there was a guy at the gym i used to lift at who was a pro bodybuilder and he added a drug to his postcycle that was supposed to help your balls recover better but it turns out one of the side effects is that you start developing more melanoblasts so you start turning a weird yellowish brown and eventually get skin cancer. and he was absolutely willing to do it to reduce steroid-induced ball tinyness by 3% or whatever.

i think if you want a level playing field a PED ban is better than "let everyone do whatever" because with the latter guys will absolutely use poo poo with clearly documented horrible side effects so they can be really good right now. even in the non-hitting-people sports this is still true (as inri has been relating with cycling) and frankly i dont want to see somebody's balls become a sentient and separate entity and eat their whole body so that the world record on the 100m becomes .01 seconds faster.

it was because they had so many red blood cells that it increased their blood's viscosity beyond what your resting heart rate can pump, right? that's kind of cool in the perverse mad science sort of way.

supposedly .. this was around the time that the harmful side effects were becoming known in the medical community so i think it was more a superstitious overreaction than athletes being in any real danger though. epo is used in every sport including MMA even to this day

I'd rather fighters not do steroids and not cut weight. Both would be immensely beneficial for their health. Ultimately I just want to watch good fights, and cancelling fights is worse for the sport [fans] than roids or weight cuts or whatever.

You have to give guys like Vitor and Dan Henderson credit for still fighting in the USADA era.
They openly have ball problems and only fight without TUEs for the sake of tiny-balled pride, and to honour the memory of their ballsack's former glory.

Perhaps the most divisive point is the adoption of additional weight classes at 165, 175, 195 and 225 pounds. The UFC, though, seems on board with the change, per Novitzky’s letter.

Do a mandatory seminar on supplements, focusing on ball enhancement. Traditionally, PEDs tend to harm your balls instead of protecting them and enhancing them.
You need to paint a picture for them of a future where they fight with better balls thanks to science. It could be a world of freak athletes with super balls.

It doesn't specify dropping 170 but that would be the only possible result. Having 155/165/175 would be great; there's more than enough talent for an additional division, and lots of fighters who are borderline due to the 15-pound gaps would have easier cuts and/or competition more their size. On the other hand, I'm dubious about adding 1-2 more divisions between 175 and heavyweight given the dire situation at 205. Sadly from a policy perspective it's logical; there are fighters making massive cuts to each 185 and 205, so something would need to be done. Maybe have it go 175/190/210? The respective 15 and 20 pound gaps would now be at a (slightly) higher weight, thus (slightly) reducing the incentive to do huge cuts. I can't think of any current heavies that would try to make 210 if it was added.

And people often forget he had a torn ACL in the first stipe fight, had surgery straight after. It makes sense because his movement was really bad and he gutted it out anyway. He should win this weekend....
