Veganism is dumb. Any diet that has to be extremely well regulated or supplemented to prevent you from being malnourished, sick or worse is bad. An actual good diet is simple. Lean poultry or fish; fruit; cooked vegetables; wheat or grain breads/cereal/granola; nuts; cheeses; milk and...

Trigg..ahhh! Almost got me.

If you win it's inspirational for your kid. If you lose it's humiliating for you and potentially emotionally scarring for your kid. It's called high-stakes parenting.

While this is common practice, it's not usually so blatant. If you're gonna bribe people be subtle about it.

I think the title was supposed to say Gay Frank.

Meh, aren't his parents rich? He's not some struggling average joe with a wife and 3 starving kids risking it all to chase a pipe dream. He can do whatever he wants, and this is what he wants. Better to try to make this happen now while he's young. If it doesn't pan out then the option to...

The problem with the UFC is they try to have it both ways. On one hand they're pushing drug testing hard, working with commissions and doing everything they can to officially be able to sell this as legitimate, regulated competition. Then on the other hand they're selectively punishing or...

Intelligent people tend to be concise. People who turn a simple statement into a shakespearean monologue are just desperate to sound intelligent. He basically does communicate like an English lit student who's trying to show off and/or prove something.

So, you see nothing wrong with Conor's haters obsessively attacking him at every turn, but it's a problem when his fans defend him at every turn? The obsessed losers that hate Conor are cool, but the obsessed losers that love him are lame? Interesting logic.

I blame society. Knowing how litigation works in this country, even I'd be extremely tempted to goad a millionaire into punching me.

I didn't say he'd get away with it; I said a reduced sentence would be far more likely, since they have the discretion to do that and often will if the proceeding is inconvenient. Making it easy for them to prove your complete and unmitigated guilt just makes it more likely that you'll receive...

Which is why he shouldn't have confessed and presented them with the offending supplement. Claim ignorance and present the possibility of a tainted supplement after the fact. Then send the administration a complete mess of pseudo-scientific nonsense involving every supplement you've ever...

You said that not confessing wouldn't make a difference, because he still tested positive. That's not true, though. Confessing outright is denying yourself the opportunity to push for some kind of discretionary reduction, by making full prosecution inconvenient for them.

No idea. I'm sure Machida has people who can go through the documentation; find every pretext for plausible denial or mitigation, both historical and recent, and just keep presenting them one by one. They can start by dusting off the popular tainted supplements explanation and go from there...

Actually, it typically will make a difference. Denial and/or fabricating any kind of mitigating circumstances is far more likely to win you a reduced sentence than simply admitting guilt. Administrations like this are given a lot of discretion, and most of the time would rather strike a deal...

This is interesting. I kind of assumed that USADA worked either with or directly for state athletic commissions in these instances. If, however, they're not actually representative by proxy of the state, then why the hell are they granting exemptions or leveraging testimony for reduced...

Machida should've never confessed. Seems like USADA will buckle easily if you put up a fight, but if you roll over and give them everything they need suddenly they're no-nonsense tough guys.

He's very recognizable here and seemed like a good person. Very depressing news. RIP.

Eh, whether or not Bas is a habitual scam artist isn't the issue. Whether or not Bas was complicit in the scam, he used his credibility to bring in a bunch of fighters who were used and not paid. If he'd apologized and indicated he was scammed to it would be one thing, but instead Bas was...

She's a fighter. She's also leveraging the exposure and her own good looks as a way to make extra money without risking brain damage. It's funny how much the ugly masses begrudge the options attractive people have.
