Excuse my ignorance here, how would USADA know if he took an IV? I assume there is a test that indicates this?

USADA doesn't test for plastic, BJ disclosed it on his testing form.
GayGuardMooseSaucy - BJ PENN @bjpenndotcomLol
•I love the new PED and IV ban in the UFC. I never took an IV in my life after a weigh-in. IVs are for wimps! #BeerAndHotDogs
•It's the biggest joke ever. If you aren't sticking needles in your arm to fight the guy gets a 15 pound advantage. #FightLikeAMan
•#TwoBelts #HallOfFame #NoIV #NoPED #(: #gottabearecord
i woulda thought theyd only test for iv bag residue in the blood after the fight, ss he did
what a pisser. hope bout is rescheduled soon

Trace amounts, yes
To be fair penn said hes never taken an iv AFTER weigh in, not that hes never taken one.
blaznbison24 - USADA doesn't test for plastic, BJ disclosed it on his testing form.Well, damn. I said it then, and I say it now. USADA is not good for the longterm of the UFC.
We all knew 90% of the fighters were on something to begin with.
why mad on USADA? BJ declared it himself.
Morpheus1976 -I'm not mad at USADA. I'm mad the UFC hired them.why mad on USADA? BJ declared it himself.
BJ declared it during a test 2 months ago and we hear about it now?
Seems legit? Ticket refunds anyone?
I was really looking forward to this fight. Cole is my boy, but this is nonsense. Who cares that he got an IV at anytime before weigh-ins? Check for doping, of course, but BJ could have been sick or something.
I can only hope that we'll see this fight in the future.

forget it. this is a violation, crisp and clear
they don't test for plastic in the blood.

believe me, i am one of the few, who knows he is talking about!
chilz -I was on USADA's OOC list for a while in a different sport and while I was given tons of information on everything under the sun, nothing was ever said about plasticizers.blaznbison24 - USADA doesn't test for plastic, BJ disclosed it on his testing form.Well, damn.

What if you got an IV under the legal amount? Wouldn't that leak plastic into the blood, even though the IV is legal?
Has there been a single athlete test positive for a plasticizer under USADA?
USADA is still good for the sport but this sucks.
Never_rolled -Morpheus1976 -They came to ATT and said they were testing for plastics in the blood. They further explained how the bags leave particles.That is the first I ever heard about so it sticks out in my mind.Never_rolled -Morpheus1976 -You don't know what you are talking about.they don't test for plastic in the blood.

Do you actually think I am making this up? Maybe you should email and or call them and report back here tomorrow that you were wrong.
the test was never validated, find me a suspension for this? its just fear mongering
