TJ Dillashaw 1st interview about EPO use - "I CHEATED"
Chael P Sonnen - you become more of a hero each day! TJ sat down with Chael and, inevitably, they spoke about TJ's ban and using EPO. Chael said they did not intend on this, but, of course it was going to come up. TJ had to come out and publicly speak about this sooner or later. Who better to be the interviewer than Chael! Video below: Thoughts: I could say "at least he admits it" which is true in some cases. But, there is nothing else too it. I guess all we can say is we will wait for his comeback. TJ is a great fighter and he really has tainted his legacy with this - he really will have to come back strong and absolutely dominate for the rest of his career if he wants the fans to look past this. Most fans seem to have forgotten all of Jones' issues... so I'm sure the same will happen with TJ. Do you?

MMA Drug Testing- The policy Change Question.
With the recent Jon Jones drug testing controversy, many are looking to the drug testing methods and policies in MMA. The concern in the returned test was "pulsing" of drugs, and it makes sense to look at the MMA drug testing requirements for clarity. In September of 2018, the USADA changed its policy regarding how a fighter can participate in fighting after a positive test result. The USADA will provisionally suspend a fighter who fails a test, but will keep the details and failed result private until it is absolutely validated. Fighters like Junior Dos Santos who received a fake positive suffered when their results were called out. This new policy maintains the "innocent until proven guilty" policy that enforces fairness. In my opinion, the September 2018 policy revision is very fair. The results must be kept private until they can be validated. Lab results can be sent to another lab for validation. What is your take? Is drug use a problem in MMA?
