Twitter conversation as follows:
Jon Anik - Timing of this has really gotta piss a lot of people off. Supposedly Jones was tested in June. Process is thorough, sure. But 72 hours out?
Eric P - It's cause Jeff Novitzky wants to be in the spotlight. Just ask @lancearmstrong
Lance Armstrong - 100% correct
I was also wondering why they would announce this 3 days before the fight?
Wrong thread
They test for a huge list of substances both piss and blood and people are offended it took two and half weeks to be done.
What, do people really want a window at the end of the OOC training camp period where they don't test at all, really?
Didn't hear them complain when Andersons results took a month.
lol at Eric P
Ed Okin -I agree with the fuck Lance Armstrong sentiment completely. And clearly he has the world's largest axe to grind re: Novitsky. Still thought it was threadworthy given the weird time and given Novitzky's name is now in lights across the global mainstream media on the eve of the biggest event in MMA history
Why would anyone care what the biggest fraud in all of sports has to say? Fuck Lance Armstrong.
Novitzky is only getting exposure because people want to blame him for Jones' transgression.

And thanks for you opinion, Lance. lol

biggest POS in sports, ever
I blame the cheating cunts like Jones and Armstrong for giving Jeff Whateverthefuckshisname a reason to actually be in the spotlight. If they were clean, he has no podium.
Fuck them waaaay ahead of USADA.
Admiral Iraqbar - Novitzky is only getting exposure because people want to blame him for Jones' transgression.He made the announcement. It was "announced by Jeff Novitzky." That's the only publicity he's getting. That's near the top of every mainstream story about it
Over a dozen replies in and I have to be the one to remind folks that Novitzky doesn't work for USADA, he works for the UFC.

I think everyone is aware of that?
The Power Double - I think everyone is aware of that?
Apparently Eric P is not.
epwar -I think there's a fair chance Eric P knows that too. Novitzky works directly with USADA in his role with the UFCThe Power Double - I think everyone is aware of that?
Apparently Eric P is not.
Also fuck Lance Armstrong
Yeah, because Armstrong isn't butthurt at all...he's as much of a piece of filth as Jones.
Fuck Lance Armstrong. Greg Lemond is the greatest cyclist ever
Lance Armstrong can shut his hoar mouth
