Full statement: http://sh.st/KYBRY

"“USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case. It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full fair legal review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. The Nevada State Athletic Commission also retains jurisdiction over this matter as the sample collection was performed at UFC 200 in Las Vegas."

What do you think happens next? Temporary suspension like Jon Jones? Will he ever fight in the UFC again?

Brock's drug test wasn't dealt with by WWE's crooked doctor so I don't think WWE will do anything about it. But I see Dana not saying much about it as Lesnar has made them a lot of money, and I'm sure he wants to keep that relationship with WWE/Vince intact.

WWE is a show. Steroids will help them shaping their bodies to the action figure looks. If we are to expect to ban them entirely for a show, next step is making it illegal altogether, because Hollywood action actors use it for the same reason: good looks and more energy for enterteinment, not competition. And we love it.

Steroids and testosterone repository therapies are meant to bring wellness to people too, as long as the need is identified and administrated following strict doctors recomendations and supervision.

However, I have a feeling many athletes just take things to get them illegal advantages in a competition and most don't have a medical specialist taking care of them, but rather use things they see working for other fighters.

That is a dangerous thing to do. Because without a professional guidance, it becomes easy to use the wrong product or taking too much of it aiming for better results. Just like turbocharged car owners keep overboosting their engines more and more past their limits until they break, trying to catch my naturally aspirated V8. :p

Sorry I've been a little zoned out as of late but yeah considering WWE isn't implementing the wellness policy against Brock it's pretty much a joke. USADA is better at testing then WWE and yet WWE isn't using it as a positive test. Then again as Brian Zane pointed out SummerSlam is in New York and believe it or not New York still regulates pro wrestling.
