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... | |
