[reporter] Would it be considered doping if he took some kinda medicine to control the pain
[aldo doctor] Yeah if you perform an injection in this place with corticosteroids this is a doping. But we may, we may, we may report to the commission about the necessity of the injection, the corticosteroids. So they gave us a therapeutic use exemption for this medicine and we can, we can, use this kinda drug to improve the pain.

The LOLwtf rating of all this stuff is off the meter.

Awaiting Aldo's army on here to tell you 'he tested clean, don't need to hear any more lalalalalala can't hear you lalalala'

 

[Triple sec]

Aldo-gate, indeed.

Great work. I only hope that justice is served some day.

Aldo fans:

 

[BrazilianDude]

Lol at "undercover" police officer. It was a cop training at the gym. The most standard thing you'll find in any martial arts gym in Brazil.

 

[kevin1916]

Where there's smoke...

 

[AbrasiveAce]

I just picture Aldo exaggeratedly faking a trip and spilling his cup o' piss all over the collection guy. "whoopsiedaisy"

 

[dildos]

awesome. cheers for putting this together ts.

 

[UpaLoompa]

Corticosteroids must be bad, they have steroids in the name...

So we've known for awhile that Brazil's bureaucracies are fucked up and if you've ever been to a bjj tournament you know that being late is pretty much to be expected. Is the theory then that the pretty severe rib injury was self-inflicted to avoid testing repercussions?

Exactly. What the "oh my god drama drama Aldo must be cheating oh I am so upset he did not fight injured personal vendetta" boys keep forgetting is that for their stupid ass fuck conspiracy to have been an actual reality it requires more jumps through hoops that the other way round...

 

[d2s]

The spilling of the urine.. is that legit?

That is part of their madness. A lot of them truly believe that along with this drug test being intentionally sabotaged that Aldo..

1. Lied about the severity
2. Injured himself intentionally to avoid drug testing
3. Believe that Aldo must have been "going crazy" in sparring to get the injury

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

damn......im a aldo fan. but this is undeniably fishy. whats worse is im getting more lenient on my thoughts for ped users and i dont like that. From lombard,silva,barnett, now Giblert........i dont know how many i can lose people before i just say fuck it.

please stay clean aldo

No man. This is badly reported bias. Don't worry about Aldo. He is not juicing. Because he annoyed a lot of butt hurt fans and because he is Brazilian the witch hunt has degenerated into manipulated lists and hearsay. You want the truth just wait a bit and don't waste your time getting swept up in the xenophobia

 

[suffersystem]

He did eventually test clean, so in the end that's all I care about.


That being said, it is a very fishy situation, and hopefully just everybody being paranoid. It does raise some interesting theories though, and funny how it all went down. Hopefully this just means the testers will get all their ducks in a row come the new testing laws now and this kind of thing won't happen again.

 

[Steve08]

It's cited in the official collection report made by Drug Free Sport. I don't see why they'd let him get away with it if they suspected him of doing so maliciously. Who knows what happened, I wasn't there.

But, good luck explaining that to rabid Conor fans who are convinced that he actually faked a rib injury to avoid fighting Conor and probably think there is some nation-wide conspiracy to protect Brazilian athletes from PED testing. The fact that he was granted a TUE for treatments is just hokum.

 

[Jackonflame]

All you need to know about Aldo's drug test

It's clean

Spoiler

 

[method115]

This all seem very suspect when laid out like this. Either way it wont matter if Aldo was using will know soon enough. Every body is going to be randomly tested and Aldo wont be able to play these games every single time.

This is am honest question, because logically I can't figure this out,
The xray and MRI show a severe Rib Fracture, something u can see with 0 experience, how does a doctor miss that and sanction him to fight? ??

More importantly how does Aldo take a week to see if he'll be ok, his 10th rib is broke into 2 pieces, does he think in 10 days it'll magically re-attach itself??

Also that the pictures of the xray and mri that were send to the American doctors were taken with a camera phone??? What type of 3rd world shit is that
