    He shoulda eaten his spinach...

    Russian 'Popeye' bodybuilder forced to tap out after three minutes of MMA fight
    By Danny Ryan 15:10 21/10/19



    Kirill Tereshin, a name not exactly synonymous with fighting fans across the world.

    So allow us to explain the background of the 23-year-old more commonly known by his nickname, 'Popeye'.

    The Russian bodybuilder has injected synthol oil into his biceps to help make his now 24-inch diameter arms look unhealthily large.

    Doctors have told him he runs the risk of losing his arms in the future, but that hasn't stopped him partaking in MMA fights.

    Sadly for the man with probably the biggest arms in the world, fighting just isn't his game.

    Tereshin fought blogger Oleg Mongol at a gym in Abakan in Russian and he was forced to tap out within three minutes.

    You can watch footage of the fight below.

    Those big oil-filled arms are more of a hindrance than anything else.

    Tereshin is on the hunt to find a specialist to try and fix his arms, saying back in August: "I used to go to the gym for two years before being called up for military service. In the army, I was worried that I would have a hard time and lose weight so I decided to try synthol oil.

    "When I finished military service, I began to transform myself and did everything at home. My mum was very worried about what I was doing, but we are okay now that she knows synthol can be removed.

    "In the beginning, I wanted to inject synthol oil into other parts of my body, but then the problems started and I stopped using it."




    He is aware of the catastrophic state of his limbs, adding: "At the moment, my arms are in a bad state and are reddening.

    "I have launched a fundraiser to see a doctor in Europe for treatment that costs around 3 million RUB (£37,760).

    "I would love to go the UK for it, but the most important thing is that the treatment is successful."
    Apologies to Jimbo for posting this on his Iron Arms thread. Synthol doesn't equal Iron. Also posted on our MMA & Drugs thread even though Synthol isn't quite a drug. We don't have an MMA & enhancement oil thread yet.

    policy revision

    NOVEMBER 25, 2019 / 2:21 PM / UPDATED 18 HOURS AGO
    Mixed Martial Arts-UFC revises drugs policy over contaminated supplements
    Amy Tennery
    2 MIN READ

    (Reuters) - The UFC and U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced changes to the mixed martial arts organization’s drugs policy on Monday to address concerns over cases involving contaminated supplements.

    The changes aim to differentiate between “intentional cheaters” and athletes who “innocently test positive”.

    The revisions will affect athletes who ingest banned substances from sources like contaminated meat, medication and nutritional products and define ‘certified supplements’.

    The new policy outlines concentration levels for substances that are regular contaminants and do not improve performance through the introduction of a “UFC prohibited list”.

    Athletes who test positive for those substances below a specific threshold and who have not exhibited other signs of doping will not be sanctioned under the new rules.

    “For several years, we have pushed for change to ensure that athletes can trust the food, medications, and supplements they use without fear of being treated like intentional, hard core cheaters,” USADA CEO Travis Tygart said in a statement.

    “We expect these changes to go a long way in allowing this to happen and to show athletes who compete clean that their decisions will be supported and validated.”

    Jeff Novitzky, the UFC’s vice president of athlete health and performance, cited the “pervasiveness of low level contaminates” as well as “increased levels of testing sensitivity” as factors in changing the guidelines.

    “(There’s) an explicit need for decision concentration levels to ensure the program is penalizing intentional cheaters and not those athletes who have been faithfully adhering to the anti-doping policy,” Novitzky said in a statement.

    USADA first developed an independent anti-doping program for the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2015 after criticizing UFC for administering its own athlete testing without involving the national anti-doping group or the World Anti-Doping Agency.

    Bruno Silva

    Bruno Silva suspended two years by USADA after failed drug test
    By Guilherme Cruz@guicruzzz Jan 9, 2020, 10:00am EST

    Brazilian middleweight Bruno Silva received a two-year suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) after testing positive for the steroid boldenone prior to a scheduled bout with Deron Winn at UFC Greenville in June 2019, his manager told MMA Fighting.

    Bernardo Serale, Silva’s rep, said they believe in Silva’s innocence and will do everything in their power to prove it. He declined to go into further detail about the fighter’s defense strategy.

    USADA hasn’t made any formal announcement regarding Silva’s case, and a request for comment was acknowledged but not responded to. According to the anti-doping agency’s official website, Silva has been tested 10 times since signing with the UFC.

    If the two-year ban stands, the Brazilian will be close to turning 32 by the time he’s cleared to fight again in 2021.

    Silva, nicknamed “Blindado,” was set to make his Octagon debut against undefeated wrestler Winn in South Carolina. The bout came seven months after he won the M-1 Global middleweight championship in Russia. He was removed from the card after a failed drug test.

    When MMA Fighting first reported Silva’s failed drug test, the UFC fighter released a statement guaranteeing he was innocent.

    “I know, without a doubt, that I did everything according to the standards established by USADA,” Silva wrote on June 21, 2019. “I have faith in USADA that this situation will be resolved in a timely manner and that I will be cleared of any wrongdoing. For all my fans and supporters, thank you. I assure you that I did not disappoint you.”
    boldenone is a great name for a steroid.
