As for the Alves issue I think that sux aswell, I loved the fight he was last in pummling Desouza. Its to bad the fight will become a no-contest bout. Can he go and fight outside of the US?

Steriods are a more controlled substance, but it does longer term damage, so the fighter will be screwed after his career. Taking a heavy diuretic could affect his actual fight recovery, possibly leading to a fighter dying in the ring (like when the Pro bodybuilder Benazziza died on stage). From the UFC perspective, overuse of diuretics before a fight are probably more dangerous to the franchise than intermittent steriod use. It’s a 2 fight ban, I don’t think that’s too much.

It isnt like he cheated to win, he cheated to make weight. Thats a huge difference. Fine and suspend, yes, but eight freaking months?!?! Punishment does not fit the crime. Totally agree Tommy.
