[Mastenbroek]

Het zijn nog rumors, maar het zou mij eerlijk gezegd niet zo verbazen als het wel zo was

About a certain someone who I fought recently failing his drug test. I hope it's not true.

Misschien heeft zijn vrouw recent over wat losliggende steroïden heengelopen?



Ik denk zelfs als dit waar blijkt te zijn dat er een hele goede verklaring voor is.

Die test gaat in de Braziliaanse doofpot as we speak.

Niks aan de hand. TATAME-Magazine heeft de Braziliaanse Athletic Commission gesproken zegt dat er niks van klopt.

UFC: Vitor Belfort didn't fail UFC on FX 7 drug test

Despite a flood of rumors to the contrary, UFC on FX 7 main-event winner Vitor Belfort did not fail a drug test this past month at UFC on FX 7, UFC President Dana White said.

Speculation about a possible failed test surfaced late this past week, and Belfort 22-10 MMA, 11-6 UFC), who knocked out fellow middleweight contender Michael Bisping (23-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) in the Jan. 19 fight, quickly was attached to the rumors.

White confirmed there was an "irregular" result from the testing, and officials will announce the details on Monday. But he insisted it wasn't Belfort.

"It f---ing was not Vitor Belfort," White said. "Yet right now, I bet if you talk to a hundred people, a hundred people will tell you that Vitor Belfort failed his drug test in Brazil. That's bulls---, that's crazy, that some rumor from a f---ing clown with a fake name on Twitter can do that. It's crazy."

The speculation grew so quickly on Twitter that event Bisping was left wondering.

"Hope these rumours aren't true about a certain someone who I fought recently failing his drug test," he tweeted. "I hope it's not true."

White said he heard directly from Bisping, who would have earned a title shot with a victory over Belfort, soon afterward.

"Some f---ing goof on Twitter puts out a tweet, and everybody starts f--ing throwing these accusations around," he said. "I've got Michael Bisping f---ing blow me up at 1 in the morning from England going, 'Did that motherf---er fail the drug test?' It's f---ing crazy, man.

"We will release the thing when it comes out, and we will say what happened with who failed."

White said UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner will release the official details.

UFC on FX 7, which took place in Sao Paulo, marked the regulatory debut of the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA), which is part of the upstart International Mixed Martial Arts Federation. (Ratner, whom the Brazilian commission shadowed during the UFC's three prior events in the country, chairs the IMMAF's technical committee.)

Belfort, who's recently dodged questions about his potential use of testosterone-replacement therapy, addressed reporters prior to Saturday's UFC 156 event in Brazil and dismissed the rumors of the failed drug test.

"I think people get jealous when a guy at my age is destroying these people getting title shots," he said. " ... I think when you look good, the tendency of people to judge you and criticize you is bigger because it sells [newspapers]. See, we're talking about this, but I had a great performance, and we're spending more time talking about the controversy than my performance."

UFC reveals Vitor Belfort used testosterone replacement therapy for UFC on FX 7

UFC officials today answered the question Vitor Belfort refused to address: Yes, "The Phenom" did use testosterone replacement therapy in advance of his UFC on FX 7 win over Michael Bisping.

UFC officials today revealed Belfort was granted a therapeutic-use exemption for testosterone replacement therapy prior to the bout and that his post-fight drug screen "did not indicate the presence of any prohibited substance for increasing performance improvement."

Belfort and Bisping headlined the Jan. 19 event, which took place at Sao Paulo's Ibirapuera Gymnasium. The Brazilian scored a second-round TKO over the Brit and then proceeded to call for a rematch with current light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

All 22 fighters who competed on the card were tested for performance-enhancing drugs and drugs of abuse, and the UFC this past week confirmed one test result in an "irregular" finding, which led to speculation that Belfort – who in 2006 was suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after testing positive for the anabolic steroid 4-Hydroxytestosterone – was the culprit.

However, as UFC President Dana White promised following this past weekend's UFC 156 event, that was not the case. Instead, the failed result belonged to lightweight Thaigo Tavares, who was suspended for nine months.

"To dispel rumors that have been circulated, Zuffa wishes to clarify that Vitor Belfort’s drug test results were negative and did not indicate the presence of any performance enhancing drugs," a statement from Zuffa read.

Still, Belfort's use of testosterone is sure to raise a few eyebrows. However, UFC officials said the fighter has been diagnosed with hypogonadism, the same condition that allowed Chael Sonnen to receive prior exemptions, and that Belfort's levels have been properly monitored by a Nevada physician.
