I've not heard of org's fining fighters, but that doesn't necessarily answer the question. Certainly an org. could have a provision in its contract providing that it could withhold money until the fighter passes a drug test. Don't know whether any of the orgs do that, though. Venom:

Do the individual promotions fine their fighters any additional moneys for these failed drug tests? It seems to me like alot of promotions just turn the other cheek when one of their fighters fails a drug test. Just curious! Hey Mike,

Maybe horse steroids are the answer. Maybe it’s just me, but every time I see a picture of this guy I ask myself, “Why the long face?” Maybe horse steroids are the answer.

I mean, the guy needs something to help him carry around that gigantic, tombstone sized head of his. To be fair, I think he might actually have a presciption for that.

That should be an awful lot of power given the horse steroids he's been taking! Good to know he’ll go to the full extent of his power to TRY to prove his innocence.

I dont agree and never have agreed with the use of this kind of product in order to win, for this is cheating.

I know a bit about the 'dirty side' of the game, not just in MMA, but in all sports. Nandrolone and Boldenone are both substances that can take as much as 18 months to clear your system depending on bodyfat level, etc.... More so, Boldenone is not a prescription item. It is a vet steroid, so Silva cannot even claim it was given to him by an MD. At least DeWees could make that claim. Whomever is handling these fighters are idiots and don't know the basics about performance enhancement. DeWees will likely be dirty even after his suspension ends. It is absolutely stupid to use these drugs and compete hoping not to be tested... I am a strength and conditioning coach.
