Ultimately it's about agreeing to the rules and then following them (or not). Top performer are always looking for an advantage which absolutely includes grey areas in the way rules are interpreted. Better to be very clear and very strict, I think.
If the rules state that steroids are illegal than comparing them to having a sport nutritionist is a false equivalence. This is about a Martial Art. I thought being a martial artist means holding yourself to a higher standard than the average person. Honor, respect for others and the law, living a clean life. Most important respect for rules and the art itself. Rickson wouldn't take drugs because he had more respect for his father's art and representing his families art. If you cheat at steroids you are showing a lack of character that would lead one to believe that you might cheat at other aspects of your life. Just my opinion. Royce hurt his legacy when he failed his drug test.
everybody stealing does not mean it's not stealing. on the other hand it's understandable most will do it if it's allowed. gordon is indeed the best bjj competitor. now coaching jon jones.
