Detailing the situation on UFC Tonight, Ariel Helwani stated that Weidman has been randomly tested four times, but Belfort’s situation is quite a bit murkier:

“May 23 rapidly approaching, Chris Weidman told me that he has been randomly tested by the Nevada Athletic Commission four times leading up to this fight with Vitor Belfort. Two times urine, two times blood. I asked Nevada, ‘How many times have you randomly tested Vitor Belfort?’

“The deferred me to the UFC, who then deferred me back to Nevada. I asked Vitor; he wouldn’t respond. So I know that Chris has been tested four times; I don’t know how many times Vitor has been. I find that interesting because Nevada said they would test him a heck of a lot leading up to this fight, and right now we don’t have that answer. I thought it would be important to pass that along.”
I guess they really are serious about testing for PED's.

Now we learn that it’s confirmed that Weidman has been tested multiple times, while it’s unknown whether or not known PED user Belfort has been. That’s an unfortunate situation for the UFC, who are supposedly trying to clean up their rampant steroid problem that currently plagues the sport of MMA.
I think this a bit unfair because I believe Vitor has been tested like 6-7 times as well, although no one would go on record in this article and confirm.

I read about this, but it's strange because there have been reports Vitor was tested at least 7 times and that was months ago

Was that info not true or something? Because it was pretty widely reported.

Recent video pics have him looked shredded just like his TRT days. No clue how he is doing it.

He has to be doing something. Trust me...from someone that used in their 20's and had their Test levels crash in their late 30's (just like Vitor)....I can't explain enough how badly having Low T makes one feel. It is just brutal. No energy, no motivation...sleep 8-10 hours, and be exhausted 4 hours after you wake up. There's no way he could train like he needs to without it. From my experience anyway.

A good pump and lighting?

Vitor's been ripped since 16.
It's not like he's gonna train at the highest level and deflate because he stopped trt.

Vitor has always been shredded though. Since he was a teenager. He has lost size, but just because he is without test, I don't think he's gonna look like shit if he's working as hard as he is. it's been a long while since the test thing, he's had like 18 months to get his body back up to standards. He won't be as strong, fast, or big.. but with the amount of work he is putting in every day, I don't expect him to look like shit either.

This is a FRAT but you guys need to read it. Not just about Vitor.. but Mayweather and others.

Vitor: I am genuinely curious about it.. if he is on something.. he has to be on the most cutting edge, newest shit out there. There's a lot of shit that even the best WADA tests can't nab you for unless they get it within just a few hours of dosing.

Victor Conte could probably provide some insight. He was the guy who founded BALCO (the company that supplied all the baseball players, and other people like Bob Sapp lol) with their crazy, cutting edge/top of the line PEDs.

Conte is active on Twitter all the time. I'm gonna try to get his email and see if he'd ever do a Q&A. He's now anti PEDs in sport and apparently on a crusade to change what he created. If anyone could answer these kinda questions, I bet he could

Lately, he has been seriously blasting two boxers for working with famed PED guru Alex Ariza.. A very VERY controversial figure, who has admitted to and is known for doping not just himself but the athletes he trains. He just signed up to work with a certain #1 P4P boxer for the first time ever, for a fight you might have heard of last night?

Yeah, that same guy. Ariza. He worked with Floyd for the Pacquiao fight. Interesting huh? Floyd looked to be in better shape, physically, than ever in his career.

I don't know man... When you got a guy with that kind of reputation.. why would you even bring him into your camp, no matter how good he is?

The thing is, Mayweather was blood tested a TON leading up to this fight and all others... but with someone like Ariza, who works at the absolute highest level, and even Victor Conte says is able to get around the tests.. you just don't know.




Floyd has always been in great shape. But I thought he looked really, really shredded last night.

At such a high level of the game.. with not just millions, but HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS at stake in a fight like this? You can't say either way.

The thing is. There are plenty of strength and nutrition gurus out there, who do not have so much controversy attached to themselves that they actually changed their name (like Ariza)

And even more interesting? When Ariza was working with Pacquiao himself a few years ago.. Floyd was quick to point the finger at him and claim he was the man supplying and coming up with the PED regimen he felt Manny was on.

Quotes from Floyd himself on Ariza, just last year... Remember. This is the man Floyd hired in his training camp for this fight... yet he said this about him just 1 year ago.

Maybe I should create a new thread with this, because I feel like it's info people should know. Don't wanna hijack this one.

Floyd Mayweather skeptical of Alex Ariza's influence on Marcos Maidana - Bad Left Hook

"Mayweather (45-0, 26 KO) faces Marcos Maidana (35-3, 31 KO) on May 3 on Showtime pay-per-view, but Mayweather sounds a little skeptical of his opponent, noting his association with Alex Ariza, the former strength and conditioning coach for both Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan, among other fighters.

"I don't have anything against anyone, but I noticed that when the guy, Alex Ariza, was in Amir Khan's corner and when he faced Maidana, Amir Khan looked super strong in that fight," Mayweather said on a media conference call yesterday. "Then you go back and look at it, I go look at Maidana's fights against certain guys, like when he fought Alexander, he was strong, he was still coming ahead because he's the kind of guy that comes straight ahead, and liked the looped shots. He wasn't as strong as he was in the Adrien Broner fight. In the Adrien Broner fight he was a lot stronger than he was in a lot of his past fights."

Floyd continued, "I don't know if Alex Ariza plays a major role into that, but when I sit back and I look, I'm looking at Pacquiao versus Bradley and I notice ever since Ariza has not been with Pacquiao anymore there's been a total change in his power."
