Sound off your thoughts on what's been going on with The Reem. Personally, as much as I like Alistair, if the UFC does let him fight Dos Santos its going to him them in the PR department.

I think he will find a loop hole. Its easy to get passed tests I hope it happens.

Tell me this guy isn't on something. That's unbelievable.The fact that he had the drug test delayed in November 2011 should have sent the alarm bells off.Surely he can't be licensed so soon after failing.

On the Joe Rogan experience Joe talked about a UFC guy who went to China to undergo some experimental therapy to gain muscle. Said person gained 40 lbs of muscle in a month I believe. I and many on the net believe it was Overeem. It will be very interesting to see what happens to a guy who gains that kind of mass. Consider that if you gain or lose 10 lbs in a year your health insurance carrier gets concerned. Now imagine what havoc was wreaked on this guys system.

If he gets in, and wins that fight, the UFC is in big trouble.

Regardless of whatever loophole and whatever hack doctors his Beverly Hills attorneys try and use to get him licensed, the damage has been done. Nobody will buy the excuse he needed TRT if he uses that as a defense, and anything else Team TestosteReem comes up with will just be seen as squirming and twisted around to try and find a loophole.
The guy has been under heavy scrutiny for the past 4+ years and the fact that the two times since his growth spurt where he's been under the microscope of a legit commission has resulted in an absolute circus is very telling.
The Meltzer Grantland piece of fabulous and hits on the major issues a lot of people are having with this. It will be entertaining to see how he attempts to explain the sudden need for TRT just 3 months after testing in normal levels and not needing it.

Tell me this guy isn't on something. To quote another article I read last week: "No way dude, P90X just really, really works!"

His official statement:
“To my friends and fans,
I am deeply saddened to announce that on Friday, April 20, I respectfully withdrew from the May 26 event so that I can request a continuance until my situation with the Nevada State Athletic Commission is resolved.
I cannot express how sorry I am to the Commission, Junior Dos Santos, the fans, the owners and employees of the UFC, my friends and family and anyone else who this has affected.
I absolutely do not believe in, nor do I use performance-enhancing drugs. I am a clean fighter and I will do whatever it takes to prove this to everyone.
Prior to the UFC 146 press conference in March, I aggravated an old rib injury on my left side. My doctor prescribed, and I accepted, an anti-inflammatory medication that was mixed with testosterone. I was completely unaware that testosterone was one of the ingredients in the medication. Although I was unaware, I do realize it is my job to know what I am putting into my body.
I respect the Nevada Commissioners and Executive Director Keith Kizer and what they are doing to keep the sport of mixed martial arts regulated and safe for athletes. I look forward to working with them in the days and weeks ahead.
Friends and fans, I ask for your patience as I work through this matter. Please support me. I promise to return to the Octagon soon.”

Might be a BS excuse, but also might be true. I'm not a doctor(and those who jump on him are not, like Meltzer etc) and will not judge. If he gets cleared - he's clean for me=)
