Kind of odd though that anyone, even some of the pieces of shit that work in sports media, would even view UFC as morally or ethically superior to WWE. Yeah, it's a real sport compared to what WWE does. But it's also full of borderline psychotic characters (and all of the rest of MMA is too) that come across like if they weren't into competitive fighting they'd be in prison. And they've had their own high profile PED issues too, like with Stephan Bonner and Cyborg Santos. They're not an innocent and honourable sport, which is obvious without even having to investigate them in detail, so I'm puzzled as to what the colour of the sky must be in the world of someone who sees MMA as some kind of respectable or laudable business. Probably the same kind of person who turns a blind eye to the huge number of felonious hijinks committed by football players on a yearly basis because they're so enraptured by the gods of the gridiron I suppose.

Making Roman beg for forgiveness from the locker room must set a new (low) standard for cognitive dissonance from WWE though. He merely got caught so saying an apology to a room full of people where at least several of them probably had the same garbage in their piss but were lucky enough not to get screened at the same time Reigns was is something beyond surreal. I'll have to assume that it was part of the "no more bullshit" zero-tolerance mandate from Vince that began with the Titus suspension. It's not worth wasting any time debating it's validity because it's nauseatingly hypocritical enough to be obvious to even the worst sk8rboi WWE apologist. Roman must be wondering WTF though because past misdemeanours like Orton destroying hotel rooms, shitfaced Ric getting JR fired, or Austin smashing Debra's face into the kitchen countertop never resulted in them having to apologize in person to the whole damn company.

ETA: wasn't even PED's apparently but pot and amphetamines in him

You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know, that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but I'm not high. You know what I mean?

The irony of that link leading to a page that says "this account has been suspended"...

Unrelated, but Hunt calling Lesnar a PED user just SCREAMS covering your bases and preparing your excuses for when you lose...

Isn't pot just a fine under the wellness policy, not a suspension?

The other stuff could have come from anything from a supplement to meth... I suspect we'll find out soon enough.

I am embarrassed by association. That website must have shut down right after I posted the link because they were operating fine just prior to that.

Different link here with basically the same information:
