Jose Aldo ser inga större problem med dopning

Dopning är ett problem som existerar i nästintill alla sporter, och bara i år har MMA-världen drabbats av en hel del dopningsskandaler. Mest omtalat är Anderson Silvas positiva testresultat, då han testade positivt för bland annat steroider.

En som dock inte bryr sig särskilt mycket om dopning är fjäderviktsmästaren Jose Aldo, som hade följande att säga via ”Globo’s Combate”:

From the sports side, we tend to look at them favorably. I see no problem. If you have problems, you need a supplement and use it because a doctor prescribed it, then that is fine. Nobody stays young forever. But I think it’s wrong when you try to gain an advantage over someone who is clean. However, if you investigate all sports, very few are 100% healthy, training and only eating rice and beans.

If you look at the Olympics, a lot of guys have said that they were doping and there was no grand campaign against PEDs until after they retired. For me, I see no problem with that. On one hand the sport suffers, but on the other I don’t see any issue.

I never suspected any of my former opponents, I just think of me and my training and doing the best with that. If an athlete uses something or not, I don’t see any problem. I’m not going to crucify the guy if he is or isn’t doped. That changes nothing to me. The same punch that hits a clean face hits a doped one.

Aldo hade även en del att säga om UFC:s ranking, och att den kommande matchen mot Conor McGregor enbart handlar om pengar:

I’m getting a taste for trash talking. We have to be provocative to sell fights, talk more, to know we’ll be more profitable. It’s important. The financial side is great for me, for the UFC, and for him. But, if you talk about rankings, I think he’s undeserving. But, the rankings serve no fucking purpose, nobody fucking respects it, so this fight is good for me because of the money.

Jose kommer att ta sig an McGregor den 11 juli, då de möts vid UFC 189 i Las Vegas.
