Michael Bisping har mött en hel del fighters som på senare tid misslyckats med att leverera negativa resultat vid sina dopningstest, och Bisping är inte den som inte har något att säga om saken. Här kan ni läsa vad Michael hade att säga om Vitor Belfort, Wanderlei Silva och Chael Sonnen via ”MMAJunkie”:
They weren’t clean. We all know they weren’t f–king clean. They’ve only just started doing blood tests. People have been taking (human) growth hormone and EPO and all kinds of s–t for years. A urine sample will only show certain things, and people know when to come off stuff. It’s an IQ test. The blood test they do now will catch more people because they’re testing for more things, but they didn’t do that before.
Vitor is not going to be the same. You can already see it. His physique looks remarkably different already. Of course, since this all kicked off in when he got tested, he’s obviously been clean since then, and that was six, seven months ago and you can see the difference. It’s going to be very interesting when you see Vitor at the weigh-in and you see his physique compared to the last few times he’s fought and the guy looked like he was in a bodybuilding contest.
I don’t want to kick Chael while he’s down. I like Chael, but he’s paying the price and hopefully it sets an example to the younger fighters and they see the error of his ways and learn. If you can’t do this sport without taking steroids, go do something else.
It’s disgusting to me that people do that. I know they’ve done it, Chael did it, he admitted it, Wanderlei, Vitor – in hindsight maybe I should have insisted on blood tests through camp or whatever, but hindsight is a great thing afterwards.
En annan fighter som lämnat positiva prover är lätt tungviktaren Robert Drysdale, och Bisping hade inte mycket gott att säga om honom:
F–king Drysdale, he can kiss my ass. I’ve never met the guy, he could be the nicest guy in the world, but what I see is a guy who failed his f–king test, then was on TRT, then said, ‘Oh, I don’t need TRT.’ He came off it and there you go, that’s my f–king problem with TRT right from the get-go.
You either need TRT or you don’t. You can’t get a doctor to prescribe it and say, ‘Oh, I don’t need it and I’ll come off it.’ You’re a cheat, and now he failed his IQ test. Not only is he a steroid cheat, but he’s f–king stupid.
I’ve never done anything in my entire life. Today I was the first one to the gym. I was f–king kicking pads while people were just chatting away about what they had for dinner last night. Now the next class is halfway through and I’ve only just f–king finished. I do it the hard way and I work my f–king ass off.
We’re trying to knock each other’s f–king heads off. We’re not trying to put a ball in a basket. The situation is horrible.
Den 23 augusti kommer Michael att återigen kliva in i oktagonen, då han tar sig an Cung Le vid ”UFC: Fight Night 48” i Macau.
