Lombard: Jag var sjuk och fick piller av en bekant

Hector Lombard testade positivt för steroiden desoxymethyltestosteron efter segern mot Josh Burkman under UFC 182 och har sedan dess hållit låg profil. Han släppte ett meddelande där han berättade om sitt straff från NSAC, med avstängning på ett år och böter på 106 000 dollar, men gick aldrig in på några detaljer om resultatet.

Nu har han i en intervju med MMAJunkie pratat ut om händelsen och hävdar att han inte helt och hållet kan skyllas för det, eftersom han var sjuk innan matchen och fick då piller av en ”vän till en vän” som han trodde att han kunde lita på.

Det här berättar Lombard, via ”MMAJunkie”:

It was quite difficult, but I always believe everything happens for a reason. I don’t want to beat around the bush. A lot of people think that I was injecting with some ’roids and stuff like that. They don’t even know the true story. What really happened was, I trusted a person that I shouldn’t trust. She was an Olympic competitor, and I’m paying for that. She told me, ’Take these pills.’ I felt sick before the Olympics, and I know your sick, take the pills and you are going to feel better, trust me.’ So I went ahead and I took the pill. Actually, the pill screwed me up. I send you all the text messages with me and her. You see it. I know a lot of people aren’t going to believe me anyways. But, I have the proof and I’ll show you. I was pretty upset with the whole situation, but, I am okay now. She gave me the pill and my mistake was that I didn’t ask anyone. I took it, and I thought it was natural. I wasn’t expecting that a pill I would have such a strong effect.

Lombard berättar också att han tog dessa piller efter invägningarna för att hjälpa honom att bli av med influensa dagarna inför matchen:

I was sick, man, you saw me after the fight I couldn’t talk., I can barley talk, I had the flu, cutting weight, I couldn’t talk. I talked to you a couple of days after Vegas because the first few days I couldn’t talk. In the interviews I did, you can see I was really, really sick. I always believed it was meant to happen, because if I would’ve felt good, I wouldn’t be experimenting with something new or experimenting with things I don’t take. In the back of my mind, I was like, ’I need to feel better, I need to feel better.’ During training, I was about to pass out a few times. And now I am paying for experimenting with something new.

She’s a friend of a friend named Julie. I can’t even pronounce her last name. I met her through a friend of mine. She came across very knowledgeable about the whole Olympic trials, knowledgeable about all the drug testing and all of that. I trust her.

Lombard har inte tagit åt sig hatet som uppstått i samband med att han testade positivt, eftersom han är van vid anklagelser. Han hävdar dock att han aldrig medvetet har tagit något prestationshöjande.
