This week a report on mmaweekly revealed that nearly two dozen MMA fighters have tested positive for banned substances while participating in events sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission since March of 2006. Among the rather unexciting list of fighters is somebody who grabs immediate attention: Bas Rutten.
Bas Rutten was previously scheduled to fight the chemically mutated Kimo Leopardo at a WFA event on July 22, 2006 – however Kimo’s love for Winstrol ended up getting the best of him and resulted in a suspension two days before the fight. Bas Rutten felt compelled to publicly express his disdain for Leopardo’s suspension:
Every guy who uses steroids to fight is a fucking pussy.
Ruben “Warpath” Villareal stepped up as a last minute substitution to fight Bas and save the show from ruin, and although fought admirably (landing several hard strikes to the head of a seemingly unfazed and unhurt Bas Rutten), he was defeated by Rutten in the first round via leg strikes resulting in a KO.
What is now revealed is that right after his victory Bas Rutten tested positive for two prescription painkillers hydrocodone and morphine, the latter being a drug administered to dying GI’s on the battlefield to ease their pain and is the opiate from which heroin is derived. Both substances are banned by the CSAC.
So now a question for Bas Rutten arrises: Do you think Ruben Villareal could have used some of that morphine to counteract with the agonizing pain of your leg strikes? The very pain that was the sole reason for Villareal’s inability to continue the fight?
Judge for yourself:
Addendum: According to CSAC Executive Officer Armando Garcia, “no steroid policy has ever been in place in California.” Which leads to questioning why, out of an exhaustive list of banned substances to test for, are steroids not included in these tests? Which further begs the question of how exactly did Kimo Leopardo test positive for steroids in the first place?
You can’t erase my comments, I’m the only visitor this site has ever had. If you delete my comments, you’ll go back down to zero again.
please furnish me with info on morphine. I feel I must take morphine in considerable dosage in order to have bigger musccles and combat heavy pain
I have a video by Bas, it is a pretty decent one to check out for self defense. As far as what someone puts in their bodies… that is up to them in my opinion.
Bas has been in pain since fighting for ages. He even states that he no longer has cartilage on his knee, which explains the use of painkillers.
Had Bas not used thos painkillers, HE WOULD HAVE NOT WALKED THE STAGE in the first place..
