Kamaru Usman (20-2) medverkade på Joe Rogan Experience. Där tog han upp anklagelserna om doping han varit subjekt för.
Kamaru Usman: People accuse me all the time, and I never really told my story.
Kamaru Usman har på senare tid blivit anklagad för doping, detta trots att han aldrig testat positivt. Han pratade om det när han gästade The Joe Rogan Experience.
Of course, people accuse me all the time, and I never really told my story. So one day I kept seeing people tagging me in this video. It’s some fucking guy, some dumbass that is on YouTube that swears he can spot people on PEDs.
Videon i fråga lägger fram ”bevis” på att Usman dopat sig. Kanalen heter MorePlatesMoreDates och drivs av en man som själv erkänt till att ha använt steroider. I videon fokuserar han på de ärr Usman har på magen.
Usman klargjorde dock ärrens ursprung under sin konversation med Rogan.
So they point to marks on my stomach. I have five scars on my stomach. You know, like burn discolouration on my stomach. So they took that and came up with this whole theory about it. It kind of hurt my feelings.
Okay, so here’s the story. I was a little self-conscious about it, I was in college, and this was my junior year. I started getting these moles, on my stomach and on my hand. I’m one of those clean freaks like I always shower right after practice. So I start scratching it, and it starts bleeding, so I’m like damn, this is irregular.
So I wrestled, and later that evening, I get in the shower. I’m showering and all of a sudden, just burning. So I look down, and I’ve like scraped them off. I was told to just leave them and they would fall off on their own, but my dumb ass wrestled
Fick permanenta ärr på kroppen
Skadan lämnade permanenta ärr som förklarar anklagelserna om doping. Detta var första gången Usman öppnade upp om märkena och osäkerheten kring dom. För att läka snabbare använde han neosporinsalva på såren, något som ska ha orsakat ärrvävnadens varaktighet.
So then its guy is like ‘Oh, He’s doing PEDs’. Look, he’s got marks on his stomach, and he hurt my feelings. I’m like one of those guys, I don’t even think about PEDs because of my work. I probably have dealt with someone who is cheating or fought someone who is cheating, but my work exceeds all of that. So when I see idiots online, I’m like, have you been to Africa? There are a lot of Francis Ngannou‘s walking around.
Detta är inte första gången Usman blivit anklagad. Rivalen Colby Covington (17-3) har även han delat med sig av sina teorier. Detta sa han under en intervju med BT Sport.
My immediate reaction is that he is ahead of the curve. He has a brother for a doctor, and they’re able to mask the drugs in his system. Everybody knows Barry Bonds was doing steroids his whole career, but he never got caught because he was ahead of the curve. It is the same thing for Marty.
