I believe Roy was trying to paint Shane into a corner, if you can
recall, Shane was the smallest he had ever been for his last fight
against Junior Dos Santos at UFC 131. Let’s make the assumption that
Shane had juiced every fight leading up to that last fight, which he
hasn’t, but let’s just make that stupid assumption. Why would Roy test
him now and make it such a big issue? The reason Roy is doing it is
simple, it gives him the ability to tear his opponent down.
Roy alleges to be this blue collar guy, but in reality Shane is the
real blue collar worker. Roy talks about being blue collar, but its
Shane who goes out and digs ditches. Roy wants to make money off of that
gimmick and you can’t trash Shane in that regard. It’s a very difficult
position for Roy to be in.
The reason Shane came in as small as he did at UFC 131 is very
simple. He had a tough time dealing with the loss to Brock Lesnar at UFC
116 and the way the fight ended. Everything he did that night worked,
but he still lost. After the fight he over analyzed and read books about
lactic acidosis and what causes it. Shane found out that certain
supplements and a lack of a proper nutritional diet can cause it.
Another cause is when you over work your body and Shane felt as though
he qualified on all three accounts.
What Shane didn’t take into account were the crushed nerves in his
back and the fact that they had a lot to do with the condition. He went
out and hired a nutritionist who made him go from eating a lot of meat
to eating like a vegan. He had him eating a lot of organic foods and
Shane’s coaches were complaining that he couldn’t keep the weight on. He
completely cut out all of the supplements and to this day hasn’t gone
back to taking any of them. He went from one extreme to the other.
The surgery he had cut through the middle of his back up by his neck
and shoulder blades. All of those muscles were cut in half and that
controlled his head and shoulder movement along with the way he threw
his punches. He only had 30 days to adjust to those changes. He had to
retrain his body to do all of those things and doing that while fighting
JDS is not a good idea.
The crazy thing about Shane and all of this Bloody Elbow mess is they
always seem to be targeting him or me, a lot of that stems from
conversations Jonathan Snowden and I were having about some other
issues. They are the only outlet I reached out to because they had
really laid off on him and had overturned their staff. Then their
headline says, “Shane & Roy Agree to VADA Testing”.
I emailed one of their writers and said this is why we have a problem
with VADA. People were getting their information wrong and this is
before I had even heard from VADA. I explained to them in great detail,
according to Brent Brookhouse, I wrote a total of 12 paragraphs. The
reason why it was so long is because they have a history of getting
things wrong when it comes to Shane.
I understand the PR dilemma that comes with the 2010 Applied Pharmacy
case out of Alabama. There are times when athletes aren’t allowed to
tell their story regardless if sources have it right or wrong. Sometimes
you are in a partnership with people and you have to defer judgment to
them no matter what is being said about you. The people associated with
that Endeavour (Applied Pharmacy) are victims, they aren’t
co-conspirators and they are not even witnesses.
In a post Barry Bonds/Mark McGwire era does anyone think a report of
that magnitude could come out that listed 12 MLB players and not one
served a suspension? There were NHL players, wrestlers (Kurt Angle) and
Shane was also on there. None of the commissions ever got involved. If
being on this list is such a problem for Roy then why did he try and
have Kurt Angle serve as one of his coaches on TUF?
I will venture to say that all of the athletes who were on that list
were never even interviewed. Shane was never interviewed by any
investigator, but when you have a case in which a lot of government
money is involved it’s important for them to make a big deal about
winning and how they won. They spent a lot of money bringing this
pharmacy down.
Essentially the way it all worked and I’m not 100% factual about all
of it, but as Shane explained it to me, there is parent hub pharmacy
which was Applied Pharmacy Services in Alabama. They were selling
franchises to doctors and business people in other areas, Greeley, Co
was one of those areas, and that’s where Shane lives. A sheriff and a
doctor from Greeley set up this affiliate. 4,400 people from Greeley
heard about the miraculous, wonderful things this clinic was doing.
The patients who were participating in this are guilty of being vain,
thinking there is some type of scientific drug that is legal and will
help you get younger and healthier faster than anything else available.
Patients would go and visit these clinics and they would send you back
to your physician and explain what type of blood work was required and
you’re doctor would either agree with their assessment or he wouldn’t.
In Shane’s case the doctors were receiving incentives from these
clinics and that is why they lost their licenses. They knew that these
prescriptions weren’t legitimate and there was no way that so many
people were in need of the same medications. They failed in their oath
and Shane’s doctor was one of those physicians. Although it said that
S.C. received HGH and other substances it doesn’t mean it arrived like
that, it was packaged differently. They duped these people into
believing they were taking legitimate drugs yet some of the substances
aren’t legal to give to human beings.
That’s why doctors not only lost their licenses; they got arrested
and went to jail. The government raided their offices and they have the
records of all the patients treated at these clinics. There was not one
patient charged in this case. It was just a bunch of people going into a
doctor to get a shot of B-12 and then being shot up with HGH without
their consent or their knowledge. Shane wasn’t even set on MMA as his
career at that time.
Shane was thinking about becoming a body builder and was hanging
around with Ron Waterman and a group of other guys and they called
themselves The God Squad. continued...  | |
