I mean, IV drips can be used to hide PED use as well.I dont think its quite the same. TJ was juicing it very very hard to keep that under wraps.
They might though.
I think if there was even a chance it was a PED thing then they wouldnt try to bury it, thats too much even for (modern) UFC.I mean, IV drips can be used to hide PED use as well.
Be very interesting to see how this investigation goes.
If this is just a throw it out there claim by Hooker I’ll be very disappointed. Feed him to Islam again for that, fairs fair.
I get that, i just dont think islam is the sort to hide by fighting bums.It's not about hiding, it's about Islam still having yet to face Poirier, Chandler, Gaethje, Fiziez and even someone like Conor if he wins. That division is disgustingly stacked and any of them could get a title shot and be justified
There's no bums in that divisionI get that, i just dont think islam is the sort to hide by fighting bums.
The AFL banned them 24 hours before game day 20 years ago. It's not a new thingWhy are IV drips banned they seem to be pretty safe options and can only improve the fights without going down the path of juicing etc.
Apparently Volk and the team know the nurse that administered the IV, supposedly said on the Ariel Helwani hour.
He never said that I watched the interview.Apparently Volk and the team know the nurse that administered the IV, supposedly said on the Ariel Helwani hour.
Stops fighters cutting to much weight too quickly. Was brought in in 2016 after a few guys had liver failure and at least 1 died.Why are IV drips banned they seem to be pretty safe options and can only improve the fights without going down the path of juicing etc.
Yeah it's very much throw away, I don't think Ariel realized what he was saying or he would have drilled down on it. Still sounds like it's more than just a Hooker rumourYeah listening now - read it on Sherdog.
Yeah Volk touched on it twice but understandably doesn’t want to sound like a sore loser.Yeah it's very much throw away, I don't think Ariel realized what he was saying or he would have drilled down on it. Still sounds like it's more than just a Hooker rumour

Wonder if Volk would even want him busted tho, volk seems like the type of guy who wouldn't want the decision overturned but rather create enough controversy to cause a rematchYeah Volk touched on it twice but understandably doesn’t want to sound like a sore loser.
Be interesting if it is a nurse they know and get a stat dec or something along those lines signed.
Volk went with it aswell.Yep I agree, Hooker deserves a rematch, early stoppage in the last one haha
That's one problem with this revelation, Hooker seems like he has an axe to grind against Islam, gonna be interesting to see how it ends up.
Volk went with it aswell.
Mentioned it twice very briefly on the MMA hour with Helwani. No using an IV isn't pushing the envelope it's a suspendable offence with USADA. If it's true he's ****ed.Really? I just checked his Twitter and nothing. I mean it could be a dangerous area for him, I'm sure there are things he's doing which are "pushing the envelope" like all of them.

It's not exactly worth it for that, he sorta throws it out quick and moves on quick. Doesn't at all suggest anything should be done of it.Oh yes of course, I'm just wondering if big Al's closet is clean with respect to PEDs. Might have to give it a listen this week then, I'm a semi regular listener of the MMA Hour.

Wait ya reckon volks on something?
Nate Diaz hit it on the head, they are all on something.
