One day after being accused by the NSAC of submitting an intentionally altered urine sample prior to UFC 125, Thiago Silva has come clean…so to speak. In a statement posted to the Underground Forum by the American Top Team, Silva admitted to using a “urine adulterant” in an attempt to conceal his use of banned substances in the weeks leading up to the fight.
In other words, now that he’s been officially caught, he’s willing to own up to his mistake.
Such was not the case as recently as a few weeks ago, when he responded to news that his urine sample was still processing by declaring, “My blood is clean. I haven’t used anything.”
That wasn’t true, of course, and he knew it wasn’t true. It just hadn’t been proven untrue yet.
