Fjäderviktsmästaren Jose Aldo hamnade nyligen i blåsväder efter att hans urinprov kastades, då kontrollanten Ben Mosier ej hade giltigt arbetsvisum i Brasilien. Detta var något som fick Aldos kommande utmanare Conor McGregor att gå ut via twitter med ett minst sagt syrligt svar, och nu har Joses tränare Andre Pederneiras pratat om hela händelsen via ”MMAFighting”:
I don’t care what he says. He doesn’t know what happened here. When they came to us, Aldo immediately did the test. It was weird because no one from the Brazilian commission knew about this. At first, he said he was from the Nevada commission, and then I asked for a document and he said he was from a lab, so I decided to call the Brazilian athletic commission. I called them, and they had no idea about the test.
CABMMA’s Cristiano Sampaio came here and realized that there was also an issue about his visa. I don’t think anyone can go to the United States and work illegally there. You would be arrested and deported immediately, and that’s not what happened with him here. Actually, after all this mess, he was notified and given eight days to leave the country.
They needed to get this sample collector, the guy that does doping control in Brazil, a doctor from the athletic commission, and he lives in Brasilia and had to travel to Rio. We asked Mosier to stay one more day and follow the test so we wouldn’t have any problem with it. It would be impossible to do it in a cleaner way.
Everything McGregor says is to get attention from the media. He didn’t even know what was going on here and talked about it. But he said he was tested on May 23, the day of Vitor’s fight with Weidman, but if you look at his Twitter and social media, you won’t see him talking anything about being tested. For a guy that loves to talk about himself, not talking about being tested in an event that important is weird.
Mästaren Aldo hade även han en del att säga om händelse:
This guy came here, I pissed. I did my job, put the thing in the cup and give it to him. It was a big mess, and at the same time I had to train. I came here at 10 a.m. and he was already waiting for me. I came back the next day and thank god it finally happened. I pissed again. This guy saw me naked more than my wife. Man, two days in a row. But everything went fine.
I’m an athlete and they want to prove anything, so I went there and did everything right, everything I had to do. If they come here again, they know where to find me. They have my address, gym’s address, they know where I am. I gave them all my information, my phone number. They can come here if they want.
Jose kommer att ta sig an McGregor den 11 juli vid ”MGM Grand Garden Arena” i Las Vegas, då de möts under UFC 189.
