Contimplated posting this since the MMA fans seem to get less and less and this board, but what the hell worse that will happen is people will complain or not care and it will be a dead thread.
Overeem, Silva, Mir, Velasquez, Mir, Dos Santos & Nelson Get Pulled For Random Drug Screening By NSAC.
The heavyweights that make up the UFC 146 main card are big guys, in fact, they are massive, but are they cheats, are they taking performance enhancers?
We will know soon enough.
In a rare occurrence the Nevada State Athletic Commission exercised their right to make six UFC 146 participants adhere to their out-of-competition drug testing program.
Immediately following yesterday “UFC 146: Dos Santos vs. Overeem” pre-fight press conference the NSAC required the entire panel of fighters to submit to the random testing.
Roy Nelson, Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, Cain Velasquez, Frank Mir, Junior Dos Santos and Alistair Overeem submitted urine specimens for the purposes of screening for banned substances of abuse and performance enhancing drugs.
Results of the testing will be available in the next 7-14 days.
Out of the six tested Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva is the only fighter to ever test positive for performance enhancing drugs.

We will know in 7-14 days, but I am happy that gaming commison is trying to catch guys on steriods so we have a even playing field. Although these guys have enough money to stay ahead of the tests and can afford to get the newest roids which are not on the lists. Still should be interesting to see if anyone gets cut, but good for the sport in a whole.
