Some of MMA’s biggest stars took to Twitter to react to Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz failing drug tests. Silva failed his pre-fight drug test for two performance-enhancing drugs, while Diaz failed his post-fight test for marijuana metabolites.
Sad that Anderson silva tested positive for steroids. Although in hindsight, I’m not surprised. I’m too naive. #any1notcheatingbesidesme

We’re Silva’s test results known by the commission and UFC before the fight? If so, why was he allowed to compete?
— TJ Grant (@TJ_Grant) February 4, 2015
What’s the point of doing pre fight testing (as in 1/9) if you don’t get the results back until after the fight? Rush that shit to the lab

FUCKING SERIOUSLY is everyone on the fucking sauce?

I can’t wait until we can just focus on MMA without all the extra drug test failures, etc

Why the fuck did Anderson get to fight? It’s a seriously dangerous sport that could cause serious trauma #DontBeScaredHomie

Someone once told me “If you’re in the top 10 in UFC you’re on something!” Looks more and more true with every major fight. Sad to hear.

All fighters should follow the rules if they wanna be a pro-fighter but #PED‘s = way worse than prescribed or recreational marijuana use.
