I’m actually relieved. Could you imagine the shitstorm if the whole positive test thing was the result of a contaminated sample?

I’d be funnier if the needle was going into his neck.

Someone should have requested it while he was posing for this very real photograph.

its

Drostanolone, an anabolic steroid that lets you cut weight without losing muscle mass. Has a very short cycle time of 3 weeks so had there not been a random piss test, Josh would’ve tested clean come fight time.

Im still curious, Why? He’s a heavyweight?

He’s allegedly very self-conscious about his flabbiness.

One of these days I'll learn to type coherently.

he had to come in under 265 against Fedor

and maybe he was trying to massively bulk up.

So he actually walks over 265, huh?

No

I don’t think so.

Have to Admit

His initial reaction to the positive test is what one would expect from a guilty person. Investigators say all the time the guilty party tends relax and rest when finally caught because they can relieve themselves of the charade. An innocent person tends to be frantic and upset. Josh’s reaction, happy to be going to yoga class.

Also, many think they have a prepared plan in case they’re caught, so they remain calm, whereas an innocent person is frantic because they don’t know what to do. Or this is a bunch of pop-psychobable. I’m not completely sure.

Usually this psychobable only applies when the guilty party has been hiding out for some time. He probably knew he was busted the second he was asked to test and spent a month waiting to be revealed.
