Ik eist helemaal niet dat ze dit soort testen regelmatig deden(onaangekondigde testen). Hoe lang zijn ze dit al aan het doen? En is dit bij iedereen, of toevallig gewoon bij Overeem.
Ze zijn er vanaf juni dit jaar weer mee begonnen. De grootste kritiek was ook dat er in andere staten wel strengere en meer out of competition tests worden gehouden. De invloed van Zuffa in Las Vegas op de State Commission is wat dat betreft nogal omstreden (moet je eens raden wie er al die tijd in de State commission of Nevada heeft gezeten)
Kizer said the U.K. test is being conducted in London at a facility affiliated with Quest Diagnostics, whom the NSAC often uses for drug tests conducted in Nevada. The results will go Wednesday to Quest's laboratory in Atlanta.
"We've had it before, most famously with (Manny) Pacquiao, and a lot of that just depends on the country," Kizer said. "There are different rules in different places. In fact, as Overeem mentioned and we were able to verify, in Holland, if not most of Europe, you can't just go to a Quest lab or something similar to that. You've got to go to your doctor and do it that way. Even in some states (in the U.S.) it's different, and it's not always easy for an athlete to walk in off the street and say, 'Hey, I want you to test my urine.'
"So it's always going to be a case-by-case basis. The U.K. is a lot more streamlined, and that's why the commission had him go to the U.K. Sometimes we have contacts, or Quest [has] contacts with a foreign jurisdiction. But it does make it more difficult, obviously."
wat een gezeik zeg. en om wat? kijk, dat het bij Rasmussen gebeurde, snap ik. die was vertrokken... dit is BS
Overeem wants more drug testing in MMA

Alistair Overeem, who is preparing to fight Brock Lesnar at UF C 141 on Dec. 30, on Monday offered sworn testmony to the Nevada State Athletic Commission in regards to mishaps during a unexpected steroid test ordered by the NSAC.
Overeem, who added 50 pounds of muscle over the past five years, is widely suspected of using PEDs. He has however never tested positiive. Further, he flatly denies steroid use. In fact, he wants to see more testing in the sport.
“I’ll be tested four times in three weeks this month, so after this, there cannot be any more doubts,” Overeem said. “The thing is, I’ve fought in the States before and every time I got tested, I’ve never tested positive. So I don’t where all [the speculation about steroid use] is coming from. I’m too focused on my career, and I don’t really pay attention to these messages.”
He fought once in Nevada before, at PRIDE 33 in Las Vegas on Feb. 24, 2007, and had no problems with testing, though he was a light heavyweight at the time.
“I cannot judge other fighters, though of course sometimes you have your suspicions,” Overeem said. “Do I think testing should be [done] more [frequently]? Yes, I do think it should be done more, but I think it should be applied to all athletes and not just a randomly select few.”
Asked then if that meant he’d support random pre-fight PED testing for all fighters on a card, Overeem said, “That would be the fair thing to do, right? Otherwise, you would have select testing, and that is unfair.”

Overeem flatly denies steroid use

UFC heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem, who meets Brock Lesnar on Dec. 30 in the main event of UFC 141 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas in a battle of massive heavyweights, said flatly Tuesday that he is not a steroid user.
Overeem, who added 50 pounds of muscle to his frame in the past four or five years, said he would support random pre-fight testing for all fighters on a card in order to eliminate all performance enhancing drugs from mixed martial arts.
Overeem was speaking from London about 24 hours after being granted a conditional license by the Nevada Athletic Commission in order to meet Lesnar. Overeem failed to fully comply with the commission’s request to supply a urine sample for testing prior to leaving the U.S. to return to the Netherlands to be with his ailing mother.

At Monday’s hearing, the commission pointed the finger at Overeem’s assistant, Collin Lam, for the failure to complete the required testing and seemed to absolve Overeem himself of blame.
Overeem was ordered Monday to provide a urine sample with 72 hours and then to submit to testing twice in the next six months. Overeem left his training camp Tuesday for a one-hour flight to London to fulfill the first part of the requirement. The UFC had arranged to fly a British doctor who had the qualifications to satisfy the Nevada commission to meet Overeem in the Netherlands so that it wouldn’t further interrupt his training, but the doctor’s passport had expired and she was unable to travel. Thus, Overeem flew to London on Tuesday “because I want to meet all requirements I have to meet and handle my business the way I need to handle it.”
He plans to submit the sample on Wednesday and then return to Holland to finish training camp. He said he has no problem being tested, but that he hopes the current spate of testing will end the speculation about steroid usage that has followed him since his huge increase in size and muscle mass.
“I’ll be tested four times in three weeks this month, so after this, there cannot be any more doubts,” Overeem said. “The thing is, I’ve fought in the States before and every time I got tested, I’ve never tested positive. So I don’t where all [the speculation about steroid use] is coming from. I’m too focused on my career, and I don’t really pay attention to these messages.”
Overeem, who said he had done “everything within my power to get the testing done,” said he doesn’t pay attention to the accusations because he said he knows the truth.
He fought once in Nevada before, at PRIDE 33 in Las Vegas on Feb. 24, 2007, and had no problems with testing, though he was a light heavyweight at the time.
But he said he’s confident that he’ll have no issue passing the steroid test. He declined to say if there is a steroid problem in the sport, but hinted that there may be.
“I cannot judge other fighters, though of course sometimes you have your suspicions,” Overeem said. “Do I think testing should be [done] more [frequently]? Yes, I do think it should be done more, but I think it should be applied to all athletes and not just a randomly select few.”
Asked then if that meant he’d support random pre-fight PED testing for all fighters on a card, Overeem said, “That would be the fair thing to do, right? Otherwise, you would have select testing, and that is unfair.”
Overeem said having to break camp was a minor issue, but he didn’t think it would seriously harm his preparations.
“It’s not all that bad,” he said. “It’s a bit of a distraction, but fighting at this level, things hardly ever go perfectly for an entire camp. I’m not bothered by it and I can deal with it. I’ve been through many camps, and I’m used to dealing with different kinds of distractions.”

Hij wil wel graag onderstrepen dat hij niets te verbergen heeft.
Is dat misschien Collina?At Monday’s hearing, the commission pointed the finger at Overeem’s assistant, Collin Lam, for the failure to complete the required testing and seemed to absolve Overeem himself of blame.

Hahaha je moest eens weten. Maar wat wil je nu zeggen eigenlijk? Je bevestigd alleen maar mijn stelling. Ik zeg...als hij een onverwachte test moet ondergaan en deze afspraak mist. Dit 6 dgn later alsnog doet, hij clean bevonden wordt dan was hij dat 6 dgn daarvoor ook. test, bold, deca, winny om maar wat middellen te noemen zijn allemaal niet in die 6 dgn uit het bloed hoor. Enne....EPO is zoooo 1988.
Jawel..Jij weleens gehoord wat betekent als je axis plat ligt? En fsh/lh waardes? Niet alleen te hoge waardes duiden op steroide gebruik. Maargoed had gewoon even wat gepost, zoals je kunt zien doe ik dat niet zo vaak. Helaas moet ik die ene posting verantwoorden. Heb ik een beetje gedaan nu. Geen zin om hier dieper op de materie steroiden in te gaan. Maar heb een kleine 20 jaar ervaring met AAS en pretendeer er wel wat van te weten.
Goh? Noem eens een stof die na 6 dgn niet meer traceerbaar is in het bloed en die voor een vechtsporter interessant is? En wat bedoel je met voor iemand met veel geld? Zo duur is dat spul niet hoor. Of doel je op hgh? mwah een kleine 225,-euri voor iets waar je weken mee doet, is niet veel geld toch?
Dus Overeem zijn moeder heeft kanker, nu issues met de Nevada comission, split van Golden Glory + rechtszaak, ... kan je voorbereiding nog meer belabberd zijn? Is in ieder geval een slechte zaak voor de vechter.
denken jullie nou echt dat brock van bruin brood en pindakaas zo groot is geworden ? daar hoor je niemand over . nee hoor lekker een nederlandse topper afzeiken is veel leuker toch ??
ik begrijp jullie allemaal niet , ben benieuwd hoeveel van die zeikers hosanna zingen als ali gewonnen heeft .. gr hans
