Wanderlei Silva har under den senaste tiden inte haft något bra att säga om UFC, där han fortfarande har kontrakt, ett kontrakt som Silva vill bli av med. Senast hade Wanderlei en hel del åsikter om dagens dopningskontroller, och här kan ni läsa vad han hade att säga via ”MMAFighting”:
I heard some things that the commission did to fighters… it looks like they showed up at the champion’s house at 6:50 a.m. to test him. What the f–k is that? Is this a joke? I also heard they forced a famous fighter to undress in front of everybody in order to be tested. What is that? We are being violated. They are taking out our rights as citizens. The test has to be done on the day of the competition. You have to be at the same level of your opponent on fight day. That’s against the constitution. You can’t have this law.
If I’m going to fight you today, I have to be clean today. There are anti-inflammatories and painkillers that are considered doping, but are not. I’m against steroids. Steroids are bad. But the fighter has a right to do anything he wants out of competition. That’s his right. You can’t get into his life and take his blood to see what he’s doing. I’m against all types of drugs and steroids, but the athlete has the right to have a private life. He has to be clean on the day of the competition. Out of competition, that’s his life.
Wanderlei har inte stått inne i oktagonen sedan han slog ut Brian Stann vid ”UFC on Fuel TV 8” 2013, men han var tänkt att möta Chael Sonnen under UFC 175 innan han sprang från en dopningskontroll som slutligen resulterade i att Silva lade handskarna på hyllan.
