Now tell me if this ain’t the pot calling the kettle black. A 33-year-old heavyweight who tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone just 20 months ago is now thinking aloud whether reigning UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez hasn’t been taking performance-enhancing drugs his whole career.
Veteran Ben Rothwell (pictured), who is three days removed from a submission victory over Matt Mitrione, appeared as a guest on “The MMA Hour” Monday and hinted that Velasquez will perform far differently when the UFC’s enhanced drug testing policy kicks in next month.
“Let’s see what happens after July 1, when the advance testing starts kicking in,” Rothwell said.
