think it is likely.

TL;DR: they can test old samples and pop you for poo poo they didn't originally catch or have a test for.

Basically they have a record of a bunch of biological variables and they track changes over time for anything suspicious that would indicate PED use. Especially PEDs that are hard to test for through normal methods

In layman's terms bc that's how I understand it myself, there are PEDs and other banned substances that cause detectable changes in your body, but very faint ones that are only detectable over a long period of time. So a bio passport is where the testing agencies collect various samples of blood/pee/skin whatever over the course of months to years and track your poo poo so they can see what your hormones are doing and if they are showing long term signs of PED use that are hard or impossible to detect otherwise.

The ethical concerns, as I understand it come in a sci fi paranoia sense where people are worried it's just weird and lovely to have a long term file of your DNA locked up somewhere for who knows how long, and a bit more practically with whether it works well enough to justify keeping it around or if it's just going to flag you for natural poo poo like your balls not working as well bc you're 35 or whatever

Yoel's never going to fight Bisping since he'll piss hot. Jacare won't because he's literally a million years old and will piss hot. Bisping will retire after beating an unretired Rich Franklin in a five round decision.

its fine. they have your bloods on record but so what .. its not like you dont need to clear a medical to compete anyway. there are way more ethical concerns with letting athletes get away with taking untested poo poo and beating up other people while on that poo poo.

They've been pretty open since they started USADA testing that they'll keep your samples on file and be able to retroactively drug test you, I thought the consensus was that it's a good thing overall?

I would guess that on top of not happening till November at the earliest, they also pulled the Bisping GSP fight because no one seemed to give a poo poo about it.

If GSP is going to still fight I hope it's back at 170. Maybe he can jab Woodley to death.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
bisping is the best and i really hope he wins but yoel has shown a worrying lack of getting insanely tired against weidman. in the jacare fight he was so gassed that he landed like one significant strike in the first minute of round 2 and then did nothing for the rest of the fight. in the weidman fight he was beating weidman in round 2 with wrestling and competitive in stand up and in round 3 still had enough gas to kill weidman with nearly no cheating...

I look forward to Romero's baffled expression and shoulder shrug as the ref screams for a towel between rounds to wipe off all the water that somehow got poured all over him.
