UFC bantamweight Marlon Vera believes that cheating is still rife in MMA and that there are ways to get around USADA’s drug testing.
While he would “rather die than cheat”, Vera believes some fighters have access to to drugs that allow them to test clean while using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs).
“Chito” suggested that former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw is still using PEDs and that USADA should continue testing him for at least a year after his retirement.
“If he comes back, it will be weird because he tested positive already and he said he’s retiring for good,” Vera said on Believe You Me (h/t Middle Easy).
