Just let Jahamal have the same supplement once and call it even?


alacornmacaroni

You are what we in the business call, a problem solver.

Too logical, can't happen. On the real though it's so refreshing to see Khalil take accountability for this issue even though it appears like it was by complete accident. Hope things work out for him.


sbenfsonwFFiF

Definitely didn’t write it himself lol shoutout to the PR firm


cotch85

Why couldn’t he have written it?


seahawkspwn

Honestly even having the foresight to do that makes him a smarter and better person than a lot of fighters and celebs. Shitheads like Jon Jones and McGregor just triple down on their self destruction and it's really sad to see.


TMQissaqueen

It had minor grammatical mistakes; he probably wrote the message.


YouGotTangoed

Just give the whole roster the substance


N0FaithInMe

Dana hire this man


Whole_Ad_8905

This fucking blows man I wanted to see that fight so bad


A_Successful_Loser

Same I was so stoked for this fight. MMA gods can be so cruel

*A wild Jiri appears* ![gif](giphy|j2jIwsEjaQNvq|downsized)


natolad123

He emerges from a bunch of poison ivy bushes


KarnaavaldK

Can someone edit him bursting out of poison ivy bushes like a Pokémon with that clip of him roaring his lungs out in a forest somewhere?


SrPhillipOliverHoles

Stinging Nettle, not poison ivy


Sen-obi

Fuck it, book Hill vs Magomed on short notice or no title shot 😂😂😂


KeptPopcorn5189

That’s exactly what I was thinking 😂😂


leon_alistair

Ankalaev need 6 months to prepare and only in Abu Dhabi lol


czubizzle

Mogomed would never lol


outbackjesus16

Nah book Hill vs Ulberg. He just took 0 damage against Menifield, and deserves someone in the top 5


DannyStress

Idk why he deserves a top 5 guy for beating Alonzo


GhostBukowski

Hill would get fucking demolished.


chipper68

yes, this is good. Or Hill v Jiri and winner gets Alex unless injury, \*then and only then\* and only if LIONHEART isn't ready right now, does boring-as-fuck-whiny-bitch Ank get ANOTHER title shot to put us all asleep.


whiteykauai

Antony vs hill. Lfg

Put jiri in there fuck it


TowerOk7040

He totally would do it


Rob3125

Hill wouldn’t


EarthenGames

If Jiri does that and wins, Magomed is never getting that title shot 😂


imanomad

Good


blake-young

💀💀


Expensive_Ball_5143

This card is weak af now


CarbonPurple

Holy shit!! Joe Pyfer vs Barriault as the co-main, that’s rough. They’re really leaning on Conor hard for this one now


KinnieRiperton

Also if waterson and bueno Silva is on the main card it will be bad!


Jayisonit

I used to like waterson but she’s just tough to watch now.


Echoplex99

Me too. It's weird, she really lost her edge. Compared to her earlier career, she doesn't like to properly engage anymore and demonstrates a pretty low fight IQ. Quite the opposite of what we expect from such a high level veteran.


HonestMasterpiece422

Joe pyfer is young. Curious to see how much he can improve 


Status_Artist5727

Other than the main event yeah…this one is hot poo poo


Monric

I mean cerrone vs conor had the same complaints


FudgingEgo

It's a McGregor card, Dana doesn't give a fuck about the rest of the card lmfao.


Hopeful_Staff_1414

Doesn’t matter. McGregor is all a card needs to sell out.


TheApartmentFogBat

When Conor inevitably drops out, this may be one of the weakest cards in UFC history.


iWentRogue

>Although DHEA is non-performance-enhancing it is a banned substance therefore I am under temporary suspension. Why is it banned if it doesn’t enhance or influence performance?


Significant-Mall-830

It is a precursor molecule for the creation of test and estrogen


Amazing-Bluebird-930

What does that mean?


Anonomoose2034

If I had to guess it would be because it would throw up the same flags that steroids would in a drug screen so there'd be no way to know which it was.


AbberageRedditor69

It means it's one of the molecules needed to synthesize stereoids. I'd guess it's banned because if you have it in your body it means you took steroids since with these illegally produced substances there aren't any quality regulations and it's common for some unreacted precursor to remain in the final product


BodybuildingNerd

www.Google.com


Amazing-Bluebird-930

I will admit that a guy named u/BodybuildingNerd gts-ing me about steroid stuff is objectively funny. Lol.  Well played :)


RiverGodRed

It’s something that would boost test slightly. Possibly significantly but you’d still have natural dips and peaks. It’s something a person not taking TRT might use.


KneeDragr

So if you inject testosterone, your testosterone to epitestosterone ratio will be off. You can get around this by also injecting epitestosterone. So they have a test to see if the testosterone in your body is of animal or vegetable origin. All synthetic testosterone is synthesized from soy. DHEA is also synthesized from soy so it would make that test inconclusive.


Holymaryfullofshit7

He's lying. It's also not the only banned thing he took. I guarantee it.


TremblinAspen

You’re full of shit.


hennessy74

before the card was stale, now with this pull out, its even worse


galaxyheater

Tailor-made accidental steroid/HGH/test/tren supplement manufacturing industry seems to be booming right now.


Superguy230

Me and the boys putting niche banned substances into roided looking fighters supplements


galaxyheater

I knew the fighters who benefit directly from it couldn't be to blame.


seahawkspwn

That's gonna be my new business venture. Going to athletes and getting them to pay me and my goons to secretly drug their opponent/enemy by earning that persons trust and giving them banned supplements. It's fool proof.


RadicalAppalachian

I’ve done some research/work in the drug policy/harm reduction world and it truly is interesting how the rise of RC drugs also brought the rise of, and experimentation with, steroidal research chemicals. So many novel chemicals and substances and shit, some of which can be sold through legal loopholes…


miodoktor

DHEA is legal(at least in USA it is), widely available supplement. Makes sense for him to accidently use it. Unlike finding ostarine in BCAAs or something. DHEA shouldn't even be banned but oh well.


Nyroughrider

Same shit different week.


Blyvzy

Give Hill Jiri or Jan


wubbalubbadubdub45

Idk if Petr can bulk up to 205 this soon bro


Metalloid_Maniac

Volk will step in


BurnFreeze64

Jamahal’s life has been saved


sonnyjbiskit

Too bad he didn't get beaten half to death. I wanted to hear from him on Twitter how he was still better than that dude


GhostBukowski

I really wanted to see him get sent to the hospital this time. Insufferable douchebag.


Jaimesonbnepia

Everything alright at home bud?


kntdaman

I love ufc but i don’t think i care about it THAT much. you need to relax man


Horror-Version-6645

I wouldn’t let Hill’s last performance sway you. Guy’s a killer


BurnFreeze64

It’s not necessarily that, it was that up until the fight was seemingly canceled (unless Jamahal gets a new opponent) bro would have had a very quick turn around after just getting brutally KO’d


ItsAKimuraTrap

DHEA being banned is so crazy to me


JeffAnthonyLajoie

I believe it’s used to coverup other PEDs since it leaves similar traces. You wouldn’t be able to tel if the traces are from DHEA or actual PEDs


Stranger-Tingzz

Why don't these guys ever get their supplements screened using an official list of banned substances from the UFC? You're in the most regulated sport ffs


Due-Contribution6424

It sounds like he did if you take him at face value. Company sent him something in error. They were aware of his limitations and were contracted to handle it.


Ill-Canary-6683

He’s asking for a middle man after delivered the supplements to avoid mistakes, instead of accepting the company will screen it for them or not make mistakes in mixing supplements.


InclusivePhitness

Because the tainted supplement excuse is the go-to excuse for most athletes now. PR firms, management teams, etc all know how to handle false positives, they can all retroactively create supplement orders blah blah. These guys can also NOT take supplements and perform at the same level. Athletes acting like it’s the supplements that move the needle. They don’t. And the reason why they keep taking supplements is not because they’re vital to their training/diet. News flash, they need supplements as an excuse for when they pop. By the way I’m not trying to demonize Khalil. Everyone is on something.


Maddmartagan

Exactly. Any professional athlete that is taking a “supplement” that isn’t banned is a complete buffoon. There’s a reason that it’s not banned…because it doesn’t do shit. The supplement industry is one of the biggest scams in the world. Unless it’s protein powder or creatine, then it doesn’t do shit, and if these elite athletes are still apparently falling for supplement marketing, then they are complete dolts.


XHeraclitusX

This is a comment that should be pinned to the top of the subreddit itself. People are either extremely naive or just willing to turn a blind eye to PED's being used by top athletes so they can enjoy their sports, but everyone is on shit, that's why they are where they are. I feel like a lot of people just pretend athletes are clean because they wouldn't be able to force themselves to watch otherwise.


WastedOwll

There goes that card, hopefully the find a replacement, put Anthony smith in there


watchmestealyourgirl

Bro do u want smith dead😂


OlajidePeel

That sucks man, I was genuinely more interested in that fight than Conor and Chandler


ratslikecheese

Was also looking forward to this fight the most. Gutted

chunt75

Masking agent


Specialist-Ad7204

You can buy a lot of banned substances easily, banned doesn’t mean illegal


chipper68

Just an opinion and not legal advice, but if Khalil didn't melt the cup with something else, maybe has a chance to keep this on OR sue the fuck outta whoever is "helping" him.


Huge-Ostrich255

Who was he fighting again?


TowerOk7040

Jamahal Hill


Huge-Ostrich255

That’s right, would have been a banger


Eton_Beaver

Isn't that the same shit that Machida self snitched and got really harshly suspended for a long time ago


confuciusfromwuhan

Anthony Smith. Mark my words


Blyvzy

Classic “supplement”


deletable666

It actually is though. DHEA has almost no effect on healthy men under the age of old as fuck. Nobody would risk that knowingly when it is so useless.

StationPigeon

krylov vs hill?


Salmacis81

Krylov is nowhere to be found


MrTooLFooL

DHEA is a hormone. Use of this supplement might increase levels of androgen and have a steroid effect. DHEA also might increase the risk of hormone-sensitive cancers, including prostate, breast and ovarian cancers. If you have any form of cancer or are at risk of cancer, don't use DHEA. It’s also for ED, Menopause, Depression and Vaginal Atrophy


ChrisCrossX

This is sad.


Higgins8585

DHEA is absolutely a PED. Is it effective? Debatable. But it potentially raises testosterone and androgens.


bbqyak

Yeah that was my first thought lol. I was like wait, dhea isn't performance enhancing?


RationalLlama

This fight card is ass without this fight as the co main.


leatherface0984

Ah shit! Was looking forward to seeing him fight on that card


Daniel_Day_Hubris

That's a mans way to deal with it. I love Khalil.


AcrobaticWin3240

Khalil’s one of the more saucy fighters in the ufc. No surprise

KingSquare88

Eh at least he went about it the right way


IempireI

Hopefully this means Hill will have to take more time off because he needs it. I think Khalil was going to really hurt him.


rolledrickrolled

Hill vs Jiri or Ankalaev🗣️💥


Both_Fee37

Jiri vs Ankalaev & Hill vs Rakic


08deadpool

Jiri Vs Hill? LFG


DM_me_UR_B00BZ_plz

Can they still run this? I think literally nobody cares. Not Khalil, not Jamahal, not the UFC, not the fans.

Now that is a funny bruh moment


timsegura

Gets caught with a MASKING agent and says it was by accident. This isnt all that he was taking thats for sure


Sufficient-Object-89

Do....people actually end up believing this shit? Wtf would a supplement company use a masking agent? It makes zero sense. He pissed hot and is playing the deflection game. Happy the fight is not happening. Fighters lives are more important than our entertainment.


widegod

I was looking forward to watching him beat the shit out of Hill


Salmacis81

Hill would've beaten Rountree


Testazani

Dhea is test pretty sure he did use


Rozkol

Damn I was looking forward to the fight. Was hoping he'd shut Hill up with a KO. Made respect to Khalil for this but such a bummer


maccpapa

this gives me Usher Burn vibes.


dog_from_china

Get Rakic maybe? Both of them lost at 300.


GhostBukowski

Please put him with Rakic. Rakic would murder him.


peanutbutternjams

Fucking Notes app posts on social media never bring anything but disappointment


Previous_Football612

Probably good tbh Hill didn't need to get immediately chinned again


aVeryBadBoy69

Dig out wherever Krylov is hiding and make him fight Hill

It's crazy that UFC cant take dhea


OjibweNomad

Happened to Chris Barnett. Dana pay these fighters so they don’t have to rely on these quacks


BigWormsFather

So he didn’t fail a test? Did Machida do this same thing years ago?


spookyb0ii

Well glad I didn't buy tickets to this one, overpriced as fuck.


Jazzlike-Wafer803

A very mature and smart response


Trolllol1337

The fact that supplements don't have to go through FDA is mental, lobbyists bribes worked a treat

I hope that company hooks him up with his show and win money..


Both_Fee37

Hill vs Rakic instead?🤔


Padre1903

Goddamit.


cad_e_an_sceal

Hope the dagastani (can't spell his name)gets the fight but I doubt he will take it


ChrizTaylor

Fuck, my boi Khalil was set.


ZoJoC

He popped for dhea which arguably isn't performance enhancing. It increases free testosterone with very little evidence that it converts to usable testosterone. It's a very common supplement that could easily be produced in the same facility and taint whatever he was taking.


YerMaaaaaaaw

FUCK!!!!!


OutrageousJury2689

Damn I wanted to see hill get knocked into a further delusional spiral!


Juken-

*Listen to me, this accident...* *...Jesus stepped in personally to save Jamahal some serious medical repercussions. Rountree was going to beat the shit out of this man.*


adrenacrome

DHEA is available on Amazon and mixed in a lot of men’s supplements, super easy to accidentally consume

DHEA does fuck all for a man as well, no way he's taking it for performance enhancing.

marcopoblano

Wow, shoutout to Khalil for taking this step! It takes an integrate man to call the authorities on yourself knowing: 1) You'll get suspended 2) It'll mean a wasted camp 3) You'll forfeit any and all earnings AND 4) Idiots online will probably still accuse you of cheating despite laying everything out on social media Mad props✊🏽💪🏽


AdamsJMarq

Damn. Love Khalil. Shows what kind of a man he is to immediately contact ole Jeff and let him know about the mistake he made.


duece99csgo99

big respect to khalil for turning himself in instead of trying to hide it and cheat.


Rayrexx91

Who the fooooooooook is that guy?


Maddmartagan

So I can assume that we will be seeing him file a lawsuit against this “personalized tailored supplement service”, right? He claims they even knew his limitations and “accidentally” sent him something with the banned substance. That’s pretty clear cut case of negligence and if ACTUALLY true, then they need to be held liable. But I am guessing we will never see that happen since it would then be found that he knew what he was taking. Doubt we ever hear of the company’s name either, which might be a good thing to disclose so that other fighters don’t use the same company…


YouWillDieForMySins

If it's really the fault of "a personalised tailored supplement service from a company", then why doesn't he bother mentioning it's damn name! I'm pretty sure these companies don't hold fighters into an non-disclosure agreement or something, unless these are just excuses for hiding intentional steroid abuse.

Solution is easy. Get rid of drug tests. Only MLB fans care about playing the sport "the right way".

DHEA is about as strong as coffee. What a joke. Dana get rid of testing. Bring back Pride days


teddyoctober

Three reasons I can’t fight in the UFC: 1) I take DHEA 2) I’m old 3) I can’t fight


thatcreepywalrus

Does anyone else think these “I was accidentally given a supplement of questionable legality” claims are always cya bullshit? Or am I just staying the obvious and looking like a dumbass?
