The stat maybe true, but don't make up statistics if you are not willing to back them up with names. You have ignored this user.

Chris Power 19 Member Since: 9/22/08 Posts: 4607	The idea of purity in MMA is a bit overblown - is it better everybody just takes supplements that attempt to replicate the effects of steroids than just do the real thing? I guess people just want their cheaters to have to work for it? You have ignored this user.

Sean McCorkle - Do any of you actually believe that 90% of athletes in all professional sports are clean, and 10% that are juicing are the bad apples spoiling the bunch?

The ratio is probably quite the opposite.

I always wonder how athletes come up with these numbers. Not that I doubt you, but I'm curious what influences you to believe that the number is that high? Is it from what you see around your gym? Are fighters approaching other fighters with this stuff at events? What is it?

If 9 out of 10 pro athletes I know admit to me that they take or have taken steroids before, I assume that it's probably the same with everyone else.

If we accept your estimation, it's much easier to assume that you're part of the 90% than the 10%.

I appreciate it when any of the professional fighters on this site share first-hand-personal-experience with the masses.

Without being crucified or doubted a thousand ways from Sunday.

Maybe that's just me?

Tim Silvia, Sherk, Reem, Bigfoot Silva, Sonnen, Barnett, Shields, Marquart, blah, blah, blah. I bet most of you can name more than me.

Not to mention the entire HammerHouse.

Sean McCorkle, thanks for the frank and open statement. I'm really not surprised and don't think your position is without merit.

Would legalizing (some or all) PED's allow pro-athletes to be better monitored by a physician, get cleaner Rx product, and therefore stay healthier?

Lynchman Member Since: 4/6/03 Posts: 313	You may be right, but all but one of those randomly tested in 2012 came back clean. I am not saying that many are not cheating, but 90% seems unlikely when Cain, JDS, Bigfoot, Nelson, Carwin and Mir all tested clean. Random tests can't be planned for. You have ignored this user.

So you know this for a fact when you say "All of your Olympic athletes do too"? Because I can guarantee you that is false. So with this generalization your saying since you are a professional fighter, your on some banned substance as well or your just the only one who is not?

Ok, the guy who ski's and shoot a gun probably doesn't. The vast majority though do.

Actually the guys who shoot were taking beta-blockers to slow their heart rates down... Better accuracy...

Bottom line, everyone who wants to be the best in the world at anything will always look for an advantage if it's possible Phone Post

If done right and I mean under a physician's watchful eye, there are benefits to PED's. You have to take this stuff out of the gym rats hands. I wonder how many of the 90% get their stuff from a doctor and how many get them from some dirtbag who made them in his basement, or got them from suspicious sources.

If the right ones were allowed, the ones that have little to no serious health detriments, taking PED's can be beneficial to these athlete's.
