Work Friend Keven posted:I mean if you get general enough, sure, they're I guess both organs in the body that you need to live with average standup. But the heart pumps blood throughout the body and mostly sets it's wrestling up with quick, lunging hooks; whereas the liver processes toxins and usually fades hard in the fourth round. Fine ... i concede defeat. yes it is true that the liver and the heart are actually literally the same organ even if there are some minor stylistic differences in how they function

Gay Horney posted:he's kind of right. For a lot of styles and a lot of fighters you need to be really relatively safe to throw a jab. The jab in MMA makes you vulnerable to an overhand right or cross unless you throw it perfectly. Perfectly doesn't just mean keeping your elbow tight and your knees bent it also means you have to know the distance exactly. In other words you have to set up the jab while being aware of your wrestling opportunities, his wrestling opportunities, the feet, etc. There's a loving lot of work and a lot of just circumstantial poo poo that has to come together before you can throw a truly safe jab. Many fighters would rather set up a bigger strike. U should get a job as like one of those supporting anime characters who stands on a nearby rock and narrates all of Gokus fights in dbz

Skip My Posts posted:whats a biological passport? i have one :-] basically you go in and do blood tests and they cross reference them with any doping controls you undertake to check for abnormalities. its about as strict as testing gets but its still not perfect. still im a big fan of it. i have to respect the ufc for doing it

Captain Log posted:Why is loving Keven the only dude here who really seems to get why a biological passport is a supremely hosed up concept? 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.

its no good for anyone involved if someone gets wrongly sanctioned so youll hardly ever see it happen. even in cases where the athlete was probably on something it can end in disaster for the doping agency and the promotion if it cant be proven beyond doubt, cyclist roberto heras was recently awarded the equivalent of $1 million for successfully appealing an EPO sanction, despite testing positive for EPO

willie_dee posted:Isn't that because of false positives? One of the reason cycling was so obviously doped to the gills was that every single test ever was coming up negative, if the tests were legitimate and no one was doping, you would randomly get a false positive and have to retest the sample. That's got nothing to do with the biological passport which, for instance, says your testosterone has been between 600-2100, a bit above normal human range but with enough scope to be realistic your whole life, and if you suddenly start hitting 10000, something fucky is going on, even if you don't test positive for Test roids blood sample wise. the case i mentioned was ruled as a false positive but only because it was deemed that the samples werent handled properly, which opens up the possibility of them being contaminated either accidentally or intentionally. even though its 100000 times more likely that he just took EPO and tested positive for it. so its in the interests of the athletes and the doping bodies to handle samples and testing properly and the biological passport is a big step towards that

Skip My Posts posted:from what i've seen personally long term steroid use can have pretty rough effects on guys health. a couple guys on my wrestling team in college that were abusing steroids went on to have severe heart issues or other weird poo poo. i don't really know poo poo about it tho so maybe there were a lot of other factors like how they were cycling or maybe they were taking bull steroids or something some pro cyclists from the 70s and 80s died from cancer which was found to be a probable result of epo abuse, and there was a famous case of a guy in the 60s called Tom Simpson who keeled over and died mid race because of a combination of competing on amphetamines and high summer heat. there are also cases of botched blood transfusions making athletes critically ill, athletes who have underwent "ozone therapy" which is dangerous and has no actual benefit etc. so to argue that theres no reason to test for peds in sport is insane. frankly there is no safe way to take banned peds that are a) controlled and must be obtained illegally b) untested and c) not administered by a health professional

tesilential posted:I agree, but A, B and C are all caused by the prohibition of steroids, not the steroids themselves. If they were allowed then those would all cease to be risk factors. untrue cos it wasnt any different before either. theres a lot of horror stories about the realities of professional sport before ped use was banned .. you cant trust people to police themselves. sport is undeniably a lot safer nowadays than it used to be

cis autodrag posted: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.
