List of Known Cheaters

Add to my list below of guys that have been busted for using or testing positive for banned substances. For the sake of not getting into debates about the benefits of marijuana, let's limit the list to steroids (including testosterone) and banned diuretics....

I'll start with:

Josh Barnett
Stephan Bonnar
Nate Marquardt
Thiago Alves

 

Thiago Silva
Bigfoot Silva
Cyborg
Tim Sylvia

 

Off the top of my head.

Sean Sherk
Royce Gracie
Cyborg (the woman..maybe)
Chris Leban
Chael Sonnen
Thiago Silva

 

Vitor Belfort
Hermes Franca
Ken Shamrock

 

King mo.

 

Yes.. Great one. The biggest cheater of all time perhaps. Anyone that tries to pass off someone else's urine as their own to avoid getting popped belongs at the top of the heap.

Good list. Keep them coming as you think of them. I am going to consolidate them all onto one running Fightbeat cheaters list.

 

Rampage
Sonnen
Overeem.

 

Ok people that got caught

Sylvia
Kimo
Marquardt
Nastula
Cope
Morton
Royce Gracie
Baroni
Franca
EDWIN DEWEES
Caught: 8/21/08, following his TKO loss against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at Affliction: Banned.
Tested positive for: A massive amount of Nandrolone. The CSAC’s Bill Douglas said that the amount of the steroid in Dewees’ system — 499ng/ml, if you want to get technical — was “hard to explain.”
Punishment: $2,500 fine and a one-year suspension from the CSAC.
Irvin
Cyborg

 

Overeem has never TESTED positive or been busted. And I guess Rampage belongs on the list since he admitted to TRT.

 

Yes, Baroni.... How could I forget about that POS.

 

Yeah i misread your post. I just read the title, sorry sir.

 

THIAGO SILVA
Caught: 3/29/11, following his unanimous decision win over Brandon Vera at UFC 125.
Tested positive for: Nothing, actually. Silva was temporarily suspended when the urine he provided for his UFC 125 drug test was deemed “inconsistent with human urine,â€￾ suggesting that he “submitted an adulterated and/or substituted specimen for testing for the urinalysis.â€￾ In a hearing with the Nevada State Athletic Commission on April 7th, Silva admitted that he submitted a synthetic urine sample to mask the fact that he had received injections of an unspecified steroid 45 and 30 days out from the Vera bout to help him recover from a back injury.
Punishment: $33,750 fine and a one-year suspension from the NSAC.
In his own words: “I just want to apologize for what I did. I did what I did because my back was very, very bad a couple months (before the fight). I had not fought for one year. I was completely broke. I have a family. People depend on my money. I was desperate to do something.I know what I did is wrong. Like I said, I’m so sorry. I had my reasons. People depend on my money, and I had to give them support.â€￾

 

Who else tried to use non human urine? Randleman maybe?

 

Just googled it, it was Kevin Randleman. He turned in his dogs piss for a test.

 

LOL. Now thats funny. What a moron.

 

Agree with SS, that is funny. No need to worry, I'll just have my poodle piss in a cup....

:clapagain:

 

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall and watched him try to collect it.

 

couture and henderson both admitted to doing TRT, correct? but those guys are/were really old.

 

Henderson definitely, Couture I don't think has ever admitted it. Rampage is doing it now too. Sean McCorkle also has said he does it.

 

Todd Duffee is on TRT too

 

coleman looked like he went on a roid rage after breaking shogun's arm/shoulder in pride.

 

Trp, so do you have a current list?

 

Mark Kerr is another one. I think he admitted it in the documentary, didn't he?

Anyway, I like this thread and I think it would be very cool to keep track of this with cites documenting the allegation, even if it is just speculation.

 

I agree, serious Trp, you should come up with something like your prediction thread, but just with guys who have popped and maybe a section for speculated but never popped, like say Don Frye

 

I am putting it together.

I thought it would be cool to keep a running list. I like the idea of a "suspected" list.

 

Yeah it would be cool to see how many of the "suspected" move to the "busted" list.

 

Not too shocking that the Strikeforce: Barnett-Cormier card produced a failed drug test.

What is a little shocking is that it wasn't Barnett. Rather it was Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante, who submitted Mike Kyle, that got popped.

Another cheater or maybe he swapped samples with Barnett for $$$

 

Overeem can officially be added also.

 

I can get behind this. But there has to be some kind of legitimacy to it. Like you have fought in the US in major orgs in those 5 years. If you bail to Japan like Barnett, then obviously we know why you haven't popped in 5 years.
