I watched the latest post fight press conference and a fighter there was asked how he felt about his earlier loss to Ali Bagautinov now that he'd been popped for steroids.
It just felt wrong that he should have a loss on his record if the other guy was cheating.
So what do you think? Should a caught PED user lose his victories for a time period back for example a year?
No, I don't think you can do that based on assumptions, if they get popped after a fight they won, that fight should be changed to win or NC for the other guy, but just that fight.
IF it's something like EPO, testosterone, something that you clearly didn't buy over the counter accidentily, or your trainer fucked you with all these silly excuses.
I agree with op. I know the poster above me said it's not fair to make assumptions because they might have been clean, but it's not fair to use PEDs, so I don't have any sympathy for that fighter. A year seems reasonable
RyannVonDoom - Lol then all of mma history should be wiped.
all the way from its beginnings there has been rampant use of certain PEDs
THere are some obvious examples of guys that take whatever they can get away with, those fighters definately have asterisks next to some of their wins, and their careers

Massa - Test hot, even out of competition, and the Olympics takes all medals.
Not exactly, they don't take your medals, for going positive after you won the Olympics. WADA code is all results, starting from the date of the infraction, until the end of the suspension are removed.
If the date of the positive test i after you won an Olympic medal, that medal is yours to keep.
Should I be able to go to a doctor or pharmacist and say 'I can't take anything banned by the ioc' and expect them to know what I mean off the top of their heads?
