If anyone has a legitimate right to be pissed that Gilbert Melendez tested positive for testosterone, it’s Eddie Alvarez (pictured). However, Alvarez isn’t irked Melendez tried to cheat for their UFC 188 scrap.
In fact, he understands why not only Melendez, but other MMA fighters look to cut corners.
“Just say No,” Alvarez tweeted Monday after word broke Melendez tested positive for exogenous origin of testosterone metabolites. “I never judge anyone fro doing anything. not taking PED’s has been a personal Descision for Me . Everyone does shit differently .I been blessed, I never felt the need to take anything , but we are in a tough sport highly competitive , I understand why guys do stuff.
