Sunkist, are you seriously trying to argue that this is attainable without PEDS?

Please find below Joe Rogan talking about Gabi Garcia taking Male hormones. In my opinion this is disrespectul and reckless to make allegations without the proof. With respect has  Bryan Callen taken a liking to Cris? he mentions her several times on the podcast episode



 





 



According to the UFC, the "smell test" of an athlete's appearance is one of the tools USADA uses. So Rogan is well within his rights to comment on Gabi's looks. Phone Post 3.0

Judonoob

You are correct regarding USADA using the smell test and that is probably the reason why there are some fighters  who have been tested more than others however, in my opinion that is still a reckless allegation to state as a fact with no evidence

You are welcome to your opinion. Rogan has a popular podcast and let's face it, Gabi does not pass the small test therefore it is fair play to talk about it. Phone Post 3.0

Judonoob

Yes you are correct Joe is entitled to express his own opinion on his popular podcast but with respect,  one would assume that a responsible podcast host who is  well versed and a well known figure in MMA would prefer to be known as an individual who is projecting accurate information as opposed to projecting reckless allegations as facts. An example of Joe projecting inaccurate information, on the same podcast episode, Joe mentioned that Miesha was the 145lb champion in Strikeforce and recently a forum member cited that as a source when attempting to prove a point. I appreciate that Joe mentioned the error in support of the UFC introducing a 145lb division but it was still inaccurate.

Oontyex,

Please find below information on the situation

The United States Anti-Doping Agency announced this Wednesday, March 26, 2014, that the 2013 Worlds female open class and heavyweight silver medalist, Gabrielle Garcia tested positive for the prohibited substance Clomiphene.

The test was done after the 2013 Worlds.

The USADA says that “Clomiphene is a prohibited substance in the category of “Hormone and Metabolic Modulators”  under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing, which has adopted the World Anti-Doping Code (the “Code”) and the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.”

The USADA also found that Gabi Garcia “had not acted negligently and was not at fault for the positive test. Although Garcia was not found to be at fault or to have acted negligently, in accordance with the Code, a violation of the anti-doping rules in connection with an In-Competition test automatically leads to the disqualification of all results obtained in that competition.  While her results from the IBJJF World Jiu-Jitsu Championships shall be disqualified, Garcia did not receive a period of ineligibility and, in accordance with the Code, remains eligible to compete.”

The IBJJF or Gabi Garcia still haven’t commented on the announcement by the USADA.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Athlete, Garcia, Accepts Finding Of No Fault And Loss Of Results

March 26, 2014

USADA announced today that Gabrielle Lemos Garcia of São Paulo, Brazil, an athlete in the sport of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, has tested positive for a prohibited substance, which was determined to have been ingested by her without fault or negligence, and will lose competitive results. 

Garcia, 28, tested positive for Clomiphene as the result of an in-competition urine sample she provided on June 2, 2013 at the International Brazillian Jiu- Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) World Jiu-Jitsu Championships in Long Beach, Calif. USADA was contracted by IBJJF to conduct testing for the event and collected Garcia’s sample in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Agency International Standard for Testing.

Clomiphene is a prohibited substance in the category of “Hormone and Metabolic Modulators”  under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing, which has adopted the World Anti-Doping Code (the “Code”) and the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List. Clomiphene is classified as a Specified Substance, and therefore the presence of Clomiphene in an athlete’s sample can result in a reduced sanction.

After a thorough review of the case, USADA was able to conclude, to a comfortable satisfaction, that Garcia had not acted negligently and was not at fault for the positive test. Although Garcia was not found to be at fault or to have acted negligently, in accordance with the Code, a violation of the anti-doping rules in connection with an In-Competition test automatically leads to the disqualification of all results obtained in that competition.  While her results from the IBJJF World Jiu-Jitsu Championships shall be disqualified, Garcia did not receive a period of ineligibility and, in accordance with the Code, remains eligible to compete.

In an effort to aid athletes, as well as all support team members such as parents and coaches, in understanding the rules applicable to them, USADA provides comprehensive instruction on its website on the testing process and prohibited substances, how to obtain permission to use a necessary medication, and the risks and dangers of taking supplements as well as performance-enhancing and recreational drugs. In addition, the agency manages a drug reference hotline, Drug Reference Online (www.GlobalDRO.com), conducts educational sessions with National Governing Bodies and their athletes, and proactively distributes a multitude of educational materials, such as the Prohibited List, easy-reference wallet cards, periodic newsletters, and protocol and policy reference documentation.
