Anderson Silvas coach tror kosttillskott är orsaken till positivt dopingtest

Silva på preskoferens rolig min

Anderson Silva plockades bort från UFC Shanghai i november, där han skulle ha gått huvudmatchen mot Kelvin Gastelum. Orsaken var att Silva testat positivt när USADA testade honom utom tävlan. Nu hävdar hans team att ett förorenat kosttillskott är orsaken till att Silva testade positivt. Anderson Silvas fystränare, Rogerio Camoes, medverkade i TV-programmet Revista Combate i tisdags, där han bland annat diskuterade Silvas positiva dopingtest.

We believe in some contamination in some supplement, every product he used, supplements, will be analyzed so we can prove there was a contamination. It’s a slow process, it’s not overnight, and it requires time and money. It’s very expensive.

Rogerio Camoes förstår att många ger honom skulden för det inträffade, men han försäkrar att han aldrig skulle försätta den forne mästaren i en sådan situation.

Many people point at me as the responsible for this. People who know me for a long time and know my work know that I’d be the last person to do this, especially because I know from A to Z about anabolic steroids. I was a bodybuilder. The first antidoping test I did was in 1987 at the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center, when I was competing internationally in judo. I was tested for 10 years, and I know from A to Z, so I would be the last person to give someone something that would make them fail a doping test. Only if I was crazy or dumb. I would be the last person to stimulate Anderson to do something like that. It’s the opposite, I’m the one worried about it.

Camoes erkänner att han själv går på TRT men rekommenderar inte andra att göra det.

My goal is to be in shape at 60 years old and I have to do it, it’s my responsibility, but would never encourage someone to do it.

I dagsläget är det oklart vad som kommer att ske med Silvas framtida karriär, men Camoes är övertygad att ikonen kommer tillbaka även om han skulle få en längre avstängning.

I believe he will (come back), Camoes said. In life, when someone is taken away from you, that’s when you want it the most. The thing he wants the most is fighting. I believe he will come back to fighting. Before all that happened, I remember saying to (boxing coach Luiz Carlos) Dorea, this guy will fight for more three or four years. This guy will fight until he’s 45, 46 years old.’ He was like a young kid, so happy. Everything will be cleared. There will be a penalty, or course, we know the USADA rules, and even with a contamination, it’s the athlete’s responsibility what he takes and you have to be careful with that. We’re waiting for something to know which path we will go after all this.
